• Comedy

Itoshiki Nozomu may be the most negative person alive. He sees no hope or meaning in existence, and even the three kanji of his name, when squeezed together, form the two-kanji word zetsubou, meaning "despair." The slightest misfortune, such as paying a subway toll, can plunge him into such deep anguish that he attempts suicide. With fitting irony, this gloomy man is a high school teacher whose class is full of students as eccentric and troubled as he is. They include Kiri Komori, a recluse who will not leave the school; Abiru Kobushi, who often turns up with severe, unexplained injuries; and Fuura Kafuka, an unshakably optimistic girl who is his complete opposite. The series is a satirical slice-of-life comedy set in the present day. It uses Nozomu's dealings with his students to poke fun at many aspects of modern Japanese life and culture.
