“Great Teacher Onizuka, but supernatural” is how Hell Teacher Nube was sold to me when I was just a wee kid, and that proved to be extremely apt. Following a teacher protecting his students from supernatural things while also being an incorrigible bum, Hell Teacher Nube is a series from another age that might just be popping back into the spotlight.

Where To Start The Hell Teacher Nube Manga After The Anime?
If you only watched the Hell Teacher Nube 1997 TV anime, then you can start the Hell Teacher Nube manga at Chapter 138.
The OVAs are also a continuation of the manga. They adapt chapters 198 through 208. However, starting after where the OVAs end would mean skipping all those chapters in between.
The Hell Teacher Nube movies are original adventures and not an adaptation of the manga.

Hell Teacher Nube 2025 to be added after the final episode of the new anime airs.
What to Expect From The Hell Teacher Nube Manga?
Hell Teacher Nube is widely an episodic manga, or “yokai of the week” type of series. Which means the anime adapts about as many chapters as it has episodes. The Hell Teacher Nube anime skips quite a few chapters in the adaptation, but also, because they are episodic stories, you can technically still just pick the manga up after where the anime ends and keep reading on without issue.
Is The Hell Teacher Nube Manga Over?
The original Hell Teacher Nube manga is complete. It ended in 1999 with Chapter 279.
Hell Teacher Nube continued in two sequel manga series:
- Hell Teacher Nube Neo that ended in 2018 with Chapter 118
- Hell Teacher Nube S, which is a sequel to Neo, that ended in 2021 with Chapter 21.
You can also enjoy the completed Reibai Izuna spin-off manga that follows Izuna doing spirit medium things.
Will There Be A Hell Teacher Nube Season 2?
Surprising everyone, a Hell Teacher Nube anime project was announced to air sometime in 2025.
While not specifically confirmed, wording of the announcement suggests that the Hell Teacher Nube 2025 anime will be a reboot rather than a continuation. However, a “remake” sort of affair is also possible.
The 3 OVAs are based on chapters 198, 129 and 203-208 in that order.
