Just when I thought my new teaching job in the mountains would provide a chill, rejuvenating environment, it turns out that this school is actually for demi-humans who want to become full-fledged human beings! There's a mermaid, a werewolf, a rabbit, and a bird...all of whom are now my charges. It's my duty to teach them about humankind—and maybe in the process, I'll learn a few things myself. This isn't an alternate world or a case of reincarnation. It's just the story of a teacher at a somewhat peculiar school, and his students who are striving to become human.

| Why am I getting such strong Rosario+Vampire and Demi-chan vibes from this synopsis? Either way, I hope it will be more like these quasi-scientific titles than just another collection of moe archetypes. |

@RobertBobert more like another monster musume
| @Fairytailglazer0 Monster Musume is a typical borderline hentai that is bought by fans of porn with a plot. I have not read the original, but the synopsis and poster do not leave such an impression so far. |
