What They Say
Everyone’s on edge with Yuichi having left Morimori after the devastating revelation that he isn’t actually human. Aside from losing one of her best friends (and maybe something more?), Neko is distraught at how the truth about Yuichi affects her own place at this school for animal shape-shifters. But when she herself decides to leave the academy, it’s up to Kotaro to bring her back!
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers):
Animal Academy is a series that’s really starting to grow on me. I like pleasant, low-key stories, and Animal Academy is nothing if not pleasant and low-key. The question was whether or not it will be a particularly good pleasant, low-key story. After seeing what it could do with this volume and a little of the last, I think it is. I like it better now than I did when I was reading the first two books. This is not because the series has changed, exactly: it is very much the same warm, comfortable, leisurely-paced school drama with touches of mild comedy, and thank goodness for that. But now it’s added something extra. Animal Academy is not different; just a little deeper and even more rewarding.
