My Teacher
Directed by Takahiro Miki
Produced by Warner Bros. Japan, CBC
A romantic drama centered on a teenage girl's pursuit of her teacher, balancing earnest emotional discovery with the inherent tension of an inappropriate power dynamic.
Hibiki Shimada, a normal 17-year-old high-school student, still does not know how to fall in love—although surrounded by love "experts"—until one day she realizes she's fallen in love with her hot and nice 26-year-old teacher, Itō. She then takes a path to make her teacher understand how she feels for him.
