Synopsis

Himeno is a sweet, shy girl, who struggles with the high school life. The difference is she's a centaur; but she's not alone. In fact, all of her classmates are supernatural creatures, sporting horns, wings, tails, halos, or some other unearthly body appendage. Yet despite their fantastical natures, Himeno and her best friends are down-to-earth, fun-loving teenagers who grapple with issues of life and love.

While preparing for a class play, centaur Himeno Kimihara, who is playing the princess, ends up kissing her demon friend Nozomi Gokuraku after a male classmate who had originally hoped to play the prince role modified her script. During the play, a set of steps collapses beneath Himeno and Nozomi, forcing Himeno to make a daring rescue to save Nozomi. Later, during marathon practise, Nozomi and their half-Satyr friend Kyouko Naraku test how fast Himeno can run, which almost results in an accident.

After finding Himeno modelling in a fashion magazine, Nozomi is roped into trying out some different fashions by Mitsuyo Akechi and her girlfriend Inukai after they hint Himeno might get expelled for having a part-time job. She later learns, however, that Himeno's modelling work was simply an unpaid favor for her mother's friend, while Mitsuyo was secretly working at a part-time job the whole time. On a cold day, Himeno and friends try to warm themselves up by thinking back to when their class went to a school for merfolk to attend their classes.

After being assured that she is perfectly normal, Himeno accepts the love letter only to find the boy was only interested in her for her breasts. Later, Himeno and Kyouko try to help Nozomi study for her make-up exams, during which Nozomi believes she sees a UFO.

While visiting his homeland prior to his speech, Jean is concerned by his people's willingness to rage war against mammal-based lifeforms. Many years ago, a young angel boy is captured and forced to work in an internment camp. As the boy becomes weaker and filled with despair, he is given food by a centaur who is regarded as a traitor among his fellow prisoners, convinced that those with good hearts need to survive. Just as the federation army raids the camp to rescue the prisoner, the boy finds the centaur hung by the other prisoners, who attempt to kill him as well before he is rescued by a kind soldier. This allowed him to grow up into a kind-hearted politician who is accepting of all races.
