Miss Machiko,[1] also known asMaicching Machiko-sensei[2] (まいっちんぐマチコ先生,Maitchingu Machiko-sensei, lit. "The Shame of Miss Machiko") is amanga series written by Takeshi Ebihara. It was serialized in Japan inShōnen Challenge from May 1980 through February 1982. The individual chapters were collected and published in eighttankōbon volumes byGakken.
The series was adapted into a 95 episode anime series byStudio Pierrot that aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from October 8, 1981 to October 6, 1983. It was also adapted into four live-action OVAs, and two full-length live-action films. The anime was licensed for online streaming byDiscotek Media in 2016,[3] which would later turn to full rights in 2020.[4]
The series revolves around Miss Machiko Mai, a new middle school teacher who wears a revealing bubblegum skirt, and regularly finding herself in accidental sexual situations. Machiko is very popular with her students, especially the boys, who take delight in lifting up her skirts and devising traps to catch her in various stages of undress. Rather than get angry, Machiko responds by laughing it off and uttering her trademark phrase, "Maicchingu!" (meaning "How embarrassing").[5] Mai is generally a very kind and patient woman who cares about her students and does her best to help them with their problems.
Mai Machiko
She is one of the main character of the series. She is a glamorous young teacher, who is a new homeroom teacher at Arama Academy. She is very kind-hearted and always helpful to her students, among whom she is very popular. The boys take delight in lifting up her skirts and devising traps to catch her in various stages of undress. She has been described as having 'the perfect proportions'. Machiko understands that the boys only play pranks on her because they like her, and laughs them off by saying "Maicchingu!" (meaning "How embarrassing".)
In the series, her skirt is often lifted up by the boys so they can see her underwear, and also take delight in peeking while she is bathing. There are many scenes in which her clothes are shown torn up, where her breasts and butt are clearly visible. In the show, her bras, panties, breasts, and butt are shown.
Kenta
Kenta is also one of the protagonists, usually the main one to lift up the skirts of Machiko and the other girls of the school. He is not very good at studying, but is good in sports like skateboarding and frisbee. He is one of the most popular and mischievous students at the school. He is described as 'a pervert', who takes delight in flipping the skirts of all the girls around the school and touching their breasts, much to the annoyance of his girl classmates.
Kame
Kame is the best friend of Kenta, who usually accompanies Kenta in his pranks. He is usually a shy and calm personality, but can get a little out-of-control sometimes. He is usually shown as various swirling glasses.
Kinzo
Kinzo is also one of the best friends of Kenta. He has a fat body and appears as part of the trio of Kenta, Kame, and himself. He likes wrestling and would like to become a pro wrestler some day.
