"Laid-Back Camp△" is a popular series that depicts the relaxed daily lives and relaxed camping trips of high school girls who love camping. One popular character in this anime who made a strong impact from her first appearance is Ms. Toba. At first glance, she appears to be a kind and gentle beautiful teacher, but Ms. Toba has a strong "other side." We will introduce you to the charm of Ms. Toba who has two faces.

She is the history teacher at Motosu High School, where Nadeshiko and her friends attend. Her real name is "Minami Toba." She is a beautiful woman with narrow eyes and a very kind personality, and is a very popular teacher who is often greeted by students. Although she takes off her glasses at school, she usually wears them. She is also a substitute teacher who was suddenly brought in after Tahara-sensei, the history teacher who had been her predecessor, went on maternity leave.
What is Toba-sensei's secret side?
A big fan of alcohol

Toba-sensei is said to be beautiful at school, but she is actually a heavy drinker and secretly enjoys drinking every night while watching foreign dramas. She is a regular at the liquor store where Chiaki works part-time, and buys a six-pack of beer (500ml at that) every day. When she went camping with the Outdoor Activities Club, she started drinking as soon as she arrived at the campsite. She was given the nickname "Gubi-nee".
She has bad drinking habits

Toba-sensei drinks a fair amount of alcohol, but he drinks until he loses his memory, and when he's drunk, he offers alcohol to underage Nadeshiko and the others, so his drinking habits are not good. Even though he is a teacher, he becomes indiscriminate when he is drunk, wondering if it is okay to bring non-alcoholic beer to school.

In fact, Nadeshiko and Rin met the teacher before he was assigned to the school. She was a drunk woman who had been camping next to Nadeshiko and her friends during their Lake Shioren camp. This was before she was assigned to the school, and they never imagined they would end up in a teacher-student relationship. After she was assigned to the school, Nadeshiko, who had a keen sense of intuition, had a sense of déjà vu from the moment she met the teacher.
Becoming the advisor of the Outdoor Club

I first met the Outdoor Club when I found them having a bonfire in the schoolyard and called out to them. I was supposed to have warned them about having a bonfire, but Mr. Omachi, the advisor of the mountaineering club, said to me, "What if Mr. Toba became the coach?" and I ended up becoming the advisor of the Outdoor Club.
Even Toba Sensei is a real teacher!

Normally, he is a kind teacher, but he also scolds the Outdoor Club for having a bonfire in the schoolyard (even though they had permission), and scolds Chiaki and her friends for going on a dangerous winter camp by themselves without proper equipment or preparation and nearly freezing to death. But he's a good teacher who follows up afterwards.

He went camping with the Outdoor Club on Christmas, and on New Year's Day, he drove his car early in the morning for Chiaki and Aoi, who wanted to see the first sunrise of the year. Although he was reluctant to take on the role of advisor, he is cooperative with the Outdoor Club's activities. Also, as mentioned above, he is a teacher who cares about his students, such as picking up Chiaki and her friends late at night when they were freezing during winter camping.
Is Toba-sensei's sister a good-looking guy?

There was someone who was camping with the teacher at Lake Shioren, and at first Nadeshiko and the others thought it was the teacher's boyfriend. However, the teacher reveals that it is his sister. Apparently, he is often mistaken for a real man. His appearance is androgynous and cool, and just by listening to his voice, it is impossible to tell if he is male or female. By the way, the outdoor activities are the sister's hobby, and the teacher often goes camping with her.
I can't wait to see what Toba-sensei does next!

Mr. Toba is a kind and caring teacher who is also a heavy drinker. Once she gets drunk, she becomes a troublemaker. However, she also has a strong teacher-like side and enjoys camping with the members of the Outdoor Activities Circle, so she is more like a reliable older sister to the Outdoor Activities Circle than an advisor. Recently, he has been helping to find and plan the next campsite for the Outdoor Club, so I think he will be making more appearances in the future. I'm curious to see how he will be involved with the Outdoor Club.
