"I love my daughter so much that I decided to go to the same college!"

Daddy Is My Classmate is a comedy series about Tarō Obika, a devoted single father who enrolls at the same university as his daughter Sakura to protect her from the perils of college life. Widowed years earlier, Gatarō has raised Sakura alone and struggles to let go as she transitions from an all-girls school to a coeducational campus. His solution: join her classes, her clubs, her parties—everything. What begins as overbearing parental surveillance transforms into something unexpected. As the 40-year-old immerses himself in student life, he discovers a newfound joy in the youthful energy surrounding him, gradually learning to trust his daughter's independence while rediscovering his own place in the world. The series balances heartfelt family dynamics with lighthearted chaos as Gatarō navigates the gap between fatherhood and personal growth.
