Plot

Ishida & Asakura focuses on the title characters—the stoic Ishida and the lecherous Asakura—and the bizarre students and teachers that populate their high school. Asakura is obsessed with curvaceous women and dreams of becoming a teacher in order to be surrounded by attractive girls all day. Ishida dreams of running a flower shop together with Asakura after they finish high school, and appears to have strong homosexual feelings for his best friend, although this is always played for laughs.

Characters

[3]
  • He is the main character of the story, a high school student who dreams of becoming a teacher. However, his motives are far from pure, as Asakura is obsessed with breasts and wishes to become a teacher so he can constantly be surrounded by attractive female students. Asakura has an afro and speaks with a slight stutter. In class, there is constant competition for Asakura's attention between his best friend Ishida and fellow student Yamada.
    [4]
  • Asakura's best friend is a tall and stoic young man who speaks in a strong, serious tone. He dreams of opening a flower shop with Asakura after they graduate high school, and reacts violently whenever Yamada tries to get Asakura's attention. Because of his constant blushing whenever he speaks to Asakura, it is assumed that he has homosexual feelings for his best friend.
    [5]
  • Yamada is a classmate of Ishida and Asakura, with the appearance of a stereotypical nerd, wearing thick glasses and having prominent buck-teeth. Yamada dreams of opening a bookstore with Asakura, but Ishida violently "kills" him in a slapstick fashion every time the subject is brought up; Yamada will always appear unharmed in the next episode. He is a mechanical genius and once built a robot version of himself to fight Ishida.

      1. IshidaAndAsakura is a wild ride. You’ve met Ishida (Joshua Waters), now meet our Asakura. We needed someone who could play the straight man, vocally and sort of literally, and we decided to go with @LordAzria (Cole Feuchter)! #AscendentAnimation #YTE #BL https://t.co/wOsgQm84o1

      1. IshidaAndAsakura follows to high school boys and their goals to succeed after graduation. Playing one half of our two “heroes” is none other than @TunnelVa! This is his first anime role and he knocks it out of the park as Ishida! #AscendentAnimation #YTE #BL https://t.co/hA1IruBBOy

      1. IshidaAndAsakura has two leads who are a part of the #LGBT community, which is important to me as a director to make sure representation matters. Continuing on, we have our unfortunate buck toothed foil to our duo, Yamada, who will be played by @Warkythechocobo #Ascendent #YTE https://t.co/HS5Nv0PUHq
