The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei anime has received a trailer, a new key visual, and an April 7 JST premiere date.
Other reveals include the opening theme song “She Is Now In The Labyrinth” (“Kanojo wa Ima, Meikan no Naka.”) by HoneyWorks feat Kaf and the casting of Mitsuru Miyamoto and Kaoru Sakura as Soichiro Enokizu and Yukie, respectively.
The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei is based on the school-set mystery manga by Aki Shimizu, which is set before Natsuhiko Kyougoku’s Hyakki Yakou novel series. The anime’s premise is described as:
This story takes place before the exorcist Kyogokudo opened up a used bookstore…
Our setting is in Tokyo in 1948, just right after the war.
Kanna Kusakabe had just become a second-year at a high school when she met the new language teacher, Akihiko Chuzenji.
Mysterious supernatural things keep happening around Kanna. Once again today, Kanna is going to open the doors to the library prep room to seek help from the surly Chuzenji-sensei who is waiting inside.
A high school supernatural mystery featuring the unlikely duo between a teacher and a high school girl is about to begin!
The manga started in October 2019 in Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge and has 10 tankoubon volumes as of October 2024.
