Description

Fans of a certain marmalade-loving bear will fall in love with this heart-melting manga about a fearless marsupial from down under!

On safari in Australia, a wealthy traveller meets a talking wallaby who loves Japan and never thought he'd get a chance to visit. It turns out this traveller is also the principal of a private school in Japan, and before the little wallaby knows it, he's been whisked away to the land of the rising sun and plunked in front of a class full of students as a substitute teacher! Mr. Wallaby will need all the courage in his footlong frame to take responsibility for all these kids—and they may just find his cuteness too distracting to learn anything, too!

Slice-of-life manga meets Paddington Bear meets a Steve Irwin nature special in this sweet and silly three-volume manga series.
