Kodansha Comics is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Monsters of legend walk among us, going by the name “demi-humans.” Ever since he's discovered the “demis,” one young man has become obsessed with them. So when he gets a job as a teacher at a high school for demi-girls, it's a dream come true! But these demis, who include a rambunctious vampire, a bashful headless girl, and a succubus, have all the problems normal teenagers have, on top of their supernatural conditions. How to handle a classroom full of them?!
Kodansha published the manga's fourth volume in Japan on September 20. Kodansha Comics released the manga's first volume in English on November 1, and will release the second volume on January 17.
