Meet Me After School

Hijiri Suenaga (Arimura Kasumi) is a 25-year-old teacher who takes on a job as a replacement teacher at a co-ed school. She is wildly popular with her new students, who are all fascinated by her. She has been dating Shotaro Kawai (Keita Machida), a busy but successful company employee, for several years and he is hoping to marry Hijiri Suenaga – even though his work means he cannot join her to be nearby as she starts her new job. But one of Hijiri Suenaga’s students, Akira Kuroiwa (Kenshi Okada), starts to develop feelings for her – feelings that soon turn into love. He tries to express his emotions to her, but she is fearful of the relationship. Meanwhile, things threaten to get very complicated when Shotaro Kawai starts to talk of marriage, arranging a meeting between his parents and Hijiri Suenaga’s – all the time while Akira Kuroiwa’s love for his teacher continues to grow...and one of his female classmates starts to fall for him! This drama was based on a long-running manga series that debuted in 2013. “Meet Me After School” is a 2018 Japanese drama series that was directed by Ayuko Tsukahara, Kentaro Takemura, and Toshio Tsuboi.
