Plot

Haruaki Abe, a shy and inexperienced teacher, leaves behind a challenging period at a public high school to accept a position at Hyakki Academy. Despite his apprehensive nature, he is committed to making progress in his new role. He quickly realizes that his students are supernatural creatures known as youkai, making him the sole human within the school community. As their homeroom instructor, Abe frequently becomes the focus of their mischievous behavior due to his easily startled temperament. Gradually, he gains deeper insight into both the youkai and himself, discovering that handling this spirited class is more fulfilling than anticipated as their school days grow increasingly dynamic.
