As an anime enthusiast, I had hoped that this would evoke the same impact to me as Assassination Classroom, but no. It diverged in different ways.
The narrative centers on a teacher who faced multiple rejections from schools. His last resort was a school which on day 1 made him want to quit. He realized it was a 'ghoul' or yokai school - Hyakki Academy. There was a reason why the principal decided to hire him despite his human status, and it was rooted in a pivotal secret that unfolds throughout the series.

Genre:
Comedy, I laughed multiple times while watching it
Fantasy-Action, it wasn't heavy, but there was some action to it
Horror? Can't say, I don't find it frightening. There may be a light touch of horror.

The main character is timid but it changes whenever confronted with the need to exorcise a ghoul. The relationships between the teacher and each student is something I liked watching. It added depth and humor to the narrative. Although I personally find the main character annoying, the other characters made it work - creating a balanced dynamic. Overall, it seems to provide a lighthearted yet intriguing exploration of the supernatural within an educational setting, appealing to viewers who appreciate character-driven stories with a comedic twist.
Don't watch it if you are into intense action or if you are interested in traditional school romance or slice-of-life themes. Instead, it offers a unique blend of humor and fantasy, making it a distinctive anime addition to your list. It bears some resemblance to "Assassination Classroom," yet it lacks the meticulous construction that characterized the latter. While both explore the dynamics between a teacher and their students in unconventional settings, "AC" presents a more developed storyline and richer character transformations.
