** [[spoiler:Ranka later asks Jin why did he come back to the school when he could've stay at the human school to be alone with Hitomi. He hesitates to answer.]]

Seton Academy is a school full of animals where, thanks to population decline, there are fewer humans than any other creature. Mazama Jin, an animal hater and the only human male in his class, falls in love with Hino Hitomi, the only female human, the moment he lays eyes on her. However, he soon finds himself entangled with various other creatures after he reluctantly joins the "pack" of Ranka the wolf, the only other member of her pack.

* TeensAreShort: Ranka is tiny for a wolf/teenager.

* ShoutOut: PlayedForDrama. Hana the Rhinograde starts to fade away after learning that not only was she a fictional creature from ''Literature/TheSnoutersFormAndLifeOfTheRhinogrades'', but that her kind goes extinct at the end of the story. Thankfully, Ranka finds a way to stop this... by licking and coating Hana with her scent.

** Speaking of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Gundam]], the sound and wavelength effects used to signify an animal's danger sense are the same as those used in Gundam to signify when Newtype powers activate.
** An amnesiac, oderless female turns out to be a type of Rhinograde from the fictional biology documents of ''Literature/TheSnoutersFormAndLifeOfTheRhinogrades''.

* PandaingToTheAudience: An almost-parody of this trope, since Meimei the giant panda is treated like a celebrity because of her species' popularity, so having Jin deny and even insult her is an entirely new experience.

** Ruka the dolphin having one half of her brain asleep at any time is treated like a SplitPersonality, complete with PeekABangs to indicate which side is in charge a la [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Allelujah Haptism.]]

* PteroSoarer: Nodo-sensei, the P. E. teacher, is a ''Pteranodon''.

* OverprotectiveDad: Ranka's dad isn't pleased with Ranka hanging out with Jin. And when he finds out about Ferryl's crush on Terano-sensei, he immediately jumps to attack a freaking ''T-Rex''.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Miyubi gives Manako a (very slow) slap to make her stop trying to kill herself.

* StockDinosaurs: Most of the teachers are these: ''Tyrannosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', ''Iguanodon'', ''Stegosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Spinosaurus'', ''Deinonychus'', and ''Pteranodon''. On the other hand, the token sauropod is ''Alamosaurus'' and the token pachycephalosaur is ''Stygimoloch''[[note]]Unless if you follow the hypothesis that ''Stygimoloch'' is just a juvenile form of ''Pachycephalosaurus''[[/note]]. And back in Terano's youth he had a crush on a ''Carcharodontosaurus'', while his bully was a ''Siats'', of all genera.

* EverythingIsBetterWithDinosaurs: The teachers at school are dinosaurs and a pterosaur, although the principal is an ''Anomalocaris''. Also, whereas the students are all humanoid animals on some level, the teachers are all just extinct animals with little to no biological modification... wearing suits.

** One chapter claims there is a theory that ''Stegosaurus'' may have been coprophagus due to its meager jaws compared to other herbivorous dinosaurs, lack of wear on its teeth, and downward-facing head. No such theory actually exists and for several reasons; the teeth of ''Stegosaurus'' actually do show horizontal wear and its bite force was recently discovered to have been no less stronger than ruminants, meaning it could eat tougher plant material, plus stegosaurs could rear up on its hind legs due to their low center of gravity so they weren't restricted to ground plants. That said, coprophagy in dinosaurs is not out of the question, but it's debatable if stegosaurs did it.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Many animals shown in the series aren't very common in media, including anime and manga, such as the Aye-aye, naked mole-rat, ''Alamosaurus'', ''Diprotodon'', wallaroo, the tarsier, quagga, honey possum, the wooly spider monkey, ''Andrewsarchus'', Baiji, Steller's sea cow, prairie vole, aardwolf, antechinus, ''Carcharodontosaurus'', ''Siats'' and more.

''Seton Acadamy: Join the Pack!'' is a manga written by Bungo Yamashita, published originally in ''Kodansha'' starting in May 2016 before switching publishers to ''Shogakukan''.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Many characters have [[AnimeHair bizarre hairstyles]] in [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife varying (unnatural) colors]] that don't quite correspond to their fur patterns in reality.

** This is the expression of Yangyang when told what she ate for the eating contest: [[spoiler:Rabbit poop]].

* EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys: Most students (minus Jin) certainly think so about Rimu-sensei, the woolly spider monkey.

* TyrannosaurusRex: Terano-sensei is the homeroom teacher of Jin and Ranka's class, and a ''T. rex''.

** In the second year, Ranka runs for the position to become the boss of the school, [[spoiler:with Jin running against her]].

** Inverted with Mei-Mei, who after being denied panda dumplings by Jin, bribes the other club members to pick the dumplings as their next dish (To order, dried bat droppings for Yukari, a motorized scooter for Miyubi, the promise of Mei-Mei's 1.3 billion fans joining the club for Ranka, and a high-grade silk apron for Hitomi).
