The central roles of the series are voiced by Marika Kouno as the anxious and physically weak teacher Hiyori Hiwamura and Sho Hatano as her student Akito Abikura. The series adaptation is produced by Studio Brain's Base. The direction is handled by Hiroshi Ishiodori, while Yoshifumi Fukushima is responsible for the series composition. The character design is by Naoki Aisaka, and the musical accompaniment is composed by Akifumi Tada and Rina Tayama.
The series, which is classified in the romantic comedy genre, tells the story of Hiyori Hiwamura. The young English teacher is feared by her students due to her shy and awkward demeanor and is even thought to be a witch. In reality, however, she is anxious and insecure. Her secret is discovered by the student Akito Abikura, who then decides to help her build her self-confidence and resolve the misunderstanding among her classmates. The dynamic and often clumsy relationship between the vulnerable teacher and her helpful student forms the core of the narrative.
The anime series for Kamio Fukuchi's manga "Yowayowa Sensei" (English title: Yowayowa Sensei) is scheduled to start in April.
