The Queen's Classroom (女王の教室 Joō no Kyōshitsu) is a live-action Japanese television drama about Maya Akutsu (Yūki Amami), a new teacher at Hanzaki Elementary School who strives for perfection and punishes her students in unorthodox manners. A 12-year-old student, Kazumi Kanda (Mirai Shida), has been able to withstand her strange punishments so far but the other 23 students begin to fold under the pressure.[1][2]

In the last episode, it recorded the highest viewership rating of 25.3% in Kantō region.[3] On March 17 and 18, 2006, two special prequel episodes were aired,[4] and it recorded the highest rating of 21.2%.[5]
