The manga will also get a new one-shot in the September issue of Shueisha‘s Saikyō Jump magazine on August 2.

Creators Makura and Okano shared their excitement about the announcement, with Makura stating, “I am thrilled that we are getting a new anime adaptation in this Reiwa (modern) era. With the changing times and advancements in digital animation, the setting has been updated, and the students of Class 5-3 have been given a modern update. Please look forward to a completely new look while retaining all the charm of Nube.”

Okano added, “The anime adaptation is finally happening! BANZAI! I can finally share the news! This project has been in the works for years, and it was tough keeping it a secret. But now, I can shout it out loud! I’m so happy! Yay! I can’t wait!”

Makura and Okano serialized the original 31-volume manga from 1993 to 1999 in Shueisha‘s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The manga has more than 29 million copies in circulation.

The description on the anime’s announcement video describes the story in English:

The story follows Meisuke Nueno, aka “Nube,” a psychic teacher with a demon hand, as he battles evil spirits and monsters to protect his students in this saga that employs elements of Japanese mythology and folklore to tell a fan-pleasing action story.

Makura and Okano have been working on various spin-off manga projects since the original series ended, including Jigoku Sensei Nube Neo and Jigoku Sensei Nube S.

The original manga inspired a television anime series in 1996-1997, a video anime series in 1998-1999, and three anime films in 1996 and 1997. The manga also inspired a live-action series adaptation in 2014.
