Happy Lesson - Mom-ageddon (Vol. 1)
Chitose Hitotose now has five moms and all five of them also happen to be his teachers. In Japan, when a young boy is orphaned, he can return to his house when he reaches his teens. Chitose is not doing so well at school, his grades suck and he gets into fights. Just at the point where he can manage for himself and adapt to the conflicts of life alone and the pressures of school, he shares his story with teacher Mutsuki Ichimonji. Before he knows it not only Mutsuki, but four other teachers, all female, decide they need to be his 'mom' to help him out and give him the support (and love) a boy needs to become a man and they all move into his house to act as his surrogate mothers. For a fourteen-year-old boy with dreams of independence this is a nightmare come true. Soon his whole life is being run by a group of crazy women who, as he complains, have 'adopted me as a pet'. In the initial competition for who would be is 'official' mother, the five frantically compete for his affections. Chitose finds himself reeling from vitamin injections to having his teeth brushed until he has a typical teenage crisis. When everything gets sorted out we get a vision of a lonely boy who needs affection just as much as he needs to get his own way. In the dust from the 'mama Olympics' Chitose manages to forge the basis for a crazy but supportive family setting that is bound to provide countless episodes of laughter and enjoyment.
