Kusanagi Kei is a young boy different from other boys. While his real age is 18, he looks like a 15 year old physically due to a disease he has... The disease is similar to that of a coma... The disease is refered to Kei himself as standstills as this is a disease yet to be known by other doctors in the world.. and he once entered a standstill for a total amount of 3 years, making his body enter a half dead state, not breathing with only faint signs of life along with him.. However, still being alive. He hides the fact of his disease for school and friends. Believed to be a 15 year old, he lives his life making friends and maintaining his normal lifestyle up until a day with a fateful encounter to him... Gazing at the stars, he happens to notice a spaceship landing in the water.. a beautiful girl on the other side of the lake before him, She takes his breath away.. however, she doesn't seem completely human... The next day he finds himself in a strange position finding out that this girl from last night, joins as his new homeroom teacher.. As the storyline progresses the two have to face up to multiple obstacles, and romantic feelings starts to spark deep within the two of them, However unknowingly... Onegai Teacher is an anime with suspense, drama, romance and yes... it does have the scifi element, however I'm not particularly a fan of the scifi genre.. so in order for me to like Onegai teacher whom in reality is built on scifi elements.. that would make the anime relatively good, or the scifi not to exaggerated as it can be in many other animes.
The anime gives its characters good developments with personalities aswell with sideplots, however I'm not gonna go into details as doing so would be a spoiler in itself... The story was one that didn't make me cry, but upon reading comments.. lots of people did upon watching it...
I really recommend this anime to people who like romance as a main genre, and the scifi is likeable even to non scifi fans, give it a try.
