You can stream Falling High School Girl and Irresponsible Teacher (2023) on Rakuten Viki with a subscription.

Following a failed confession to her first love, female high school student Mikoto Ochiai contemplates jumping off the roof of the school building. However, her thoughts are interrupted by the arrival of Jin Haiba, the physics teacher known for being a slacker and the butt of students' jokes. Calmly, he lights a cigarette and asks for an explanation of the events that led her to this precipice. Rather than dissuade her from killing herself, he makes a request—will she enter into a romance with him before she dies? Together, the two gradually ponder why they should keep living and why they should not love each other in earnest.

After a rejected confession sends Mikoto Ochiai to the school rooftop, a clumsy physics teacher's unexpected presence halts her darkest impulse. This bittersweet pairing finds humor in the awkward friction between a student's existential crisis and a teacher's complete lack of professional discipline.
