Hell Teacher: Cast, production, and plot

Ryotaro Okiayu will reprise his role as the protagonist Meisuke Nueno, or ‘Nube,’ in the new Hell Teacher anime. This is in continuation of his portrayal from the earlier anime adaptation. In addition to Okiayu’s return, an audition campaign has been launched for children to voice and have their likenesses animated as students in the series.

The protagonist, Nube, is a psychic teacher endowed with a demon hand, which he uses to protect his students from danger. Known for his dedication and bravery, Nube is also depicted with a playful and clumsy side.

Hell Teacher’s storyline centers on Nube’s efforts to protect his students from malevolent spirits and monsters, incorporating Japanese mythology and folklore. The original manga, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1993 to 1999, spans 31 volumes and has sold over 29 million copies.

It became renowned for its integration of school ghost stories and urban legends, resonating with readers across generations. The new adaptation aims to capture the manga’s essence while bringing a fresh perspective to its narrative.
