I never really figured this out. Is Sakurai-sensei always super-uncomfortable
around people? Or is she nervous? Usually sweat drops jumping off someone is a
vfx for surprise, but I don't think this is the case.

What's up with those crazy sweat drop novas all the time?

Why is Sakurai-sensei always sweating like a sprinkler?


No matter who Sakurai-sensei is talking to (other teachers, students, etc) she
has those panic bubbles/sweat drops around her.

I took this to mean she's just a naturally nervous person instead of being
uncomfortable around people. I can't think of anything in the show that
implied she was uncomfortable around others since she was always willing to
help and talk.

It's probably just an exaggeration of her being nervous and/or shy. As her
personality bio on the [Nichijou
Wikia](http://nichijou.wikia.com/wiki/Izumi_Sakurai) says, "Izumi is a very
nice young woman, but she is usually very shy, flustered, and easily
frightened."

This is similar to the [Overly Nervous Flop
Sweat](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OverlyNervousFlopSweat)
trope, though that page doesn't have a section for anime or manga.
