Part 1
"I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget"
homeroomJust try and stop this irrepressible 18-year-old! Tokiro Ehara has just landed a teaching job at an elite all-girl high school in Tokyo, and he's about to discover just how advanced his pretty pupils are - especially Miyako, an 18 year old coed with a mind all her own! Miyako's father asks Tokiro to watch over his daughter, but Tokiro soon begins to wonder, who's teaching whom? Inspired by the characters created by Ichiro Arima for the popular "Young Animal Magazine" comic strip "Tamin no Kankei", Homeroom Affairs, Part 1 is a learning experience in sexy Japanese-style comedy and romance!
Part 2
"I was born reckless"
Miyako's still hot for Teacher, but, hur ex-boyfriend wants to teach them both a lesson. Miyako and her teacher, Tokiro, have been living together for two months now, but, Tokiro continues to resist the eighteen-year-old's advances. The Miyako's ex arrives on the scene, and Homeroom Affairs graduates to an accelerated level of sexy comedy. Based on the characters created by Ichiro Arima for the popular "Young Animal Magazine" comic strip "Tamin no Kankei", Homeroom Affairs, Part 2 is an uproarious look at the flip side of high school life in Japan.
Details
In 1994, JC Staff, the studio now best known for producing shows including Azumanga Daioh, Ai Yori Aoshi, Slayers, and Utena, produced a two episode OVA adaptation of Ichiro Arima's 1993 risque comedy manga series Tanin no Kankei. Those two anime OVAs were subtitled and released on American VHS in 1996 as "Homeroom Affairs," the first domestic release from New York based distributor Star Anime Enterprises.
The Star Anime Enterprises release of Homeroom Affairs is among the most obscure and rarest of all official American anime releases. Given the age and relative obscurity of the title, it is unlikely to ever see it turn up on official American DVD.
Commentary
I've heard that this was rather scandalous when it was released in Japan, but, it's quite tame. Although, it claims repeatedly to be a comedy, it's mostly drama/romance. If you like this sort of thing, you would probably be better off with Maison Ikkoku. I used to have both subtitled VHS volumes.
