Nozomu Itoshiki is depressed. Very depressed. He’s certifiably suicidal, but he’s also the beloved schoolteacher of a class of unique students, each charming in her own way: The stalker. The shut-in. The obsessive-compulsive. The girl who comes to class every day with strange bruises. And Kafuka, the most optimistic girl in the world, who knows that every cloud has a silver lining. For all of them, it’s a special time, when the right teacher can have a lasting positive effect on their lives. But is that teacher Itoshiki, a.k.a. Zetsubou-sensei, who just wants to find the perfect place to die?
>Rakugo A form of traditional Japanese verbal entertainment that still enjoys great popularity. A lone storyteller/comedian sits on the stage, and using only a paper fan and a small cloth, depicts a long and complicated comical story. The stories always involve dialogue that the actor plays out by changing the pitch and tone of his/her voice. In this manga, Jun Kutou is an accomplished rakugo comedian.
>Yaoi manga Yaoi is a genre of featuring male-male romantic and often sexual explicit pairings. Often written by and geared toward female audiences, in this manga, Harumi Fujiyoshi is a big yaoi fan, and also authors her own yaoi dojinshi (amateur manga).
>“The best yaoi can be found in Meguro,” The Dojinshi from Meguro The framework of Jun’s story about a princess is modeled after a rakugo (see above) story called “The Sanma from Meguro.” In this story, a Shogun tastes a grilled sanma (a Pacific saury, which was known as a vulgar fish at that time), in Meguro, and loves its fatty flavor, which he had never tasted before. He orders his chef to cook sanma for him, but the chef, afraid of upsetting the stomach of a great man, steams the fish. After tasting the steamed sanma, the Shogun asks where the chef got the sanma. The chef answered that it was from Nihon-bashi fish market, after which the Shogun says, “the best sanma can be caught in Meguro.” This is the punch line of the rakugo, and demonstrates the Shogun’s obliviousness to the fact that Meguro was just a poor inland village.
And that's all for today. What are you really scared of? __________
>“What are you really scared of?,” Scared of Animation Also modeled after a rakugo, this is the story of a group of young men who get together and discuss what they’re most afraid of. Most of them say things such as snakes and spiders, but one man insists he is scared of nothing. When pressed, he admits that he is most scared of manju (bean paste buns). The other men, angry at his arrogance, decide to teach him a lesson by giving him bean paste buns. At first pretending to be scared, he ends up happily eating the buns, and then declaring that what he’s really most scared of, is the tea famous from that region...

Feeling any better today OP?
I am actually afraid of snakes. I have a reoccurring nightmare about once a month or so where there's a snake in my bed and I wake up and jump out of bed and throw my lights on before realizing it was a dream.
