His life changes when he discovers Nue, a powerful spirit who asks him to eliminate dangerous supernatural beings lurking around his school.
The official English publisher, VIZ Media, describes the story as the beginning of Gakuro’s spirit-exorcist adventure, blending supernatural battles with comedy and an unconventional central character.
With its summer 2027 premiere confirmed, the anime will introduce Kawae’s supernatural action series to a wider audience.
