Yowayowa Sensei (よわよわ先生, lit. 'Weak-willed Teacher') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kamio Fukuchi. It began serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in November 2022 and has been compiled into nine tankōbon volumes as of October 2024.
Plot
[edit]The series follows Akihito Abikura, a second-year high school student. His new homeroom teacher is Hiyori Hiwarimura, an English teacher who recently graduated from university. Due to her shy personality, she does not make a good impression. Her use of a notebook full of sticky notes leads to rumors about her putting curses on the students, leading them to misunderstand her and refer to her as "Scary Teacher." Akihito realizes she is not scary at all, just misunderstood. After seeing her teach in an empty classroom with only a stuffed animal, he offers to help her overcome her shyness.
