"Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube" is a manga written by Makura Shou and illustrated by Okano Takeshi, which was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from 1993 to 1999. The story follows Meisuke Nueno(Nube), a young teacher assigned to Domori Elementary School, who solves a series of incidents with the power of the "demon hand" that resides in his left arm. The official sequel, "Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube NEO", was serialized in "Grand Jump" (same publisher) from 2014 to 2018, and "Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube S" was serialized in "Saikyō Jump" (same publisher) from 2018 to 2021.

The TV anime series was broadcast from 1996 to 1997, and was also made into an OVA and a feature film. In 2014, a TV drama starring Ryuhei Maruyama was broadcast.
The new anime is also attracting attention because Ryotaro Okiayu , who played the main character Nube, or Meisuke Nueno , in the TV anime, movie, and OVA (original video animation) that aired from 1996 to 1997, will be reprising his role.
