    A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School!

    This is one of those series where the titles tells you all you need to know. After things didn't go well for young teacher Haruaki Abe in a regular high school he has found new job teaching in the private Hyakki Academy... it isn't like other schools; all the students and the other staff are youkai, supernatural beings. At first they enjoy taking advantage of his nervous nature but gradually, as they get to know each other things improve.

    I thought this was a fun series, which has plenty of good characters and provides a good number of laughs. There is some drama but it is clear from early on that this is primarily a comedy series. The variety of youkai is enjoyable and their personalities make them feel quite human, and thus relatable, despite their appearances. Overall I'd say that while this may not be a must see it is worth watching if you want a break from the endless isekai series that seem to dominate these days but still like the supernatural.

    These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
