Seton Academy Entrance Ceremony

School entrance ceremonies! All signs of the new season.

Come on, you guys!

You're all a bunch of animals!

Humans are the most skilled throwers of all mammals

Oh, crap!

Hey!

All right, brats...

Seton Academy Teacher Terano-sensei Tyrannosaurus Rex

Line up, or I'll eat every last one of you!

Now, the headmaster would like to address all the new students.

Headmaster, if you please.

Well, everyone, today is—

Seton Academy Headmaster Amano-sensei Anomalocaris

Headmaster!

W-Water! Water!

Ow!

Ow!

You, child...

Water... Please fetch some water!

Why?!

Don't fetch me! I asked you to fetch water!

This is why I can't stand animals.

No! Stop!

Oh, I'm done for!

Join the Pack!

Seton Academy

Unnatural interspecies relations are strictly forbidden!!

Miyubi: Dead

This is a school for animals, where all sorts of animals live together.

It is a sacred cage where constant battles between species

foster a spirit of survival of the fittest in all students,

and it is called...

Seton Academy!

Seton Academy

Seton Academy

Seton Academy Record 1 Ranka the Wolf Boss

Chow time!

Animal Weaknesses

His name is Mazama Jin.

He's a new first-year here at Seton Academy.

He is a primate of the species Homo sapiens,

or in other words, a human.

I hope all you stupid animals go extinct!

He hates animals with a passion.

Cafeteria

Hurry it up!

You're holding up the line!

Raw Meat

Grass

Bugs

Raw Fish

Leaves

Water

Meal Tickets

Excuse me.

Yep?

Dressing on the grass, please.

Raw Meat

Grass

If you don't have any, at least put salt on it.

And... please cook the meat!

Cook it? Why?

Damn it!

I'll just try to tuck myself away in a corner.

It's that dumb dog from the entrance ceremony!

It is extremely dangerous to carelessly approach an animal that is eating.

Carnivores, in particular. If they think their prey is about to be stolen...

They will become very threatening.

The best course of action is not to panic and run away,

but to avert your eyes, expressing that you don't want to fight.

This calms them down.

But they will still be wary as long as you're nearby,

Stare...

Stare

so the fastest way to make peace is...

Here.

This wins them over instantly!

Stupid animal...

I'm gonna...

let you join my pack!

Huh?

I'm Ranka the wolf, boss of the proud wolf clan!

I'll show you to my territory! Follow me!

Hey, hey, hey! Aren't you happy?

Huh? Huh? Huh? You can join my pack!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Canines rely on their sense of smell to survive,

so when presented with any object, they have to sniff it.

Go!

Now's my chance to—

May I sit next to you?

Look, I... don't...

You're Mazama Jin-kun, right?

Hino Hitomi Primate: Homo sapiens

Are you done eating already?

No, no!

I'm still just starting. Go ahead, have a seat.

Oh, good!

You and I are the only humans here, so I felt a little lost.

I'm so glad I'm human!

You brought lunch from home, Hino-san?

Yeah. I really like to cook.

And the menu here is a little too wild for me.

Yeah, considering this...

S-She's soothing my soul.

What could be better than this?

Random, vague conversations, peaceful times...

I wish all these animals would go extinct and leave the two of us here.

There's a strange female here!

Is this a friend of yours, Jin-kun?

No, no...

Hey!

If you want this male, you'll have to fight me for him!

H-Huh?

Bring it, human female!

Excuse me! I'm not a "male"! I'm Mazama Jin!

What are you doing to Hino-san?!

Sorry!

I guess I was interfering!

Hino-san!

Aw, man...

I win!

Victory!!

What do you think you're doing, you dumb mutt?!

I'm the boss! I won't let you treat me that way!

I never said I wanted to join a pack of dogs!

I'm not a dog! I'm a wolf!

Same difference!

You keep talking about your pack, but it looks to me like...

You're all alone!

Alone

Leave me out of your stupid "pack" game!

Go away!

Shoo, shoo!

Uh... Now, listen.

I'm a human, and you're a dog.

Wolf...

Just look at everyone else.

They're all hanging out with their own kind.

Animals of different species can't become friends.

That's not true.

A long time ago, there was a human who saved me!

When I was little,

I was attacked by bears...

Stop!

...and he showed up.

He protected me with no regard for the danger he was in.

No one outside my pack had ever done anything like that for me before.

I was so happy.

At the time, I thought

that I might be able to make friends with animals other than wolves...

That I might be able to form a pack with lots of different animals in it!

Forget it!

If you decide you want to join my pack later, I'm not letting you in!

Seton Academy Student Dormitory

When some bears were picking on me,

a human boy showed up and saved me.

No...

Stop!

That was me!

I just stumbled across a puppy that was being picked on,

and thought I'd help her out...

But I ended up being beaten to a pulp by those bears.

I've hated animals ever since.

Se

Then that stupid dog started licking my wounds, even though I told her to stop.

That's when I knew I'd never share any kind of understanding with animals.

I never thought I'd run into that mutt again.

That I might be able to form a pack with lots of different animals!

Well, it's no concern of mine.

Seton Academy: Join the Pack!

Tibetan wolf!

Seton Academy: Join the Pack!

Zebra!

Yeah! Break time!

Damn animals...

Good morning, Jin-kun.

H-Hino-san?

A club?

Yeah. I was thinking of starting a cooking club.

Oh, yeah. You did say you like to cook.

Yeah.

I thought it'd be nice to show other students how fun cooking is.

I think it's a great idea!

You could start a garden on the school grounds.

That's jumping the gun a bit.

This is the beginning of my youth!

I told you! If you want Jin, you have to fight me, human female!

Uh, um...

And I told you that I don't want to be in your pack!
