# A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School!

A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School! (Japanese: 妖怪学校の先生はじめました！, Hepburn: Yōkai Gakkō no Sensei Hajimemashita!) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Mai Tanaka. It began serialization in Square Enix's Monthly GFantasy magazine in November 2014. An anime television series adaptation produced by Satelight premiered in October 2024.

## Plot

Following a bad experience teaching at a public high school that resulted in a break from working, crybaby and timid novice teacher Haruaki Abe eagerly takes up a new job at Hyakki Academy. Despite his cowardice, the novice teacher is motivated to do better this time around. However, his mind quickly changes when he finds out that everyone at the school is actually a supernatural being known as a youkai, leaving him glaringly out of place as the only human around. Facing his class as its new homeroom teacher, Abe immediately becomes a target for the students' antics due to his quick-to-scare nature. Though as the man starts to learn more about the creatures, as well as himself, getting along with the unruly group might not be as hard as he originally thought as their school lives begin to get more vibrant.
