Gokusen, episode 11

Yamaguchi is in a good mood. The day had been going well, but she bends over to pick up some manga and her pants split.

Things are going well for her students, either. Never buy a bunch of food at one time because someone's going to run into you and that's just what happens. Now they are all taking their revenge.

She goes with the other two women teachers to buy some clothes and sees a mental image of herself in a new top. While she's shopping she gets a call form the head teacher telling her some of her students are being held by the police.

They get to school and there's a ton of police and reporters around.

It turns out the guy they jumped was a wanted felon.

Her detective friend wants her to take part in a news conference with her heroic students.

Kumai's father brings in some food and they end up getting into an argument.

The guys were supposed to take a copy of the news conference for Yamaguchi but they messed up and got the wrong channel.

Yamaguchi is going to be interviewed by a magazine and everyone is jealous.

She acts totally unnatural. When they ask her students what they think of her it doesn't go like she planned.

It's a 24-hour interview and the principal points out that they could discover her yakuza roots.

The reporters follow her to her home.

Kuma calls her early the next morning, something about his father. His father had a heart attack and he died.

Kuma is missing, his mother is having a very, very hard time running the restaurant, and all of Yamaguchi's students are worried about Kuma, Sawada asking what can he do himself to help.

Yamaguchi finds Kuma being beaten up (actually, though, he's the one who started the fight.) She tries to apologize for Kuma but the guys attack her. Ten seconds later they're all on the ground.

She takes an injured Kuma to see that the other guys are helping out at the restaurant.

She helps out at the restaurant. All hell is going to break loose, though, because the interview article has a shot of her hitting the guys who were attacking Kuma.
