The Mononoke Lecture Logs manga and Rozen Kreuz novels details

The anime is based on the manga-spinoff of the Rozen Kreuz novels created by Aki Shimizu.

The novels are written by renowned Japanese mystery writer Natsuhiko Kyogoku, who has to be one of the most prolific and most detail-oriented and quality-obsessed writers in Japan (Good for him!).

The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei (aka  中禅寺先生物怪講義録　先生が謎を解いてしまうから。in Japanese) manga series is serialized by Kodansha via their Comic Days manga magazine.

My Anime List (via Pony Canyon) explains the anime’s plot like this:

School x Supernatural x Mystery. This story takes place before the exorcist Kyougokudou 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!

Now doesn’t that sound like fun??? And doesn’t Chuzenji-sensei look incredibly cute???!!!
