Following on from last month’s cute Autumn visual for upcoming fantasy anime A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans, this month we have the anime’s Winter visual.
As you’d expect, it again features the show’s four main girls — from top left to bottom right, Sui the rabbit, Tobari the bird, werewolf Isaki and mermaid Kyouka — but this time they are all outside delighted by the newly-falling snow, while Sui and Tobari are throwing tiny snowballs at each other.
The visuals are being released to help promote the studio Asread-animated series, as it’s due to drop its first episode as an advanced screening on December 14th, followed by the anime’s proper premiere some time in January, 2026

A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans production information
With no word yet on the exact premiere date for the school-themed, supernatural anime, we do have this information about the A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans anime adaptation’s production details.
The series is being animated by the previously mentioned studio Asread, who also did a great job producing Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest.
Akira Iwanaga (The Faraway Paladin: The Lord of the Rust Mountains) is directing, with Katsuhiko Takayama (Mirai Nikki) in charge of series composition, and Maiko Okada (Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory) designing the cute characters.
‘Ningen‘ by Masayoshi Oishi is the anime’s opening theme song, while its ending theme is being performed by the anime’s four demi-humans.

That song is ‘Ningen Come True!‘, and is performed by Kyouka (aka voice actress Sora Amamiya), Isaki (Saori Oonishi), Sui (Maria Naganawa), and Tobari (Rui Tanabe).
The anime is based on the light novel series written by Natsume Kurusu and illustrated by Sai Izumi. Yen Press publishes the novels in English.
And yes, its adorably cute plot looks like this:
Rei Hitoma is a 30-something NEET with a traumatic relationship with others. “I thought I’d change jobs to a school in the mountains, surrounded by abundant nature, and live a leisurely life as a rehabilitation teacher, but to my surprise, it turns out to be a girls’ school where non-humans become humans!?”
“I spend my days with such strange students as Kyouka, a mermaid; Isaki, a werewolf, Sui, a rabbit; and Tobari, a bird. Why do they want to become human? What do they want to do once they become human? Through them, I learn about “humans.”
This is not an alternate world fantasy, nor is it a story of reincarnation and rebirth. It’s just the story of a teacher at a slightly unusual school, and the lives of the non-human girls he teaches who aspire to become human.
Look out for its first episode premiering next week, and then a drop in January. Likely on Crunchyroll.
