Japanese social media has a new super-crush and her name is Ellen Baker. A Twitter user suggested that this fictional English teacher from Boston (by way of a New Horizon middle school English text) is wicked cute, and almost 35 thousand retweets suggests that the masses wholeheartedly agree. In fact it looks like the art really upped its game across the board in the book. It might even be so good that no one'll deface the pages.

Others suggested that their text book casts weren't too bad either

and, of course, there's already Ellen Baker fanart
