“Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine” aka “The Royal Tutor” is an adaptation of a manga from the “nominally” shounen manga magazine GFantasy. I call GFantasy “nominally” shounen because it publishes a lot of stories that feature bishiis in rather shoujo-style settings. Royal Tutor is no exception to this.

In some fantasy kingdom a new tutor is called in to tutor the four youngest princes who keep on driving off their tutors. The new tutor is a serious, renowned and very small man; so small that he continually gets mistaken for a child. The four princes are all bishiis and so the new tutor fills the roll of the “shouta” in a typical bishii-quintet comedy.

The first episode attempted to be a cross between the droll and cynical humour of “Zetsubou Sensei” and the warm, feel-good humour of “GTO” while using the set-up of numerous bishii-quintet comedies. Shouta Tutor is always straight-faced and serious. The Princes are beautiful and stupid. Harpsichord music plays in the background. If the jokes had any real edge to them it might be watchable, but it is obvious that the GTO faction is going to win out. I'm not watching any more and my final rating is C-.
