Nozomu Itoshiki is depressed. Very depressed. He’s certifiably suicidal, but he’s also the beloved schoolteacher of a class of unique students, each charming in her own way: The stalker. The shut-in. The obsessive-compulsive. The girl who comes to class every day with strange bruises. And Kafuka, the most optimistic girl in the world, who knows that every cloud has a silver lining. For all of them, it’s a special time, when the right teacher can have a lasting positive effect on their lives. But is that teacher Itoshiki, a.k.a. Zetsubou-sensei, who just wants to find the perfect place to die?

Juan Stewart

Luis Martinez

Hunter Myers
It was a nice try.
Brandon Jenkins
Thanks OP
Chase Russell
Man, this was a weird one, huh?
Dominic Smith
wow
Chase Martinez
Thanks for the dump OP. I tend to avoid other peoples dramas, so nothing worth to mention.
Owen Thompson
Well, I'm writing fanfiction for this fandom I like, and it's kinda weird being a god of a fictional universe. I didn't mean for it to become a drama story, but it just somehow became that way when I wrote it out. I just wanted to write fluff man...
Juan Ortiz
Is it just me or today's chapter doesn't have a punchline?
Henry Roberts
I feel like I've been sucked into OP's drama by reading these chapters everyday
Connor Walker
Yes, I am user, the main character.
Jackson White
Thanks for the dump like always OP.
Josiah Collins
Thanks OP. I'm cast as "Unlicensed Psychiatrist" and "Marriage Counselor" four or five times a week.
Austin Foster
Thanks OP
Parker Fisher
thanks, OP. i've never acted in any dramas, but i voiced the majority of shakespeare's leading roles in my senior year poetry class because nobody else wanted to, so MacBeth and Hamlet. i was in a university marching band drumline in front of a weekly crowd of 110k people, i think that's a better performance. thanks, countanon
I'm in love with her perfectly average proportions
Aiden Clark
Alas, poor Chiri Thanks again OP I once unwittingly played the part of "guy who I'm threatening to leave you for" on behalf of a woman who was trying to save her relationship. I thought we were all just becoming good, genuine friends with eachother, but it later became apparent to me that during a really rough period in their relationship with eachother, the woman specifically invited me to to come along to their dates as a third wheel as a sort of threat to force her boyfriend to step up, less he be replaced. I was pretty surprised: I'm not especially handsome, very normal etc, but apparently it was enough to make him jealous. I do feel like I was used, but it was a little flattering. It also worked, they resolved their problems and got married soon after, and they remain happily together to this day.
I remember I was helping out with orientation activities at my uni and one of the incoming students made a minor mistake with the activity. I pointed it out and he started tearing up and said something along the lines of how he can't do anything right. I tried to tell him something about how everyone makes mistakes and learning is why he's going to uni, but he just left and I never saw him come back. I felt less like user and more like "scruffy instructor", playing a minor part in this dudes breakdown. Hope he's doing alright

>Alas, poor Chiri Why do people pretend like she doesn't deserve that treatment?
Samuel Williams
you can get away with being outrageously fucked up as long as you're cute.
Lucas Russell
39 OP. I was in Arsenic and Old Lace, all I remember about it was blacking out on the last night of the production and being told hours later I flubbed my lines.
Jeremiah Perez
Except she doesn't get away with it.
Wyatt King
Anyone else get the new release of the first season? The translation notes are fucking thick. It's like an entire novel. >pic related
This is probably just season 1 too, right? Awesome. My copy should arrive today as well.
Eli Collins
Yeah. I hope it sells well after all these years. Rightstuf really gave it the care it deserved so it'd be nice to see them do the rest of the series as well.
Anthony Collins
In Zetsubou threads, I play one of the anons who try to direct general attention towards underrated side characters. Likewise, I also preferred side roles myself back in drama club, as those are more likely to allow artistic freedom in their interpretation. It's always fun to try to steal the spot light from the main actors that are bound by everyone's expectations for the play's protagonists. I got one of the lead roles once or twice, and remembering all those lines and changing customes with that much screentime was really a pain. The most noteworthy drama was probably Frankenstein, with me playing as a sailor, a procurer of human body parts, and the jailor.
Connor Howard
mine was in my city this morning, then across the country at noon, now back at my city zetsuboushita
Thanks. >drama Always dodged but there was one time I played King Lear in King Lear. Twas fun.
Jacob Scott
Do you have the Pani Poni Dash! TL notes too?
Jaxson Lopez
thanks OP > What are some noteworthy dramas you've played in? What were you cast as? I played in a drama adaptation of Daniil Kharms' poems. I was casted as an autistic guy who invite a girl to lunch, the role fitted me well.
Henry Anderson
thx op. This is one of my favorite chapters and also one of the most anxiety inducing. I feel like I'm constantly running into people who want to typecast me into something instead of "dude #23,406". Perhaps it's just paranoia.
Julian Green
We we're playing dodgeball and one guy got hit trying to defend the other guy, the one that got hit acted like he was about to die and the other guy held him in his arms, swearing to defeat me since I actually caused this. I was made to play the role of bad guy.
Dylan Hughes
Did he defeat you?
Colton Wright
Unfortunately for him, I got hit by someone else so I was sent out of the court. After a lot of play they lost interest in this storyline. I'm sorry for the anti-climax.
"every man is a hero in his own tale. Surely, Dr Maturin, every man must look on himself as wiser and more intelligent and more virtuous than the rest, so how could he see himself as the villain, or even as a minor character? And you must have noticed that heroes are never beaten."
Hunter Jackson
I am in despair. The anti-climactic conclusion of a stupid storyline, made up by school kids, has left me in despair.
