About Miss Machiko

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Miss Machiko (まいっちんぐマチコ先生) deserves a look (1981). The setup goes like this. The setup: Based on the manga by Takeshi Ebihara. Mai Machiko is the newest teacher at Asama Elementary; she's young, beautiful, and has the perfect proportions - traits that attract the attention of not only her students, but the rest of the perverted faculty as well.

Beyond that: Whether it's luring her in and spraying up her skirt with a hose or leaps and bounds to grab her breasts, there's nothing that Machiko's first year students won't try to do. Regardless of her embarrassing plight, Machiko is always a good sport and tries her best to help out her students - at any cost to her dignity!

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Rihoko Yoshida as Machiko Mai and Masako Nozawa as Kenta Ikegami. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 95 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
