Synopsis
Alien teacher Mizuho and student Kei fall in love, hiding their forbidden romance from others.
One day, Kei Kusanagi notices a strange glowing woman by the lake. He discovers that the woman is actually an alien officer from the Galaxy Federation named Mizuho Kazami, and even more shocking—she's also his teacher! In spite of this setback, he and his teacher gradually get to know each other and a romance blossoms between them. Now they must navigate the challenges of keeping their unusual relationship hidden from those around them. Onegai☆Teacher is the fragile but comedic love story of an alien and her student.
