The 5th episode of the drama 'なんで私が神説教' starring Alice Hirose and Ryota Watanabe from Snow Man, will be broadcast on May 10, 2025 at 21:00 JST on the Nippon TV network. In the episode, students face expulsion due to smoking suspicions, but Seira (played by Ayami Okazaki) is indifferent. Shizuka (played by Hirose) tries to protect the students from unfair punishment. Watanabe's character, Urami, has his girlfriend appear, leading to further developments. A photo of 11 second-year students allegedly smoking at a karaoke store becomes a major problem. The photo is from 1 year ago, and the 11 students were in Seira's class at the time, leading to Seira being questioned. Shizuka is frustrated by Urami's attempts to comfort Seira. Moriguchi tries to use this incident for 'school reform'. It was thought that the students suspected of smoking, including Mai Hayakawa (played by Mami Ozawa), the daughter of the PTA president Sayaka Kohayakawa (played by Mayuko Iwasa), would not be expelled. Shizuka tries to awaken the unmotivated Seira and prevent unfair expulsions.
In a twist that adds to the drama, Urami is suspected of putting up a flyer that says 'Shizuka Urumi is a murderer' by Moriguchi, but he firmly denies it. Meanwhile, Shizuka overhears Urami expressing his anger towards Moriguchi at a pub. At the same pub, Seira is seen drinking with her boyfriend, Dai Yamasaki (played by Ryuji Maehara), and Shizuka and Urami witness a moment where Seira is flirting, adding tension to the storyline.
The smoking scandal revolves around a photo that has circulated among students, showing 11 second-year students allegedly smoking at a karaoke shop. The students involved include Ayaka Uchimoto (played by Hana Toyoshima), Hinata Nunokawa (played by Asahi Kiyone), Mai Hayakawa (played by Riyo Matsumoto), and Riko Ota (played by Miwa Niinuma). This photo dates back a year, when these students were under Seira's supervision, which puts her in a difficult position as she is held responsible for the actions of her class. However, Seira appears to be preoccupied with her own troubles, particularly the shock of being dumped by her boyfriend, which hampers her ability to respond effectively to the crisis at hand.
As the drama unfolds, Urami attempts to comfort Seira, but Shizuka is annoyed by his simplistic words of encouragement. During a conversation, Urami asks Shizuka if she has ever dated anyone, which hints at his own feelings and adds depth to his character. The introduction of Urami's girlfriend further complicates the dynamics between the characters, leading to more chaotic interactions.
In the midst of this turmoil, Moriguchi sees an opportunity to push for 'school reform' amid the chaos. Despite the heavy implications of the smoking scandal, it is believed that the students involved, particularly Mai Hayakawa, who is the daughter of the influential PTA president, will not face expulsion. This raises questions about fairness and accountability within the school system.
Shizuka, determined to protect her students, faces the challenge of awakening the disinterested Seira and preventing what she perceives as unjust expulsions. The episode promises to explore themes of responsibility, the pressures of modern education, and the complexities of student-teacher relationships.
As the narrative progresses, viewers will see Shizuka grappling with her own motivations and the ethical dilemmas posed by the situation. The pressure to conform to institutional expectations clashes with her desire to advocate for her students, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation.
Overall, 'なんで私が神説教' continues to blend humor and serious themes, reflecting the struggles of contemporary educators in a challenging environment. The show, which airs every Saturday at 21:00 on Nippon TV, is a fresh take on school entertainment, resonating with audiences who appreciate both the comedic and serious undertones of educational life.
