A girl pretending to be a boy at a school full of werewolf candidates has no business being this funny, but the show commits completely to the absurdity without winking at the camera. Every scene milks the tension of discovery, the awkward anatomy lessons, the casual werewolf worldbuilding that treats transformation like puberty with fur. This is what happens when a premise that could coast on novelty decides to actually be clever instead.

Shushu has always been told she is a wereman, until her father reveals she is actually female and can never become one. Still hoping to earn wereman certification so she can work as a public servant and let her father retire, she enrolls at Monster Academy while keeping her secret. There she meets Juzu, son of the monster king who founded the school and feared by every student. When he uncovers her secret, she learns he is dim but kind and only wanted a friend. With the whole school now watching the pair, her hopes for a quiet, unnoticed life fall apart in this three-episode comedy ONA.
