Aki Shimizu:
I can’t believe that there’s going to be a Chuzenji-sensei anime! I’m so honored! I’m going to look forward to it as a viewer myself.
Natsuhiko Kyogoku:
A man who was born from the words that I wrote and was given a physical form through Aki Shimizu’s sorcery is now going to be moving and talking. He’s also apparently young. I can’t help but be shocked.

Pony Canyon describes the plot of The Mononoke Lecture Logs Of Chuzenji-sensei: He Just Solves All The Mysteries as:
This story takes place before the exorcist Kyogokudo opened up a used bookstore…
Our setting is in Tokyo in 1948, just right after the war.
Kanna Kusakabe had just become a second-year at a high school when she meets the new language teacher, Akihiko Chuzenji.
Mysterious supernatural things keep happening around Kanna. Once again today, Kanna is going to open the doors to the library prep room to seek help from the surly Chuzenji-sensei who is waiting inside.
A high school supernatural mystery featuring the unlikely duo between a teacher and a high school girl is about to begin!
Aki Shimizu launched The Mononoke Lecture Logs Of Chuzenji-sensei: He Just Solves All The Mysteries manga in Kodansha’s shonen manga magazine Shonen Magazine Edge in October 2019. After the magazine’s discontinuation in October 2023, the series was transferred to Kodansha’s Comic Days website in December that same year.
