Yen Press is releasing the manga in English, and Manga UP! Global is releasing the manga digitally. Yen Press describes the manga:
Rookie teacher Haruaki Abe is as cowardly as they come. It’s hard enough for him to handle human students without whimpering-and now he’s going to be teaching at a school full of monsters?! It’s a classroom of horrors for Haruaki, as his mischievous students use every means at their disposal to prank him! Will this poor teacher be able to get his group of ghouls under control, or is this class destined for failure?
The manga launched in Square Enix‘s Monthly G Fantasy magazine in 2014, and is ongoing. Square Enix will publish the manga’s 17th compiled book volume on September 27. Yen Press published the 15th volume on Tuesday.
