Haga Ineko stopped being a school teacher because she was about to get married. When she is suddenly dumped by her to-be husband, she loses her way and starts drinking. One day, an old friend approaches with a job offer. She would be a substitute teacher in a class in which several teachers gave up without an apparent reason. She reluctantly takes the job only to discover that there are several brutal bullying cases inside the class. Even she eventually starts being anonymously threatened due to her opposing posture against such cases. She now has to identify and reprimand them while at the same time protecting weaker students. The word "Hagane" on the title is a nickname which comes from Haga (her surname) and Ne (from Ineko, her name), but is actually a pun on the actual word "hagane" (which means steel, denoting how she must be in order to resist as a teacher).

Reviews
I liked that she was not just a teacher but had a little focus on her personal life as well, so it's not just about the children and the classroom. However the main focus still falls on them and the cases are strongly focusing on common issues/problems in the classroom, parenting mistakes and childhood problems. Some of the episodes are very touching and the role of the teacher is very well played and is according to real life expectations (=great patience). Overall I enjoyed the show very much and I definitely will watch the second season as soon as I can.
It might seem to be too short because of the seven episodes but I didn't feel missed out on anything. Sure there is place for more but that's true for all good shows!
