Synopsis
Eru Yamada is a 15-year-old student who belongs to her school's biology club, nicknamed the 'Ikimono Gakari' because she will take care of almost any living creature. Her ordinary school life changes when new member Ichiro Tanaka turns out to be a vampire. The club's adviser is a werewolf, and more supernatural boys—including an invisible man and a zombie—keep appearing around her. The comedy gradually develops into a supernatural romance as Eru and Ichiro become increasingly important to each other while the strange creatures around them keep turning school life into chaos.
1-nen 5-kumi Ikimono Gakari is a supernatural shoujo romantic comedy that uses the familiar school-club setup as an excuse to surround Eru with increasingly bizarre monster boys. Haruka Fukushima keeps the tone playful, but the relationship between Eru and vampire Ichiro gives the series a clear emotional through-line, especially as the later volumes move from episodic monster comedy toward the consequences of Ichiro's supernatural fate.

What it feels like
The series should be presented as a supernatural shoujo romance, not an animal-care slice-of-life manga. Eru Yamada and vampire Ichiro Tanaka are the central pair; the werewolf teacher, invisible man and zombie boy are supporting supernatural complications.
