THESE GIRLS AREN’T HUMAN, BUT THEY ADMIRE HUMANS MORE THAN ANYONE.
A year has already passed since I, the self-professed misanthrope Rei Hitoma, started teaching at Shiranui Private High School, where demihuman girls learn how to be regular human beings. One of my students has graduated, and now there are three new additions to my class: a dragon, a mouse, and a black cat. Somehow, these pupils are much more troublesome than the previous bunch…What will this coming school year bring? Can someone like me—someone who hates people—truly help these demi-humans realize their wish to become real humans?
