The Girls I Teach Are My Landlords

Burnt out and broke, Fujii Itsuki fled Tokyo after a disastrous teaching career, dreaming of a quiet life running a coffee shop in snowy Otaru. Instead, a twist of fate throws him back into the classroom, forcing him to teach again just to survive. But his new reality is far from quiet: his students aren't just ordinary high school girls – they're also his landlords, holding the key to his future home. Among them is the beautiful, cold-hearted girl he tried to save from a train, the sunny sister from his past, and a mysterious shrine maiden who always gazes into the distance. Each girl hides a deep void in their hearts, seeking and clinging to something unspoken, pulling Itsuki into a tangled web of complicated and restless emotions far more dangerous than any Tokyo classroom.
