A close-up report on the special program just before the broadcast of the fall anime “I’ve Become a Teacher at a Yokai School!” | Osaka Ryota, who plays Abe no Seimei, and Suzuki Ryota, who plays Sano no Mikoto, pray for a big hit at Kumano Shrine, which is associated with Abe no Seimei!The popular comic “I Became a Teacher at a Yokai School!” (abbreviated as “Yokai Hajime”), which is currently being serialized in the monthly “G Fantasy” magazine and has sold a total of 1 million copies, will finally be broadcast as an anime in October 2024, marking the ninth year of its serialization.

This work is a story about a novice teacher, Abe no Seimei, who is assigned to “Hyakki Gakuen,” a school where monsters from all over Japan gather. It is a fun, exciting, and monster school comedy in which Seimei is manipulated by the unique monsters.

To commemorate the anime broadcast, Animate Times conducted an in-depth interview for a special program just before the broadcast of the TV anime “I Became a Teacher at a Yokai School!”, which has the theme of “filming at places related to Abe no Seimei.” We bring you footage of Osaka Ryota, who plays Abe no Seimei, and Suzuki Ryota, who plays Sano no Mikoto, strolling around Aoto, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo.

Ryota Osaka, who plays Abe Haruaki, and Ryota Suzuki, who plays Sano Mikoto in the TV anime “I Became a Teacher at a Yokai School!”, visited Aoto in Katsushika Ward, Tokyo to film a special program just before it aired.

In the midst of the unstable weather, Osaka-san appears with the Nakagawa River behind him and talks about the location shooting at the places related to “Abe no Seimei”. So, as he immediately tries to walk along the river by himself, Suzuki-san appears dashingly with the words “Wait a minute!”

As Suzuki ad-libbed and dashed across in front of the camera, someone commented, “Hey, is there a marathon runner there…?”, but with both Osaka and Suzuki together, the special program “Ryota and Ryota Have Started XX!” began in earnest.

While walking along the river, Osaka commented about the character he plays, “Is there really a teacher who gets criticized so harshly (in the introduction) by the official sources?!” to which Suzuki replied, “That’s true, he is a very perverted teacher.”

When the topic of other favorite characters came up, Osaka mentioned the doppelganger police officer Yamazaki Makoto (voiced by Maeno Tomoaki), and Suzuki mentioned the mad scientist Ittan Momen Yanagida (voiced by Sugita Tomokazu). The crosstalk, which built up anticipation about what kind of incidents will unfold in the story with these characters, unfolded.
