Pony Canyon describes the story:

School x Supernatural x Mystery

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!

The series stars:

Chihiro Kumano (episode director for A Couple of Cuckoos, Moriarty the Patriot) is directing the anime at 100Studio. Atsushi Oka (Hensuki, Cardfight!! Vanguard Divinez scripts) is supervising and writing the series scripts. Masahiko Suzuki (Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs) is designing the characters. Toshiki Kameyama is the sound director, and Keiichi Hirokawa and Ryūichi Takada from MONACA are composing the music.

HoneyWorks feat. KAF performs the opening theme song "She Is Now in the Labyrinth." Composer Shunryū's music project Sizuk performs the ending theme song "Kimi no Shiranai Koto" (What You Don't Know).

Additional staff members include:

The anime will premiere on the TV Tokyo channel on April 7 at 25:30 (effectively, April 8 at 1:30 a.m. or April 7 at 12:30 p.m. EDT), and it will also run BS TV Tokyo and AT-X.

Shimizu launched the manga in Kodansha's Shonen Magazine Edge in October 2019. The manga moved to Kodansha's Comic Days app when the magazine ended publication in October 2023. Kodansha published the manga's 11th compiled book volume on March 7.

The manga is based on the Bara Jūji Sōsho (Rozen Kreuz Series) novels, which is described as a "shared world" of Kyōgoku's Hyakki Yakō novel series. Kyogoku is credited as "founder" of the series. The 10-novel series began in 2015 with different authors and illustrators.
