It was then followed by Jigoku Sensei Nube NEO and Jigoku Sensei Nube S, and also the spin-offs Reibaishi Izuna and Reibaishi Izuna: Ascension. A short series titled Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube PLUS was released this year between May and June on Shonen Jump+.

A previous TV anime produced by Toei Douga (now Toei Animation) aired from 1996 to 1997. The manga also inspired a 10-episode live-action drama in 2014.
Netflix is streaming the series in Asian territories outside of Japan and China, while REMOW’s It’s Anime YouTube channel is streaming it in “limited territories” that includes the U.S. and Canada. The anime is also streaming on aniverse in Germany, ANIME GENERATION in Italy, Anime Onegai in Latin America, and Chunghwa Telecom’s MOD and Hami Video in the “the Taiwan region” for the first four months.
REMOW describes the main premise of Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube as:
A number of inexplicable phenomena have been plaguing the town of Domori. In order to protect the town’s children, a new homeroom teacher known as “Nube” arrives.
Normally gentle and a bit outgoing, Nube has a secret side: he is, in fact, the only psychic teacher in Japan. Rumor also has it his left hand is possessed by a demon!
Hell’s messenger of justice is here to take on the school’s seven mysteries, ghosts, and evil spirits attacking his students. This occultist action story starts now!
