A teacher who talks to ghosts every day but can't figure out how to exist in the living world is comedy written by someone who understands that the funniest people are the ones completely blind to themselves. Kibayashi knows the afterlife inside out. She knows nothing about basic human interaction, social cues, or why students find her terrifying instead of reassuring. The show lives in that gap, where supernatural competence meets everyday incompetence, and watches her fail upward through both worlds without ever noticing the contradiction. It's short-form comedy that doesn't waste time, each episode runs the joke to its logical end and stops. If you've ever wanted a show about someone who is genuinely good at their job yet impossibly bad at living, this one knows exactly what it's doing.
Kibayashi Juri is a schoolteacher with an unusual pastime: she talks with the dead, and her real talent lies in exorcising spirits. The other world holds no secrets for her, yet the ordinary world of the living leaves her completely lost. Adapted from Matsumoto Hidekichi's four-panel manga, this supernatural comedy runs as a short-format TV series of 22 episodes, airing in 2011 as part of NTV's yuruani? programme.
