Akumu-chan - Nightmare Kid

悪夢ちゃん



Akumu-chan is a Japanese series starring Keiko Kitagawa as Mutoi Ayami. The series originally ran from October 13, 2012- December 22, 2012 with a total of 11 episodes.
 
Mutoi Ayami is a beautiful and intelligent teacher who is popular with both her students and colleagues alike. However, she has a darker side- she does not genuinely feel for others nor does she believe in love or trust. One day, however, Koto Yuiko, a girl whose dreams are able to predict terrible events of the future, transfers into Ayami's class after dreaming that Ayami is a savior of the world. Ayami reluctantly gets dragged into helping Yuiko change the terrible fate of the people around them, and learns about her own past she had repressed. 

Also starring in this series is GACKT as Shiki Takashi/Yumeoji (Dream Prince), 和田正人 Wada Masato as Mineki Yamasato, Yuka as school nurse Hirashima Kotoha, Kohinata Fumiyo as Bannosuke Koto and child star Kimura Manatsu as Koto Yuiko.

Personally I was pretty amused with the subtle references to Keiko's other shows Sailor Moon and Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de
