The story revolves around Tsukune Aono, a boy with poor grades who accidentally enrolls into Yokai Academy, a special school inhabited by monsters, and demons where humans are not allowed.

The anime is loosely based on the first nineteen chapters of the manga and focuses more on the romantic comedy aspect and the "monster of the week" motif that was previously featured in tokusatsu shows, as well as some rare occasions of breaking the fourth wall.

The series became notorious for its excessive use of fanservice, mainly in the form of panty shots, which resulted in the second season being censored on two networks,[1] as well as angering many fans of the original manga.

[citation needed] Two seasons, consisting of thirteen episodes each, were produced by Gonzo under the directorship of Takayuki Inagaki.

[10] The anime is licensed in North America by Funimation Entertainment,[11] and it released both seasons on December 20, 2011.
