Episode 7 Story

The Visit of the Bakeneko

One day, Kanna Kusakabe and Atsuko Chuzenji encounter a filthy stray cat. The cat takes a liking to Kanna, prompting her to find it a new home. Atsuko advises her that giving the cat a proper cleaning might help in finding someone to take it in. The two head to the Chuzenji household together. With the help of Yukie, a friend of Chizuko Chuzenji, the cat is transformed and given the name “Zakuro.”

Meanwhile, another problem arises at the Chuzenji household—Chizuko has lost her favorite hand mirror. Just then, Zakuro suddenly dashes off, as if guiding Kanna and the others somewhere.

About Chuzenji-sensei

Set in postwar Tokyo in 1948, the anime follows high school student Kanna Kusakabe, who has just advanced to the second year of the new school system. She meets Akihiko Chuzenji, a newly appointed language teacher, and finds herself facing strange phenomena lurking within daily life.

The story is based on a manga spin-off by Aki Shimizu, depicting Chuzenji’s early years as a teacher. The character of Chuzenji is known as “Kyogokudo” in the original Hyakki Yako novels, which have sold over 10 million copies.

Produced by 100studio, the anime features Kaori Maeda as Kanna Kusakabe and Katsuyuki Konishi as Chuzenji. Additional cast members include Shinnosuke Tachibana, Shuya Nishiji, and Takanori Hoshino.
