This series is set in a world where the human population has declined and species interact as near equals. Jin Mazama, a boy who dislikes animals, and Hitomi Hino are the only human students at the titular Seton Academy; Jin rather fancies Hitomi but he has caught the eye of other students, most notably Ranka Ookami a wolf-girl who wants him to join her pack. Jin forms a cooking club with Hitomi; Ranka soon joins along with an ever increasing number of other animals. There is some conflict but mostly it is all for laughs.
I wouldn't call this a must see series but it was rather fun; certainly better than I'd expected. The characters are good and distinctive... males look like their species but females look like standard anime girls with the ears/tail of their species... the makers clearly know their audience! That said there isn't too much in the way of fan service. Away from the activities of the cooking club a highlight is a male lion who has fallen in love with a female impala... something which both species disapprove of. Amongst the comedy one is likely to learn some facts about the various species. The ending implies that there is more to come; whether there will be remains to be seen.
