About Goodbye Teacher Despair

Goodbye Teacher Despair (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) blends comedy, school and shounen by Shaft (2007). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Nozomu Itoshiki is a high school teacher so pessimistic that even the smallest of misfortunes can send him into a pit of raging despair; some of these "catastrophes" even lead to suicide sets out. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is a satirical slice-of-life comedy set in the modern day, covering various aspects of Japanese life and culture through Nozomu and his interactions with his students: Kiri Komori.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands.
