Daddy is My Classmate

Widower and struggling novelist Gataro shocks his beloved daughter Sakura when he unexpectedly decides to return to university and stay by her side.

When Sakura and her classmates visit Hatakeyama’s place in search of ghosts, Hatakeyama finally reveals the big secret he’s been keeping from Gataro.

Horrified at the thought of Sakura being objectified in the Miss Rissei University Pageant, Gataro stages a protest in an effort to abolish the event.

Sakura can’t believe her eyes when she sees Hatakeyama has a girlfriend. Later, she and Gataro offer to work part-time at the café where Misaki works.

Noticing Sakura’s obvious crush on Hatakeyama, a thoughtful Hiroko tries to bring the shy pair together. But an overprotective Gataro has other ideas.

Revealing why his writing has suffered over the past two years, Gataro begs Ozaki for another chance. The Obika household bustles with winter guests.

A stunned Sakura struggles to accept Misaki’s romantic interest in Gataro. Sensing something is amiss, Sakura’s grandma shows up in Tokyo unannounced.
