With the anticipated launch of the new anime adaptation of the beloved series "Hell Teacher Nūbē" (地獄先生ぬ～べ～) set to air at 11:15 PM on July 2, 2025, excitement is building among fans old and new. To celebrate, the e-book store BOOK☆WALKER is hosting a special sale starting from midnight on July 3. For a limited time, all 20 volumes of the manga will be available for just 70 yen each (plus tax), making it an ideal opportunity for both seasoned readers and newcomers to dive into this iconic work.

The manga, originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1993 to 1999, has sold over 29 million copies and remains a fan favorite even 25 years post-serialization. Its unique blend of horror, adventure, and humor has garnered a wide audience, and this campaign allows people to enjoy the story at an unbeatable price.

In addition to the sale, each volume of the "Nūbē" series will have its opening chapters available for free during the promotional period. This limited-time offer makes it easy for readers to experience the thrilling world of Nūbē and his fight against the supernatural threats facing his students. The free previews will be accessible on a special page that goes live at the start of the sale.

What is "Hell Teacher Nūbē"?

At the center of the story is Nūbē, a schoolteacher with a demon's hand and powerful spiritual abilities. His primary role is to protect his students from various supernatural entities, including ghosts, Yokai, and other creatures of folklore that haunt the fictional town of Dōmori. As he faces the terrors of the school and beyond, readers are treated to heart-pounding action combined with life lessons on courage and friendship.

Nūbē's character is both relatable and larger-than-life; while he is often kind-hearted and somewhat clumsy, he is also a fierce protector who will stop at nothing to keep his students safe. The dynamic between the eerie elements of the story and Nūbē's struggle to maintain a sense of normalcy in school life has made it an enduring classic.

The anime adaptation, which was first released in 1996 and continued with various adaptations and dramas over the years, will again bring Nūbē's captivating stories to life. Fans eagerly await this revival, hoping to see their favorite characters and settings reimagined for a new generation. The series' continuing popularity can be attributed to its ability to mix suspense with moments of laughter, making it a work that resonates across different generations.

As the BBC project plans to bring the new anime series into homes worldwide, BOOK☆WALKER provides a perfect opportunity for fans in Japan and abroad to connect with the source material at a significantly reduced cost.

This campaign not only serves to commemorate the anime’s debut but also refreshes the interest in the manga, reminding both long-term fans and new readers of the timeless quality of "Hell Teacher Nūbē". The sale runs from July 3 to July 16, 2025, with all works purchased remaining accessible after the sale concludes. However, the free preview versions will no longer be available post-campaign.

Dive into the spooky adventures of Nūbē while this incredible sale lasts, and prepare for the exciting anime premiere by reconnecting with the stories that shaped a generation of manga fans!
