A manga
classic that returns with a vengeance

exponents of school horror manga.

What is
Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Cloud about?
Unexplained
paranormal phenomena begin to shake the quiet town of Domori. To
protect his students, a new elementary school teacher nicknamed "Cloud" arrives.
Although he seems like a kind and outgoing teacher, he keeps a dark
secret: he is the only psychic master in Japan, and his left
hand is possessed by a demon.
As an
infernal messenger of justice, Cloud confronts the evil spirits and
mysteries that haunt his students. Thus begins this new version of the
classic school horror and supernatural action.
