Doki Doki School Hours (せんせいのお時間 Sensei no Ojikan: Doki Doki School Hours?) is a four panel manga series and anime series by Tamami Momose.
Sensei no Ojikan was serialised in Bamboo Comics from 1997, published by Takeshobō. A 13 episode anime TV series adaptation was created by J.C.STAFF and aired on TV Tokyo from April 4, 2004 to June 27, 2004.
The series is centered on 27-year-old homeroom teacher Mika Suzuki (who only looks about half her age) and the eccentric and colorful students of her class. The anime, coming three years after J.C.STAFF had success with Azumanga Daioh, inherits a lot stylisticly from that series, however the original manga predates Azumanga Daioh by two years. Additionally, before the recent anime incarnation, the manga spawned a series of drama CDs.
The series has been licensed for release in North America by Geneon.
