Nue’s Exorcist Follows a Student Who Encounters a Mysterious Spirit
The story centers on Gakuro Yajima, an outcast whose primary goal is to avoid spirits and live a peaceful life. However, his quiet existence takes an unexpected turn when he accidentally enters a sealed room at school.
Inside, he encounters Nue, an unusual spirit who asks him to help defeat the evil spirits roaming the school grounds. Gakuro initially hesitates to accept her request, as confronting supernatural threats is the last thing he wants to do.
Unfortunately for him, the spirits will not wait indefinitely for him to make up his mind. As the danger grows, Gakuro must reconsider his desire to stay away from the supernatural world.
The series combines supernatural action, school life, and comedy as Gakuro becomes involved in a conflict he never intended to join.
