Synopsis
Premise
Due to a population decline, there are fewer humans than there are humanoid animals. Jin Mazama is a human boy who attends Seton Academy where the majority of students are animals. Jin hates animals, but as luck would have it, a female human named Hitomi Hino catches his eye. Unfortunately, Jin finds himself grabbing the attention of other animals such as Ranka Ōkami, a young wolf girl who is the only member of her pack, and has a huge crush on him.
Setting
In the world of Seton Academy, all the male students and staff have the appearance of their species, while the females all appear as various forms of moe girls with kemonomimi, and other features such as tails and/or horns.
Characters
Cooking Club
- Jin Mazama (間様人, Mazama Jin)
- Voiced by: Haruki Ishiya[2]
- A human boy with xenophobic tendencies who hates animals after an incident with Ranka and three bear cubs when they were children. He falls in love with Hitomi at first sight, the only other human at Seton Academy. Initially, he despises Ranka with a passion and tries in vain to avoid her at all costs, up to the point of even abusing her physically at times. But throughout the course of the series, he eventually admits to having secret feelings for her too (but he doesn't want to make it public). Like Hitomi, he enjoys cooking for himself as the academy's cafeteria mostly caters to animal diets. He is very knowledgeable about animals based on their instincts, weaknesses, and modern history. Aside from his stubbornness, Jin usually carries on helping Ranka and other animals, even if it annoys and infuriates him beyond belief. Overjoyed having to fleetingly register at a human school with Hitomi, and as a means to stay away from Ranka and the other animals, Jin soon realized that he's not used to the human society and keeps getting into a perverted state of affairs, that he (unwilling) and Hitomi (missing Ranka and her animal friends) decide to enroll back at Seton Academy, much to Jin's dismay. After being stampede by a herd of elephants, Jin woke up ten years later to find that Ranka has passed away, which leaves him heartbroken and devastated; he used Miyubi's time-leaping device through 145 loops till he succeeds in avoiding this outcome. Jin genuinely approves Ranka and her pack at a graduation ceremony for third-years'.
- Ranka Ōkami (大狼ランカ, Ōkami Ranka)
- Voiced by: Hina Kino[2]
- A pink female Hokkaido wolf. While she considers herself a pack leader, she is its only member which often times makes her feel lonely. She is in love with Jin, treating him as the alpha male and becoming possessive and jealous when he is approached by other females. Initially, she sees Hitomi as a rival wanting to take Jin away from her, but throughout the series, they become good friends. After overhearing Jin's confession to Hitomi, Ranka opts to become the next student council president as a means to escape. Accepting Jin's unexpected opposition in the election, she and Jin challenged each other through the school tower but Jin steps down when privately admitting he is slightly attracted to her. Jin became such an important figure in Ranka's life that she would neglect her health for the sake of being with Jin, often much to his annoyance.
- Hitomi Hino (牝野瞳, Hino Hitomi)
- Voiced by: Yume Miyamoto[2]
- A human girl who became friends with Jin as the few other humans at Seton. She enjoys cooking and decided to start a cooking club. Although she genuinely cares for Jin, she appears to be oblivious to his crush on her most of the time, and it isn't clear whether or not she reciprocates his feelings. She is easily embarrassed when watching Jin dealing with the animal habits of other girls. She also becomes good friends with Ranka as she genuinely cares for her too, despite their first encounter. In the future, Hitomi became a nurse tending for a patient Jin, although this is unconfirmed if it's really her personal career path once Jin's impending fate has been altered.

In the future, Miyubi became a vague scientist that really confuses Jin of her big vocabulary and professionalism.
- Kurumi Nekomai (猫米クルミ, Nekomai Kurumi)
- Voiced by: Sora Tokui[2]
- A female cat who can elicit different feelings in others by altering the frequency of her purring. She joined the Cooking Club to make friends but is too proud to admit it.

Jin is approached by Ruka who, due to the dolphin's unusual sleep patterns, alternately begs tearfully then forcefully demands Jin convince Kana to quit as a mixed species show is impossible. Jin is scared by a giraffe-boy who is romantically interested in him. Like Ruka, Kana is worried separate species can't swim together, but Ranka is confident Jin's singing idea will work since he got the cooking club girls to work together. Feeling guilty, Jin points out Kana has been trying to sing with her mouth, but Belugas actually sing using a special nasal cavity on top of their heads. Kana and the cooking club put on a show and Kana manages to sing a beautiful song that resonates with the nasal cavity in Ruka's head, causing her to realize the emotional side of her brain wants to help Kana even more. She and the other dolphins join the show with Kana leading them. The show is a success and Kana is invited to join the swimming club. Later, Jin almost has a chance to confess to Hitomi but is interrupted by the giraffe-boy. | |||

| Mei Mei meets a nervous tarsier-girl named Manako Kagami who tries to commit suicide. Jin says this is normal for tarsiers since their species commit suicide when stressed. Mei Mei eventually befriends Manako who becomes so happy she tries suicide again but is stopped by Miyubi, who tells her to defeat her instincts. Shiho tells King she is finally in the heat but insists he meet her parents. Miki considers retiring as council president. A typhoon floods the school's underground, requiring the tunnel dwelling species to share bedrooms with those above ground. Hina's new roommate is Hoshino Hana, a mole-girl, while Miki turns Jin's room into her office. She asks if he wants to replace her as he can cooperate with multiple species, but reconsiders after hearing his evil plans to get rid of the animals. Jin points out Miki works with more species, meaning she also forms inter-species friendships. Realizing he is right Miki becomes so happy she strips off everything, including underwear, just as the cooking club arrives. Miki clears up the misunderstanding with the girls, who all strip to their underwear to make Miki more comfortable (without Jin present). A new predator girl arrives at Seton and immediately senses the presence of a human. Shiho's parents decide to trust King, but only if he takes part in an Impala Tournament. | |||
| 10 | "A Gentle Savage" Transliteration: "Ichi nin no Onwana yabanjin" (Japanese: 一人の穏和な野蛮人) | March 10, 2020 | |
| The new girl, Anne Anetani, visits the cooking club and witnesses Jin saving Ranka, who is in her reproductive cycle, driving all the canine males crazy with lust. Anne beats up all the dogs with a stone spear. The cooking club believes Anne is human and Hitomi is happy to be with another human. Jin hides Ranka in his room, only to realize that being in heat means Ranka is also crazy with lust, so she pounces on him. Jin rejects Ranka, claiming he hates her, making her cry. Anne later tells Jin she is interested in him, which he interprets as a confession, and rejects her, infuriating her. While spending time with Hitomi, Anne faints from hunger, so Hitomi feeds her large amounts of meat. A depressed Ranka finishes her heat cycle and tells Anne she is having problems with her human boyfriend. Anne advises she dump him as humans have caused many species to go extinct. Ranka decides to confront Jin while Anne hopes they argue and the pack falls apart. Ranka confronts Jin and he admits humans are cruel liars, meaning he was lying about hating her. With the cooking club back to normal Anne angrily returns to her original school, Darwin Academy, and her team the Extinct Species Alliance, or Team EX, made up of several supposedly extinct species, who seek the complete destruction of the human race. Anne assures them she can drive the humans extinct. Meanwhile, King competes in the Impala Tournament and defeats Shiho's father, who is convinced that King is a worthy son-in-law, however, both he and Shiho's mother knock King out after learning he plans on mating with Shiho as soon as possible. | |||
| 11 | "Extinct Species and a Primitive Plot" Transliteration: "Zetsumetsushu to genshi teki bōryaku" (Japanese: 絶滅種と原始的謀略) | March 17, 2020 | |
| As the school festival begins, Anne returns to Seton and helps the cooking club serve food to everyone. Iena helps as well and she and Anne instantly dislike each other as they both have feelings for Hitomi. The rest of Team EX arrives at the festival: Babari Atlas the Barbary lion-boy, Yangyang the Chinese river dolphin-girl, Washima Komandorski the Steller's sea cow-boy, and Ando Andrew the Andrewsarchus-boy, with the goal of wiping out humanity. Anne senses her team has arrived and not wanting Hitomi to be hurt, knocks her out and tries to carry her away, but Iena intercepts and fights her. Washima is distracted by the festival's games. Ando mistakes Teru for a human and attacks her, only to get beaten up by Ferrill. Yangyang is served a meal by Yukari and enjoys it, only to be horrified when Yukari says it is made of rabbit droppings. Babari captures Jin and nearly kills him, but King and Shiho rescue him. Babari mocks King's love for Shiho and slaps her, but King defeats him after Jin distracts him by pointing out Barbary lions are not actually extinct. After interrogating Babari, they realize Hitomi is in danger and look for her. Anne tells Iena that she seeks revenge on humanity for driving her species to extinction, but Iena destroys her spear. Ranka arrives and convinces Anne to stand down by sniffing her and being able to tell she regrets her actions, then having faith in her to do the right thing. Afterward, a Woolly mammoth whom Anne identifies as the boss of Team Ex berates Anne for going soft and appears with earth-shaking steps. | |||
| 12 | "The Animal Students I Know" Transliteration: "Ore no shiru gakusei dōbutsu" (Japanese: オレの知る学生動物) | March 24, 2020 | |
| As Jin, King, and Shiho arrive, Jin realizes that Anne is a Neanderthal, not a human. The huge woolly mammoth was an illusion and the real boss of Team EX is Koorimoto Man, a tiny mammoth-girl. Despite her size, she is incredibly strong and effortlessly beats up King and Iena. Jin temporarily neutralizes her by spilling Shiho's bag of marbles (elephants avoid stepping on small objects), then proposes Koorimoto face Ranka in a boxing match. Koorimoto accepts, keeping Hitomi as a hostage and offering to release her if she loses, but being allowed to get revenge on Jin and Hitomi if she wins. Ferrill offers to take Ranka's place, but Ranka is determined. Anne remembers Koorimoto uniting Team EX to get revenge on humanity for driving them to extinction, but is conflicted when Hitomi says she still considers them friends even though she isn't human. With Kuroe as the referee, Ranka tries avoiding Koorimoto's punches to tire her out, but any blow Koorimoto does land causes serious damage due to her immense strength. In between rounds, Anne tries to convince Koorimoto that humans are not as evil as they thought, but she refuses to listen. Ranka gets knocked out of the ring but beats the 10-count. Jin gives Ranka encouragement, cheering her up and restoring her energy, while Anne tells Koorimoto that they are no longer friends, depressing her. Ranka knocks Koorimoto out and wins. Washima tries to attack them, but slips on the marbles and knocks himself out. Afterward, Team EX makes amends with everybody and cooks a meal with the cooking club. As Team EX leaves, Anne gets annoyed when Iena interrupts her talk with Hitomi. Later, the cooking club finds King beaten up and he says Seton Academy is under attack by the giant insect students of Fabre Academy. | |||
| OVA | "Hot Spring Conference of Animal Girls" Transliteration: "Dōbutsu no on'nanoko no onsen kaigi" (Japanese: 動物の女の子の温泉会議) | July 3, 2020 | |
| After Seton Academy battled Fabre Academy off-screen, the female members of the cooking club, Iena, Anne, Koorimoto, and Yangyang relax in the hot spring. Iena gets increasingly jealous at how close Hitomi is getting with Anne and Koorimoto. Yukari seduces Yangyang and gets her to admit she enjoyed eating poop. Hitomi says Jin mentioned humans and Neanderthals are close enough to interbreed, causing Anne to beg Hitomi to mate with her. The thought of mating with Hitomi arouses Iena and her pseudo penis gets an erection. Enraged, Anne attacks Iena with her spear. Koorimoto admits that she has also fallen in love with Hitomi and declares that she will claim her, causing Ranka to attack her to defend Hitomi and the rest of her pack. Hitomi screams at them to stop fighting, causing them to stop and apologize, but then Anne and Iena continue to argue, much to Hitomi's frustration. | |||
