Umechan Sensei (2012)

my 9th Asadora, but it's one of my favorites ♡

Umechan Sensei is an asadora that from the first episode made me fall in love with the story. The first half tells the story of how Ume found her dream and the process of making her dream come true, the second half tells about family and neighbor relationships.

I love how Ume's character is developing. she, who was previously only seen as a child who was carefree and had no strong points, not a top student and always everyone's afterthought. then she became a determined character with a sincere heart, became a reliable and useful person for everyone around her, even becoming her father's successor.

What I like:
• Character development. All the character development here is very good, not only for Ume, even her brother, sister, father, mother, Nobuo and everyone around her.
• Ume's character is a very kind heroine, always caring about everyone but not a pushover. Her character is sensitive and very considerate, always mediating whenever there is a problem.
• Sibling relationship. even though their relationship is like a normal sibling relationship, neither too close nor too far, their bond is strong, they care and are always there for each other, even after they are all married.
• I really like how her family is very supportive. they don't just accept the heroine's decision, but when she is determined they will all support the heroine.
• The heroine's time at university is included in the story. long enough and the learning is shown, because other asadoras are usually not shown.
• The comedy! I think the comedy is just right, several times I laughed out loud. Especially the relationship with neighbors.
• The story is resolved quickly, not long-winded, so it's not hard to watch.
• And of course, I really like our heroine and hero characters, the characters Ume and Nobuo are very suitable to be played by Horikita Maki and Matsuzaka Tori.
• Nobuo is one of the hero characters that I like the most in Asadora! Apart from Hide from Hiyokko, Daisuke from Mare and Kazunari from Ohisama. Nobuo's character development is also very significant, how at first he was immature until finally he was full of determination, responsibility, didn't give up easily, considerate and became someone Ume could lean on.

What I don't like:
• Constantly using the same place, but better compared to Hiyokko.
• The narrator is rarely heard, because one of the things I like about Asadora is the narration from the narrator.
• The story about 'Hiroshi' in the last few episodes slightly dragged the story, even though it ends well.

Overall, I really like Umechan Sensei! I'm not even willing to finish this Asadora because I don't want to part with all the characters. I highly recommend watching Umechan Sensei, it's a must watch!♡
