Orphan Fansubs is pleased to present the first English version of the 1980 TV special, *Botchan*. Based on the much loved 1906 novel by Natsume Souseki, *Botchan* is a coming-of-age comedy about a young Tokyo man attempting to teach math to a group of unruly middle school boys in Shikoku. His lack of experience lands him in hot water with both his peers and his students, but he gradually learns to distinguish true worth from surface respectability.  The raw is a 720p web rip by YES. For more information, see [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2020/11/botchan.html). This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
