The town of Domori has been plagued by several inexplicable phenomena. To protect the town’s children, a new homeroom teacher named Nube arrives.
Though normally gentle and somewhat outgoing, Nube has a secret side: he is the only psychic teacher in Japan. Rumor has it that his left hand is possessed by a demon.
The messenger of Hell’s justice is here to take on the school’s seven mysteries, ghosts, and evil spirits attacking his students. This occult action story starts now!
