Buff Mame isn't real.

Buff Mame can't hurt you.

Buff Mame:

However, if Buff Mame can't hurt, why is Sano on the verge of death?

(and why is Mujina blushing?)

[incorrect-terrified-teacher]

Nyuudou: The retirement age needs to be lowered to 17 years old.

Nyuudou: I’ve had enough.

yohaji anime twitter is hiding nyuudou from me cuz they know hes the one i want to see most

[lovesitcomsandgaystuffs]

Oh, I just noticed that Ame refers to Renren by copying the same way the others call him. Utagawa and the others call him Nyuudou, he calls him Nyuudou.

Renren's father calls him Rensuke, Ame calls him Rensuke too.

He probably said you three because he didn't know tf their names were  😭

Question, in the scene where Ame is pretending to be Haru in Renren's arc and talks about if they ever considered thinking about what Renren really wants, does he use his usual way of speaking with his accent or does he imitate Haru's way of speaking?

he does talk in standard japanese here as far as i can tell!

compared to here and afterwards where its very clearly his accent

doylist reason is probably so it doesnt give up the game too early

Mandragora Investigation Report 10 - Nyuudou Rensuke

[certified-boyliker]

Despite what my sister may think, I don't enjoy being a liar, so,

Here is the greatest manga that you've never heard of:

A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School (JP: Youkkai Gakkou No Sensei Hajimemashita)

So, I'm not one to make too many essays or go on and ramble about something online, however, this series is just not popular enough in my opinion.

(everything will be under the cut, don't wanna bother people! and warning, this is long.)

So, what is A Terrifed Teacher At Ghoul School?

Terrified Teach (what I shall be calling it) is a supernatural, slice of life, and comedy manga created by Mai Tanaka. The story revolves around a young man named Haruaki Abe who is a cowardly man obsessed with sailor uniforms (worry not! he really just likes the uniforms and admiring them).

He has dreams of being a teacher, however, at his first teaching job, he ran out withing a short amount of time. He took a year off from finding anymore jobs, until he's approached by the principal of a high school and is asked to be the new Japanese Literature Teacher. He accepts, and is soon whisked away to Hyakki Academy.

Something he doesn't realize is that Hyakki Academy is not a school for humans, rather it is a school for youkai, and features a wide range of youkai that attend and teach at the school. And while he starts working at the school, he also learned that he has anti-youkai powers that can siphon out a youkai's spirit energy.

He spends his time at Hyakki Academy trying to become more confident and hone his anti-youkai powers. He also manages to befriend many of his students and some of the teachers at the school.

I managed to make that description without any spoilers, everything I just explained (minus the befriending) is gone over in the first chapter.

Why are you advertising this manga?

I love this manga! And, there are three main reasons I love it:

The Characters and Relationships

The Arcs and Storylines

The Way Mai Tanaka Writes the Story

And so let's get into these reasons

The Characters and Relationships!

So, we start with probably the biggest factor to comedy and slice of life series, the characters and how they interact with each other.

When it comes to Haruaki, it took a while for anyone to become friendly with him or fond of him. The only people who seemingly got close with him quickly were Maizuka Mamekichi and Koutarou Hijita (though, Hijita was a dick to him at first).

Aside from Haruaki, our major characters include:

Sano Mikoto: A rather sadistic and secretive young man. He dislikes showing affection and tends to be embarrassed when complimenting Haruaki

Mamekichi Maizuka: A cheeky young ma who likes to be carried. He tries to seem very cute and innocent, however, he has a clear dark side, likely due to how his family is.

Hijita Koutarou: He is a lazy person, and dislikes doing any home/classwork. He always tries to find ways to look at girls, however is usually stopped.

Zashiki Beniko: A shut-in who has a way with technology. She likes playing video games and didn't go into class for a long period of time due to playing video games.

Tamao Akisame: A young man who isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. However, with Haruaki's help, he tries to get better at his exams and his understanding of Japanese and literature.

Nyuudou Rensuke: A smart young man, also hides his past and family situation. He tends to be very kind and a bit of a mentor to his classmates, however, he can get angry and violent easily.

Utagawa Kuniko: A kind and sweet young woman. She is also smart, and works with Nyuudou to lead the class. She tries to aid typically the girls in the class in various things

Miki Rintarou: The youkai-studies teacher, and a terrible drunkard. He also hides his family situation and tends to keep himself far from other people.

Hatanaka Izuna: The spookology teacher and discipline teacher. He tries to keep a cool head, however, has a shorter and more explosive fuse than Nyuudou, due to him being a former delinquent.

The Prinicpal: The principal of the school, with a very secretive past. Most of the teachers are unsure why he decided to hire Haruaki in the first place, and has a dislike of some of his staff for destroying his school... various times.

And the list goes on with characters who aren't major throughout the series, but are important in certain arcs and parts.

When it comes to friendships, they tend to be between characters who have known each other for a while or have some sort of connection.

The friendships that the series starts with and develops are:

Sano - Mame: Sano is a person who adores small animals, and especially seems to like tanukis. Sano likes carrying around Mame and hates it whenever someone injures or insults him, being quick to anger.

Hijita - Beniko: Hijita and Beniko are childhood friends, and Hijita is the person who got Beniko into video games and he blames himself for her becoming a shut in.

Sano - Mame - Beniko - Hijita: They often hang out together on this off days. They also scheme together, though Sano tries to leave himself out of it and tries to pull Mame out of it too

Nyuudou - Tamao: They're best friends. Tamao initially wants to be Nyuudou's cat when they grow up, though, he knows Nyuudou would find this stupid.

Nyuudou - Utagawa: They're both the class representatives and have great chemistry when it comes to them working together.

Hatanaka - Haruaki - Miki: Hatanaka and Miki were friends in high school and they are also the only teachers who aren't afraid of Haruaki and his anti-youkai powers.

Tanaka does an incredible job at showing the relationships between the characters and developing the relationships, especially when it comes to Haruaki and his students, like Sano and Nyuudou. And the way she crafts the characters to fit so perfectly in the series and to make their actions and goals seem so believable and to make the reader wonder about what one character said in an early chapter and make a full arc/set of chapters surrounding it.

2. The Arcs and Storylines

I have had a debate about my sister as to what constitutes as an "arc" compared to "a set of chapters focused on something", so I shall be using my definition as an arc.

To say the exact amount of how many arcs there are would be impossible, but there are a few major ones, so, I'll say there about 5-7 arcs in this series, though, most are just in between/before the very major, plot heavy arcs.

And, like I said in the previous part, many arcs are callbacks to something a character had said in a previous chapter. Not only that, but these arcs and chapters and the characters that are important to the arcs change after them and it's noticeable and realistic.

Also, do not be fooled by the first few chapters of this series, as lighthearted and funny and sweet as they can be, this series will rip your heart out when it comes to some of the major arcs, especially later in the series.

She also makes the arcs make sense and sometimes when referencing back to some of the chapters, she even puts little notes as to which chapter she references to.

3. The Way Mai Tanaka Writes the Story

This was clear and obvious in the last part, but I adore the way Mai Tanaka writes the characters and the story.

When it comes to seeing character change like with Sano or Haruaki, when you re-read the series and see how they acted at the beginning compared to how they act in more recent chapters, there's a clear and obvious development in the way they act to their friends and how they think things through when it comes to different situation.

The way that she foreshadows future arcs is beautiful and it makes the reader think "Oh! I wonder what this means and what will happen here!" especially when you catch on to her foreshadowing and makes you wonder and wonder "What will happen here?!" and "Where will she go with this?!"

As a former BNHA fan and as someone who did this himself, I dislike it when things seem to made up on the fly. Of course, not everything in a series will be meticulously planned out for more authors and artists, that's a hard thing to do. It's not easy planning like 20-30 chapters in the future when you make a scene with some of your characters.

However, an author shouldn't just make things up on the fly for the majority of the series and draw it out longer than one might think it should. And Mai Tanaka does a good job at pacing her series, especially since it is a comedy and slice of life, which one can get away with making it a bit longer than usual than other types of genres, but even so, she made 38 chapters before hitting summer break with her characters. She has paced this story beautifully, and I am all here for it!

Now, I wrote this entire essay with my laptop at too low of health and I have not that much more to say, so I leave you all with this essay, and my suggestion:

A Terrified Teacher At Ghoul School Episode 12 Review - The Lost Teacher

Just a head’s up, this is the last episode of the first half of the show. The show has two cours back-to-back, so the rest of the season will be aired in Winter 2025. There won’t be an episode next Tuesday, December 31 due to it being New Year’s Eve. The second half will resume January 7 with a new opening and ending!

Anyways, it can’t be a Yohaji episode without Haruaki getting into some kind of trouble wherever he goes. This time, he gets lost while Class 2-3 is on a field trip to Tokyo. This guy’s sense of direction needs to be studied alongside his voice actor’s lungs. Anyways, this episode is mainly Haruaki and Class 2-3 trying to find and reunite with each other as the kids split up in all directions while Haruaki himself gets help from an unlikely stranger.

This episode introduces Ebisu, but he never introduces his name to Haruaki. However, you can tell that this man is Sano’s brother as he appeared in the flashback in the previous episode. Nine years later, he still has disdain for youkai. He seems intrigued by Haruaki as he knows he’s a human teacher at Hyakki Academy and he also knows that Sano is attached to him (not that Sano will ever admit that). I wonder how he knows all about this; he’s probably stalking his brother or something… Also, Ebisu is not a youkai, which means that Sano isn’t one either—Sano not being a youkai was established back in the first episode where the Yakubyougami wasn’t in Haruaki’s encyclopedia and that he wasn’t affected by Yanagida’s perfume that he sprayed on Momoyama back in episode 8.

Anyways, it’s interesting to see the differences Ebisu and Haruaki have when it comes to youkai. Ebisu hates them but keeps it a secret, while Haruaki is afraid of them, but keeps persevering because he’s kind and wants to do his best as a teacher to guide his students, youkai or not. That’s why Haruaki went to save the little Zashiki-warashi trapped in the fire despite the fact that he doesn’t have to. He wants to do it because it’s both the right thing to do and that he cares a lot about youkai. The little girl could be a future student of his in the future, which means that Haruaki still imagines himself teaching at Hyakki Academy years from now, which is honestly massive character development for him. The way Haruaki is a misfortunate magnet, yet is managed to be saved by an amulet given to him by the God of Misfortune feels like some sort of Uno Reverse card of sorts.

It’s sweet that Class 2-3 didn’t rejoice over losing their teacher and doing whatever they want and took the time to look for him, even if meant costing them their trip. I know for a fact that not having a teacher around is a student’s biggest joy and that realistically, students would be happy to do whatever they want without teacher supervision, so it’s nice that these kids aren’t about that. They split into different groups and search different areas to look for their teacher. Youkai students function a bit differently when in human territory; they have their own set of rules implemented too like humanoid youkai need to hide their non-human features like how Nyuudou needs to wear a mask despite looking mostly human while the non-human looking youkai have to be disguised as objects or mascots like how Yanagida is disguised as a pennant and Daisy and Marilyn are mascots following Utagawa around. Though, the kids do get to explore Tokyo while searching for their teacher. Though, Hijita spends his day searching the sewers, which keeps the running gag of him getting the short end of the stick in situations at times.

Though, there is a little detail that there are youkai living in Tokyo as Akira and Yamazaki disguised as him are going to a cafe they visit every six months that have actual youkai in them. And the rules of youkai are a little odd when some are doing their magic out in the open without being concealed like how Yamazaki is showing off his wrappings while there are people around. I also find that there is an air patrol youkai to be hilarious.

My only gripe is that this episode actually removes a little detail that was in the manga regarding Fuji and another character, but it makes sense because that other character hasn’t been fully introduced into the story yet. In fact, they skipped that chapter, but given what I’m seeing in the second cour’s trailer, maybe he’ll finally get that spotlight.

If I had a nickel for every media that has Ryota Osaka and Ryohei Kimura in it together, I’d be a millionaire by now because it’s happened so often, whether they be characters that have interacted with each other or not. Like I mentioned in my review of the previous episode, Kimura and Osaka have been in several media together where they voice characters that have a lot of chemistry like Haikyuu with Bokuto and Akaashi, Tales of Zestiria as Sorey and Mikleo and now Yohaji with Ebisu and Haruaki. This makes a voice actor fan like me happy. Keep at it—keep casting these two together!

Also, the trailer for the second cour is on Youtube if you want to watch it! I’ve never heard of Sou before, but there are a lot of people excited for him singing the second opening. I honestly can’t wait to see what the second half of the show will bring in terms of what they’ll animate and how it’s presented. Let me know your thoughts on this episode!

[incorrect-terrified-teacher]

some yohaji memes

[incorrect-terrified-teacher]

Haruaki: You guys are reading hamlet, right? What’s one of the recurring themes in Hamlet?

Kuniko: Oh, Oooh, Ooooooh, call on me! Betrayal

Haruaki: Very good, very good. Ok, now who can give me a good example of betrayal?

Rensuke: Oh! Um, when Hamlet sends Rosencrantz and Guildstern on a boat to die.

Haruaki: Exactly- Hamlet betrays his friends.

Hijita: Which is super fucked up because only a fucking dickhole betrays his friends

Beniko: Well, maybe he wouldn’t if his friends weren’t a bunch of selfish bitches who had already betrayed his girlfriend in the first place.

Haruaki: That’s mostly right! Rosencrantz and Guildstern were going to betray hamlet first.

Fuji: Well maybe if Hamlet’s girlfriend had known her place instead of being a whiny little bitch, everything wouldn’t be so fucked up!

Beniko: Well maybe if Rosencrantz and Guildstern didn’t tried to set up two dickholes to make love with the girl that he was in love with like two skanky little cock wranglers, they wouldn’t have got put on that fucking boat!

Fuji: That doesn’t mean that Hamlet should go attempt to blow up an entire fucking school and almost ruin fucking everything!

Mame: And maybe if people would have chilled the fuck out, Ophelia wouldn’t felt like she had to jump off of a goddamn bridge!

Haruaki: Ok, I think we moved a bit off topic, but I loved the energy, guys! Love the energy.

Rensuke: What page does the school bombing attempt happen on?

Kuniko: Don'tworry, Ren-kun. Apparently, today is not going to be a learning day.

A Terrified Teacher At Ghoul School Episode 8 Review - Girls' Love Affairs

It’s nice to get some spotlight on the female students that aren’t Beniko for once. Class 2-3 has a lot of students, but there are more males than females. I’m glad that they’re able to shine, even if their focus is mainly on romance. Despite the topic of love, the episode does deliver on the comedy.

Also, Amaaki makes another appearance as he decides to be Haruaki for a day. I can’t believe he actually went to Hyakki Island and even chloroformed his own brother to swap places with him. By the way, the chloroform scene is anime original and isn’t present in the manga. You’re probably wondering what his purpose in this episode is since he bails out halfway after realizing how good of a teacher Haru really is. It’s because Koizumi, the Rokurobi, develops a small crush on him despite thinking he’s Haruaki. The difference between Ame and Haru is that Ame is actually a naturally lady charmer. He did make Beniko swoon a bit back in Episode 5 and now Koizumi is swooning over him. Too bad he’s a brocon. However, the author, Mai Tanaka, did post on her official X page that she is interested in making a Koizumi arc for the manga that features Ame, so their little subplot might continue in the future. I think the best part about the Ame portion is that the way he’s not reacting to a sailor uniform caused the class to believe an apocalypse was coming.

Next girl in the spotlight is Momoyama who developed a crush on Sano after he gave her his handkerchief to wipe off Hijita’s vomit during Sports Day. Momoyama is cute and hilarious. She’s a futakuchi-onna meaning that she has a mouth behind her head. While Momoyama herself is timid and doesn’t talk much, her second mouth is crude as heck. It’s funny how she would gag the other mouth if she needs to talk normally. I do wonder if her second mouth speaks her inner thoughts, but through a crude way. Momoyama is hilarious because she makes some of the funniest expressions throughout the episode.

Also, this episode also highlights how much of a menace Yanagida is. In the first part of the episode, he tries to cure Haru’s amnesia, an excuse Sano made just to not reveal Ame’s identity, but Sano uses it on him, which causes him to melt into a puddle and then got flushed. He also then creates more chaos when he creates perfume and sprays it on Momoyama, causing the male students and teachers to fall in love with her. It doesn’t work on Haruaki because he’s a human and on Nyuudou and Yanagida because they don’t have noses. It also doesn’t work on Sano because he’s not a youkai. I feel like Yanagida and Takahashi are competing to see who is Yohaji’s craziest character.

It was nice to see Momoyama get a nice moment with Sano. I don’t ship these two, but it was a cute moment when he carried her and jumped down to the water tank. I felt bad for her because what she thought was a handkerchief was actually panties. Damn, I can’t believe she didn’t double check where she was going. That gotta be second-hand embarrassment of the century.

I did like the third part of the episode where the class goes to the public bath. Why I like it is because it does a reverse trope where the girls try to peek at the boys rather than having the boys peek at the girls, which you’d see in most manga or anime. Mai Tanaka is a person of culture. It was hilarious that there was a double context of Haruaki being “big” down there, but they were talking about feet. Utagawa got the “pleasure” of accidentally unleashing her youkai form to glance over at the boys’ side, making her get an eyeful of everyone and called it a ‘safari park’. The way the boys started reacted like girls was hilarious.

A lot of the girls’ voice actresses are rookies aside from Beniko (voiced by Akari Kito), Renjou (voiced by Nanako Mori) and Koizumi (voiced by Miyuri Shimabukuro), so I can’t really say much about them. I do like Momoyama’s voice the most with the way she can be meek but also boorish with how vulgar her second mouth is.

I honestly can’t wait to see what Yohaji has in store for future episodes. If you’re a manga reader, the manga is almost done adapting the first four volumes. Since there are 24 episodes, I do wonder how much they’ll be adapting. This episode adapted three separate chapters into one. What are your thoughts about this episode?

A Terrified Teacher At Ghoul School Episode 2 Review - Physical Exam Madness

Oh, I like this episode a lot more than the first one! It flowed so much better and the gags are a lot funnier! The entire first half mainly revolved around the students’ physical exams and how excruciating youkais can be when needed to be examined. The second half revolved around the aftermath of the physical exams and how Haruaki has to be punished for breaking the principal’s windows. It’s nice seeing Haruaki spending time with his fellow teachers and his students as well!

The episode introduces several new adult characters. We have fellow teachers Miki and Hatanaka. Miki is an ogre youkai and Hatanaka is a Kamaitachi, or a scythe weasel youkai. Miki is very chill while Hatanaka is very stern; he’s the one hounding Haruaki to do various tasks during the physical examinations like helping Nyuudou with his eye examination which consists of him having to call someone in Tokyo because of how far Nyuudou can see. Another one of his tasks is to gather Tamao and Maizuka as animal youkai need to have special injections conducted by Takahashi, a doctor specializing in youkai treatment. I’m not sure if he is a youkai himself, he probably is as this is a youkai island. Anyways, Takahashi is a freak and I love how he just has a giant syringe in tow. What the heck. Also, poor Nezumi and Hatanaka; they’re teachers but also had to get injections in their animal forms alongside Tamao and Maizuka. The last of the major tasks is to measure Oota, who is a Daidarabocchi, which is some kind of titan youkai. However, climbing Oota is a task in itself. This doesn’t make sense because why can’t he just ask Oota to lift him up? Then again, Sano was also climbing him, so I guess that’s normal for him? Anyways, the fact that climbing Oota is a feat in itself and that he’s 130 meters tall. Still, it makes no sense that Haruaki had to climb Oota when the second half revealed that he knows how to be human-sized. What the heck? Regardless, it was still funny with how Sano caught him by the ahoge and both Sano and Haruaki were blown away by Oota’s sneezing, which then caused them to crash into the principal’s office which then transitions to the second half of the episode. Like I said, this was a nice episode to help get to know the other teachers and more of the students.

The second half was hilarious too! As punishment for breaking the window, Haruaki and several of his students are sent to clean the school pool which has been abandoned for a while. The students didn’t even know they had a school pool. It makes sense because it’s filled with miasma-like substance. I wonder what’s in that water because when Hijita fell in, he got yassified the heck to the point of being unrecognizable. Miasma? More like Mi-yass-ma. Apparently, the pool is home to Kappa and a human faced fish Youkai. The kappas tried to kidnap Maizuka, which got him scared because he didn’t want to be yassified like Hijita, which then causes Sano to rescue him. This was the scariest Sano has been; he likes Maizuka’s small size. I do wonder what would happen if Maizuka ever became taller. Would he become devastated? The human-faced fish caught me by surprise because I didn’t expect that blob face on it at all. Fortunately, Oota was able to catch him. It turns out that the fish youkai is very weak-willed, as Haruaki pointed out. Unfortunately, Oota was standing in the miasma water, and it burned him, which caused him to fall backwards and destroy the area. Poor Haruaki, this caused his pay to get docked. Don’t worry, Hijita makes it out alive. I think the gags were a lot more hilarious in this episode because it’s not Haruaki being miserable this time; it’s the students being the the comedy this time.

The voice cast for the new characters are pretty interesting. Miki is voiced by Shun Horie. I usually associate him with young boys since his roles mainly consist of them like Aether from Genshin Impact and Amethio from Pokemon Horizons. It’s interesting to hear him do a Kansai accent. Hatanaka is voiced by Ryota Iwasaki, who voiced Hayato from The Yuzuki Family’s Four Sons who’s also a teacher, except that Hatanaka is a lot more stern. What surprised me the most was Takahashi being voiced by Shouta Aoi. I always associate him with cute roles as he’s usually typecasted into those roles, so for him to voice an adult and a rather sadistic one caught me off guard. He should voice more adults because the range is crazy. This was the guy who voiced Kumatte-chan from My New Boss Is Goofy. For the students, Tamao is voiced by Yuki Sakakibara, whom I’m not too familiar with but I did watch Ayaka which he was a supporting cast in. Nyuudou is voiced by Akira Takano, a new face. Oota is voiced by Reiji Kawashima, who you might know as Fushi from To Your Eternity. I also hear Sugita as one of the students and the kappa. It’s always super interesting to see who’s in the cast. The cast is mixed with veterans and new faces.

Because I liked this episode so much, I can’t wait to see what sort of antics Haruaki and his students will deal with. What I like about this anime so far is that the story isn’t just limited to Haruaki and his class, but it also involves the faculty too. It’s nice to see more adult characters and it’s nice to learn more about some of the newly introduced characters. Hopefully, Haruaki will be reunited with his lost school uniform catalogue. What are your thoughts on this episode?
