A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans (Jingai Kyoushitsu no Ningengirai Kyoushi) began in June 2022 as an MF Bunko J light novel series authored by Kurusu Natume and illustrated by Sai Izumi (both credited with original character design), with a manga released the same year. Yen Press summarizes the light novels’ concept as:
I’m Rei Hitoma, a self-identified misanthrope due to past experiences. Just when I assumed my new job in the mountains would offer a relaxed, refreshing setting, it turns out that this institution is actually for demi-humans seeking to become fully human! There’s a mermaid, a werewolf, a rabbit, and a bird…all of whom are now my students. It’s my responsibility to educate them about humanity—and perhaps, in the process, I’ll discover a few things myself. This isn’t an alternate universe or reincarnation. It’s simply the tale of a teacher at a rather unusual school and his pupils striving for humanity.

The light novel series comprises four volumes as of February 2025.
