Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube PLUS Short Manga Series Ends on June 25

Shueisha's MANGA Plus service publishes the manga and describes the story:

The legendary horror manga returns with treasured stories to add to the collection! This spin-off series follows Nube, Hiroshi, Kyoko, and the others as they experience untold stories in Domori. A short serialization to celebrate the new anime adaptation!

The manga launched on Shonen Jump+ on May 14. Shueisha will publish one compiled book volume of the manga on July 4.

Makura and Okano serialized the original 31-volume manga from 1993 to 1999 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The manga has more than 29 million copies in circulation. The manga was later re-released in 2006 as 20 volumes.

Makura and Okano published a one-shot manga titled "Jigoku Sensei Nube: Ōmagatoki" in Grand Jump in April 2014, 15 years after the original manga ended. The duo then launched a sequel manga titled Jigoku Sensei Nube Neo in Grand Jump Premium in May 2014. That manga ended in December 2018, and has 17 volumes. The Jigoku Sensei Nube S manga launched in Saikyō Jump in 2018 and has four total volumes. The manga franchise also includes the 10-volume Reibaishi Izuna and 10-volume Reibaishi Izuna Ascension spinoff manga.

A separate Jigoku Sensei Nube Kai manga series debuted in the June issue of Shueisha's Saikyō Jump magazine on May 2. Makura is credited for the original work and Okano is drawing the manga.

The original manga inspired a television anime series in 1996-1997, a video anime series in 1998-1999, and three anime films in 1996 and 1997. The manga also inspired a live-action series adaptation in 2014.

The manga's new anime adaptation will debut on July 2 with a one-hour broadcast for the first two episodes. The anime will air in two split cours (quarters of a year), with the second cours premiering in January 2026.
