This one makes you laugh at a grown man's suffering and then, somehow, root for him. Haruaki Abe is not a chosen one, he's a rookie teacher who whimpers around ordinary human kids, and the show drops him in front of a classroom of monsters who treat his terror as a group project. The comedy engine is simple and merciless: the students prank, Abe panics, and the punchline is always his face. What keeps it from being twenty-four episodes of one joke is that Abe keeps showing up, which is the least heroic and most teacherly thing a person can do. Watch it for the running gag of a man learning that fear and caring about your class are not opposites. By the time the ghouls start pranking him because they like him, you'll be as cooked as he is.

Haruaki Abe is a nervous wreck of a teacher who can barely keep his composure around ordinary students. After a rough stint at a public high school forces him to step away from work, he takes a new post at Hyakki Academy, only to learn that everyone there is a youkai and he is the lone human. As the new homeroom teacher, he quickly becomes the favorite target of his mischievous class, whose pranks feed on how easily he scares. The comedy comes from watching a fundamentally timid man try to teach a room full of supernatural creatures. As Haruaki learns more about them and about himself, winning over the unruly group may turn out to be less hopeless than he first feared, and their school days grow livelier.
