A Centaur's Life★ 61%Synopsis
Himeno is a sweet, shy girl, who struggles with the high school life. The difference is she's a centaur; but she's not alone. In fact, all of her classmates are supernatural creatures, sporting horns, wings, tails, halos, or some other unearthly body appendage. Yet despite their fantastical natures, Himeno and her best friends are down-to-earth, fun-loving teenagers who grapple with issues of life and love. (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
