【Surreal x School Comedy】 The various incidents that occur in a girls' high school, and the teachers' ultra-serious yet enjoyable responses are heartwarming! Onna no Sono no Hoshi!

The setting is an ordinary girls' high school that could be found anywhere. The story progresses from the perspective of Hoshi-sensei. There are no particularly unusual school traditions or outrageous teachers, so what is depicted is purely the daily life of teachers and students. However, the charm lies in the subtle comical moments hidden in that daily life and the amusing nuances in the dialogue.

Hoshi-sensei is basically a serious, calm, and sensible character. However, that doesn't mean he lacks a playful side or has no quirks. There are moments where he calmly makes witty remarks about the slightly odd happenings around him. When he gets drunk, he shows a different side with unusual laughter and crying, which is also one of his charming aspects.

The story is told from Hoshi-sensei's perspective. When he notices that the students are playing picture shiritori in the remarks column of the class diary, he enjoys the process of discovering their creative ideas, despite being bewildered by their free-spiritedness. Additionally, he calmly deals with an unusual situation where a strange dog is hanging from the classroom balcony. The episode where he ends up taking care of the dog, Setsuko (Tapioca), symbolizes the oddity hidden in Hoshi-sensei's serious daily life.

The story is set in a girls' high school, featuring many female students. The daily lives of high school girls depicted during after-school and class scenes have some quirky aspects, yet many relatable situations are also portrayed. The note-passing during class and the noise during self-study periods create laughs with their perfect misalignment with reality.

Hoshi-sensei's colleagues include male teachers like Kobayashi-sensei and Nakamura-sensei. They also don't have any particularly strange traits, making them realistic characters who could exist as actual teachers. For example, Kobayashi-sensei is humorously nicknamed the Polo Shirt Ambassador by the students. The portrayal of real student life adds to the charm.
