Hokenshitsu no Shinigami



The story revolves around Hades – combination of School Nurse and Badass Teacher – starting at a new school and already managing to terrify the whole student body on his first day so badly, they start calling him a Shinigami. Throw in four Ordinary High School Students and you’ve got your Five-Man Band. Usually each chapter focuses on how someone in the school, sometimes outside, gets infected with a disease demon. Hades then steps in and takes care of the byouma (otherwise known as "disease demons") by eating it/absorbing it into his body. Often chapters are just about him trying to make the students like him. Hilarity Ensues.

Now complete with a Character Page.
