1. Lesson 1 : Nice to Meet You, I'm Your Private Tutor, Kishi KnightToru (Tanaka Koki), a delinquent high schooler who spends his days fighting and consistently ranks last on academic tests, is finally called out by his mother, Reiko (Sato Eriko). She hires a stunningly handsome, supremely elegant super private tutor named Kishi Knight (Sawamura Rei ). Toru tries to chase him away with his usual nitpicking, but Kishi responds perfectly and gracefully, preparing textbooks for all subjects. Even his ridiculous answers are praised as "talent," leaving Toru completely perplexed! This is the beginning of a sweet lesson with the 1000% prince-like Kishi Knight (nicknamed Kishi Kishi).CC24minJan 5, 2026
2. Lesson 2: 以貌取人 (IboShuJin) (Judge a person by his appearance)Delinquent high schooler Toru (Tanaka Kouki) is fed up with adults who judge based on appearances. During his second lesson with tutor Kishi Knight (Sawamura Rei), Toru shows no motivation, lounging lazily on the bed, until Kishi surprises him with a quirky new teaching method: “sleeping together”! Caught off guard, Toru struggles to keep his cool. One day, on the way home, Kishi notices something about how Toru interacts with other kids. Focusing on what’s inside rather than outward looks, Kishi sincerely praises Toru’s good qualities, sparking small but real changes in him.CC24minJan 12, 2026
3. Lesson 3: Nobishiro ObakeYankee high schooler Toru (Koki Tanaka) desperately tries to resist getting swept up in Kishi Knight’s (Rei Sawamura) pace, but inevitably gets carried along by his flow. Even when Toru scores zero on a math mini‑test, Kishi Knight flashes his prince‑like smile and declares, “Mistakes are wonderful teaching tools.” He goes all out praising Toru as a “growth‑potential monster,” throwing him completely off balance.
During English class, Kishi Knight suddenly brushes a gentle finger against Toru’s lips, offers him Okocha tea to help him relax, and treats him to a full course of gentlemanly behavior, leaving Toru’s heart racing from start to finish.
P.S: Nobishiro Obake is a character from Japanese folklore, symbolizing growth and success.CC24minJan 19, 2026
4. Lesson 4: Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored oneToru (Koki Tanaka), a delinquent high schooler, cuts short a fight with Tsuyoshi (Masaya Sakuragi), a delinquent from another school, and rushes home to make it in time for his lesson with his private tutor, Kishi Kishi (Rei Sawamura). Kishi Kishi praises Toru’s creative ateji like “Airabiyu” (“Love and Courage”) before beginning a lesson in classical Chinese. On another day, when Tsuyoshi mocks Kishi Kishi as “lame” for being a private tutor, Toru can’t hold back and ends up getting into another fight. As Kishi Kishi treats his injuries, he gently tells him there is a path to becoming stronger than winning through fighting. Motivated by the promise of a “reward for scoring 100,” Toru regains his determination to study once again.CC24minJan 26, 2026
5. Lesson 5 : 愛羅武勇 (I Love You)「愛羅武勇」 is not a meaningful Japanese phrase. It’s a phonetic pun: each kanji is chosen only for its sound, not its meaning.CC24minFeb 2, 2026
6. Lesson 6: The moon is beautiful, isn't it ?Applying the lessons taught by his tutor Kishi Knight (Rei Sawamura), delinquent high schooler Toru (Koki Tanaka) achieves over 50 points in every subject on his final exams. He begins to discover the joy of studying. As summer holidays begin, Tetsu happens upon a senior he'd admired. Finding the once-cool senior now rather lame, Toru seeks solace in Kishikishi – his ideal of a cool adult – and invites her out. Nervously excited at their first outing together, Toru watches as Kishikishi gazes up at the beautiful full moon on their way home and suddenly...
N.B: 月が綺麗ですね (Tsuki ga Kirei Desu Ne) is a well‑known indirect way of saying ‘I love you.’
Responding ‘Yes, it is beautiful’ implies that the feeling is mutual.”CC24minFeb 9, 2026
7. Lesson 7: Waku Waku FestivalYamasen asks Toru and his friends to volunteer at a children’s event, and their motivation skyrockets when they learn that Kishikishi will be attending.

Assigned to play ghosts in the haunted house, Toru and Kishikishi work together to protect frightened kids.
