When Will It Be My Turn? – Yasuda, Nakamine, Yoshikawa, Toru
Yasuda, as perverted as ever, gets jealous of the physics teacher, Nakamine, when Yoshikawa pulls him aside to fix a hole in his jacket. He watches from the window, with Toru, jealous of the interaction.
I Can’t Tolerate Your Behavior Anymore – Yasuda, Terajima, Hori, Sengoku
It isn’t clear why Yasuda is the way he is. Could it be because he is single? Maybe because he is lonely? It’s hard to say. The only thing that is clear is that Terajima is getting tired of him saying inappropriate things to students. Which isn’t to imply any student takes him seriously, but with talking about doing a strip search of Hori and Sengoku, with him focused on Hori’s lower half, Terajima sets Yasude straight.
Note: It only lasts a day, the radical change, but it shows maybe there is hope.
New Character Description(s)
Nakamine
Imagine Yanagi, into physics, but still as much of a mess as he was as a teenager and a dash more nerdy.
Terajima
Think of Terajima as Hori if she ever became a teacher for she can cut with her words, is often portrayed as serious, but has a potential soft side.
Review
On The Fence
So We Got To Know The Pervert
A part of me wants to find Yasuda comical, but he is so perverted, and while everyone laughs it off or doesn’t take him seriously, it still gives me pause. However, while not mentioned above, I appreciate that he seems lenient when it matters, and even if inappropriate, the kids seem to like him and enjoy talking to him.
It makes me wish we could have gotten to know what led to him becoming a teacher vs. the type of teacher he is but how this season wants to tell a story is drastically different from how the first season did. More often for worse than better.
