  • A common Japanese media character type, the female high school teacher who is fairly young, attractive, even cute, and on friendly terms with her students. On the other hand, she is still unmarried, and very conscious about it, as well as about the lack of respect she gets. She is usually extremely childish, such that even her own students appear more mature than her. If the story's emphasis is on the female students, she will act like one of the girls, a teenager in spirit. In Harem Series with a male protagonists, she is more likely to be a bit Hot for Student, as a comical side-character of the harem. A common character flaw Played for Laughs is being a Bottle Fairy. Their frequent complaints about being unable to settle down in a proper relationship, are probably based on the traditional Japanese culture's conflicting expectations, that a married woman shouldn't work, and a woman over 25 should be married, and for the intended audience of Anime, schoolteachers provided the first, childhood exposure to women with this dilemma, enforcing the stereotype that teachers are the sort of women who can never get married. The trope's name is a combination of two honorifics, "-sensei" is used for teachers, like "Miss", and "-chan" is an informal affectionate diminutive. While the combined usage is grammatically correct, and it reflects the characters in spirit, it's unlikely that anyone would use it for a Real Life teacher either in this form, or as "-chan-sensei", since it would be about as conflicting and disrespectful as "Miss-baby", or "Teacher chick" in English. On the other end, they tend to referred to on First-Name Basis by their students, which is incredibly rare in real life. "-sensei", like its western equivalents, is normally associated to the last name, but these characters may as well not have one. This trope can also overlap with Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher or Hippie Teacher. May preside over a Wacky Homeroom. Examples of Sensei-chan include:
