Happy Lesson (original spelling: HAPPY ★ LESSON) is a manga by the author Sasaki Mutsumi and the illustrator Shinnosuke Mori . The story was including in two OVAs , a thirteen-part anime - television series and a radio drama series implemented.

The manga tells the story of a student who lives with five of his teachers. The series is a comedy that can also be assigned to the harem genre .

action

Chitose Hitotose ( 仁 歳 チ ト セ ) lived alone in the house of his missing parents for a long time. Then five of his teachers will move in there. They now want to be good mothers to him and take care of him all the time. They try to improve his academic performance in a variety of ways, such as scientific experimentation, exorcism, and exercise. Hazuki Yazakura and Minazuki Rokumatsuri, old school friends of Chitose, also perform.

In the manga, Chitose is replaced by Susumu Arisaka, who is more eager and friendlier.

Conception

Although the series belongs to the harem genre , there is little romance and no kindhearted "lord" over the harem. Chitose is more likely to be the victim of the teachers' efforts and by no means master of the events.
