To escape and stave off amputation of a portion of his anatomy, he disguises himself as his sister, also named Haijima Akira, and takes her places as teacher of English at a high-school. Akira has to navigate the perils of being a (female) high-school educator, equipped only with a ferocious temper and a total lack of knowledge. Mayhem ensues. For more information, see [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2024/01/mellow.html). VHS source, so don't expect much in the way of video quality..
