Description:
Not surprisingly, young, perennially broke Hibiki Amawa encounters some problems in his effort to pass as a female gym teacher at prestigious Seitow Sannomiya Junior High (which employs only female instructors). He narrowly escapes when the suspicious vice principal insists he undergo a physical exam, then the well-meaning director of the school sets up an omiai (a formal meeting between prospective marriage partners) with his handsome nephew. Somehow, Hibiki manages to come out on top, usually with help from his gun-toting landlady, Ba-Chan. But his students are also pulling for him, as Hibiki's kind nature is gradually winning them over. As Amawa-sensei, he helps them resolve their quarrels and overcome their insecurities. Strawberry Eggs is a very silly series, but its good-natured warmth more than compensates for the sexist jokes and unnecessary "fan service" jiggle shots. (Rated 13 and older: risqué humor, brief nudity, cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
