We spent half of our lives in schools, be it good or bad, we always reminisce about the good old days! But those memories that really stuck with me are the different people that I got to meet during those school days. From eccentric classmates to the most popular students, you get the most colorful people to mingle with within the classroom. And, how could we forget, the teachers who inspired us to grow to be what we can be in the future?

The teacher-student dynamic is present in the anime world because who wouldn’t want their sensei to be cool? These teachers, who are the main characters of the variety of anime in this blog post, will surely leave you loving them even more! 

CHEMISTRY! That’s right, teachers in anime tend to have the best banter with their students. And, of course, the natural badasses are looked up to by their own class. Here are the top 11 anime where the MC is a master:
