Spin-off

Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube (地獄先生ぬ〜べ〜, Jigoku Sensei Nūbē) is a Japanese manga series written by Shō Makura and illustrated by Takeshi Okano. It was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from August 1993 to May 1999, with its chapters collected in 31 tankōbon volumes. The series follows Meisuke Nueno, aka Nūbē, the homeroom teacher for Class 5–3 at Dōmori Elementary. More than a teacher, however, he is a skilled exorcist, protecting the town of Dōmori from supernatural threats with strength borrowed from a powerful demon sealed in his left hand—a technique he calls the Demon's Hand. A 49-episode anime television series by Toei Animation was broadcast on TV Asahi from April 1996 to August 1997. Three movies and three original video animation (OVA) episodes were released. A new anime adaptation is set to premiere in 2025.

A spin-off story for Izuna Hazuki the itako-girl, Reibaishi Izuna: The Spiritual Medium, was serialized in Oh Super Jump and later in Super Jump from July 2007 to October 2011. A sequel to the spin-off, titled Reibaishi Izuna: Ascension was published from November 2011 to June 2016. In May 2014, a direct manga sequel has started with the premise of ten years having passed, with Kyoko becoming a teacher at the Dōmori Elementary and Nūbē returning to the school from Kyushu. The manga finished in December 2018. A sequel titled Jigoku Sensei Nūbē S was published in Saikyō Jump from August 2018 to April 2021.

By July 2024, the overall manga franchise had over 29 million copies in circulation.

Plot

[edit]
Main article: List of Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube characters

What seems like a normal day at Dōmori Elementary is disrupted by some weird phenomenon, usually targeting one of Nūbē's own students. Nūbē is forced into action, most often using the power of the Demon's Hand to assist in solving the problem, but occasionally the solution lies either in another of his spiritual weapons, or somehow reasoning with or appeasing the threatening entity. By the end, things always seem to get back to normal, with Nūbē and his students having learned something from the experience. Most of the series retains an episodic formula, forgoing an overarching storyline in favor of more character-driven action, although there are several recurring antagonists throughout, as well as some longer story arcs towards the end of the series.
