The anime is based on the Jingai Kyoushitsu no Ningen-girai Kyoushi: Hitoma-sensei, Watashi-tachi ni Ningen o Oshiete Kuremasu ka……? (人外教室の人間嫌い教師 ヒトマ先生、私たちに人間を教えてくれますか……? ) light novel series by Kurusu Natsume. Kadokawa published Kurusu’s first novel, with illustrations by Izumi, in February 2022 and the fourth novel in February 2025.
Yen Press publishes the novel series in English under the name A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans, and it will release the third novel on April 14th, 2026. The company describe the novel’s story below:
“I’m Rei Hitoma, a self-professed misanthrope thanks to some past trauma. Just when I thought my new teaching job in the mountains would provide a chill, rejuvenating environment, it turns out that this school is actually for demi-humans who want to become full-fledged human beings! There’s a mermaid, a werewolf, a rabbit, and a bird…all of whom are now my charges. It’s my duty to teach them about humankind—and maybe in the process, I’ll learn a few things myself. This isn’t an alternate world or a case of reincarnation. It’s just the story of a teacher at a somewhat peculiar school and his students who are striving to become human.”
