Miss Machiko,[1] also known as Maicching Machiko-sensei[2] (まいっちんぐマチコ先生, Maitchingu Machiko-sensei, lit. "The Shame of Miss Machiko") is a manga series written by Takeshi Ebihara. It was serialized in Japan in Shōnen Challenge from May 1980 through February 1982. The individual chapters were collected and published in eight tankōbon volumes by Gakken.

The series was adapted into a 95 episode anime series by Studio Pierrot that aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from October 8, 1981 to October 6, 1983. It was also adapted into four live-action OVAs, and two full-length live-action films. The anime was licensed for online streaming by Discotek Media in 2016,[3] which would later turn to full rights in 2020.[4]
