We left Haruaki Abe and his students of Class 2-3 in Kyoto for their school trip. They could have never imagined that they'd encounter three gods with a bone to pick with Abe-sensei and that they would end up shattering his soul into pieces, that the students had to catch and put back together. However, thanks to this Haruaki finds out the truth about his power and the history behind the school president and the captain of the Tengu troupe, as their lives have been intertwined for centuries.

Haruaki Abe has always wanted to be a teacher, but he has a problem. He's a scaredy cat and even kindergarten pupils can make him cry. His first stint at teaching was a failure, but when he gets offered a new position in a school on a secluded island with room and board included, he takes it. After all, what could go wrong?

With fourteen volumes released so far, A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School! is still an entertaining and hilarious readHaruaki and the students of Class 2-3 can't help but attract problems and cause mischief by simply existing!

Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjecture Volume 1 is based on the novels of the same name by Mirage Sawamura, and is illustrated by Toji Aio, with character design by Jiro Suzuki. The manga is published in the English language by Yen Press with a translation by Katelyn Smith. Volume 2 is slated for release in November 2023.

The pace of the story is fast. It's during each case that hints are dropped about the past and the possibility that supernatural creatures exist. The author, Migake Sawamura, does an amazing job in intertwining reality with elements from folklore, thus not giving a clear answer about the existence of mythological beings. By how the story is going so far, I don't believe we'll need to wait for many volumes before we get a concrete proof if the series is more 'realistic' or 'supernatural'.

Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjectures continues to keep its readers on their toes. We are introduced to new supernatural mysteries, case after case.

University student Naoya Fukamachi is helping Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki to solve more paranormal cases throughout Japan to prove that paranormal entities exist… or in some cases to prove the logical truth behind the strange happenings.

Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's ConjectureVolume 6 is the final volume in the manga series. After multiple debunked paranormal mysteries, it's finally time for Professor Akira Takatsuki and Naoya Fukamachi to find out the truth behind Naoya's lie-telling ability. Will this final mystery finally prove the existence of the supernatural?

The story is also about first love and overcoming one's fears. Josee is afraid of tigers (ergo the name in the title), but when Tsuneo needs her, she faces it. Is she not afraid anymore? No, she still is, but she's willing to face it and move forward. Seriously, this manga needs to be read for all of the feelings that arouses in its readers.

Galdardia resembles Europe during the Middle Ages for its architecture, while the fashion is a mix between medieval and 'adventurer' clothingoptimal for hunting monsters. And of course, let's not forget the magic element. The videogame-like skills window that Luciel possesses seems to be unique to him as Galdardia's inhabitants haven't shown yet if they see it as well.

The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invinciblenarrates the story of Rick, a 32-year-old man who decides to become an adventurer at 30 years old, way past his prime according to him and other adventurers. However, he doesn't let this stop him from fighting for his goal, and he undergoes torturous training under the mentorship of the Orichalcum Fist partythe legendary party in the nation!

The Terrifying Students at Ghoul School! is the spin-off series of A Terrified Teacher at Ghoul School!, where a cowardly teacher who also happens to be the reincarnation of a powerful shaman becomes the teacher for a high school class full of yokai students. In this prequel, the main protagonist switches from Abe-sensei, the teacher, to the students themselves, a year before Abe-sensei joins the faculty. Can we expect the same humorous and comical events that readers got to enjoy in the original series? Let's find out.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic has been written and illustrated by Kugayama Reki, with the original story by Kurokata and the character design by KeG. It has been published in the English language by One Peace Books with a translation by Kristi Fernandez.

Iruma is a 14-year-old boy. His upbringing has been quite strange, with his parents throwing him into dangerous situations since he was a one-year-old and learned how to walk. Their careless attitude has shaped Iruma to be a person who is incapable of refusing to help anyone, thus developing amazing survival skills. Not even his parents' last endeavour that ended up with them selling Iruma to a demon could make him say ‘no'. Whisked away to the Netherworld, Iruma is astounded by the demon Sullivan's request for him to be his grandchild. Neither does he expect to have to attend the demon school Babyls where his new grandfather is the chair-demon.

I tend to gravitate toward manhwa more than manga, but Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-Kun is one of the few manga series that I still enjoy and follow. All the characters and the adventures that Iruma and his friends go through put a smile on your face, and they make you want to be at Babyls with them.

Iruma is the only human in the demon world and he needs to keep his existence a secret. If anyone finds out that he's a human being, he risks being eaten, especially as he's attending Babyls, the school for demons. However, after befriending demons Asmodeus and Clara, all three have joined the Magical Apparatus Research Battler (aka school club), and now it's time for the Battler Party (aka school festival).

Iruma's story continues to be light-hearted and fun with many hilarious situations. It's a carefree read, and we can expect much more from the only human living in the demon world.

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun keeps its readers entertained with all the mishaps and troubles caused by Iruma and the rest of the gang in the Misfit Class.

While the story is still full of comedy and school life anecdotes, I think with the training for the Harvest Festival, it takes on a slightly more serious tone as it sets the foundations for the demons in the Misfit Class to climb the demon ranks and grow both personally and in terms of their power.

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-chan continues to be full of comedy and light-hearted moments.
