Jin Mazama

Jin Mazama is a teenage boy who looks like a regular human student among animal classmates. There are no special details about his height, weight, or other physical features given.

Jin is grumpy and always acts annoyed around animals. He calls them things like "beasts" or "dumb ."

Even though he says he hates animals, he has a soft side.

Jin is smart, helpful, and gives advice, even if his words are often harsh.

He is a little bit of a “tsundere”—he acts cold but actually cares.

Jin is kind to Hitomi Hino, his human classmate, and tries hard for her.

With friends, he often does not show kindness in words, but his actions show he cares.

Jin used to like animals when he was little.

When he was three years old, he tried to help Ranka Ōkami when she was attacked by bear cubs.

Instead, he was badly beaten and after that, began to hate animals.

This event made him think humans and animals can never understand each other.

He started calling all animals rude names and keeps things like bear-repellent spray and citrus fruits to protect himself.

Even so, he knows a lot about animals because he reads many animal books.

Jin has amazing knowledge about animals.

He is good at cooking and can do well in his school studies.

He is often the one who comes up with plans and takes the lead during trouble in the Cooking Club.

• Jin is head-over-heels for Hitomi Hino and becomes a completely different (nicer) person around her. He wants to spend school days with just her.
• Ranka Ōkami is an animal who really likes Jin, but he acts mean to her, even though sometimes he shows that he cares by calling her by her first name.
• Mei Mei, who likes being yelled at, falls for Jin because of his rough words.
• Meri also grows feelings for Jin after he helps her.
• Other animal students, like Yubiru and Bono, learn to appreciate Jin because he recognizes each species’ strengths instead of making fun of them.
• Even though he wants a human-only life, he starts to care more about his Cooking Club animal friends.

"Jin Mazama" is a wordplay on the Japanese word for "human."

He is sometimes called “Jin-dere” because he acts cold (tsundere) but is actually kind.

Even though he claims to hate animals, he never hurts them and secretly wants peace.

He stands out at Seton Academy because being human is rare there.

Hating Animal Life

Jin hates being at Seton Academy, a school for animals, and tries to avoid making animal friends.

His dream is to get through school with only Hitomi Hino.

The School Explanation Day

A year before entering the school, Jin went to Seton Academy’s orientation for fun and met a "cat girl," who was actually Hitomi in disguise.

He joined the school, hoping he would meet her again.

Cooking Club and New Bonds

He unwillingly joins the Cooking Club with Ranka and other animals.

Little by little, he helps them with their problems and learns more about them.

Even though he grumbles, Jin becomes the behind-the-scenes boss of the Cooking Club.

Helping and Being Helped

Jin's actions and sharp words unintentionally attract attention from animal students looking for advice or guidance.

Some students, like Mei Mei and Meri, develop crushes on him.

Jin gradually starts seeing his animal classmates in a better way.

Trying to Change

Even if he still wants a "humans-only" life, Jin can’t ignore the new friendships he forms.

His feelings for Hitomi Hino keep him motivated, but his world gets busier and more cheerful, thanks to his animal friends.
