Synopsis
Failed suicide becomes teacher in dead woman's identity at dangerous high school, helping troubled students.
Bullied since birth, repulsive in every regard, and hopelessly in debt due to a cosplay obsession, Mitsuru Fukushima decides to end his dismal life to escape his sorrows. However, upon arrival at his chosen suicide spot he finds the body of Mitsuko Fukushima, who looks identical to his cross-dressing persona. Enchanted by the luxuries she left behind, Mitsuru impulsively abandons his suicide plans to take on Mitsuko's identity. His plans for a glamorous, carefree life are quickly dashed when he discovers he must take over Mitsuko's job: a new teacher at Teihen High School, one of the most dangerous schools in the country. Thrust back into the high school setting that tormented his youth, Mitsuru must now head class Tiger—home of Teihen High's most troubled and dangerous students. Though desperate to escape this unwanted situation, Mitsuru finds himself increasingly entangled in the lives of his students, inadvertently helping them with their problems while building a reputation as an unconventional educator. As he struggles to maintain his borrowed identity, dark secrets from Mitsuko's past begin to surface, threatening to shatter the fragile new life he's built.
