Why The Hell Are You Here, Teacher? (MVM, 18) "Kawanuma West may be a
public school, but some of its students are about to get private lessons in
sex ed courtesy of four very attractive teachers! To be clear, none of our
lady educational professionals begin their semesters by writing “get involved
with a fortunate male member of my class” in their daily planners… but strange
and inexplicable things keep happening to thrust our teacher/pupil combos into
sexually charged situations where something’s bound to happen! Whether it’s
falling into water, doors ripping off clothing, or that frequent staple of
Japanese school life, the accidental breast/face collision, these poor ladies
just can’t help it. And what are the guys supposed to do as they’re pulled
deeper and deeper into titillating TILF traps of epic proportions?"
