STRANGE PATHS Life is full of journeys for Himeno and her friends. A trip to Science City leads to a mysterious train ride through the mountains. Then there’s the class trip to the ancient floating city of Kyoto. Meanwhile, it’s time to start thinking about what to do after high school—a journey none of them are quite ready to take!

LET’S GET PHYSICAL Sports Day comes to Shin Kanata High School! Himeno’s centaur body offers both advantages and challenges, but Himeno is determined to succeed…even if it means wearing a boy’s uniform! The other students show off their own abilities as well. Meanwhile, the Tutulitele Universal Alliance Central Committee takes up a petition from the Meameateles for political rights—a move that could dramatically transform this entire society.

THERE’S A FUNGUS AMONG US! When Kanoko asked Akemi to keep an eye out for a special mushroom—it’s said to make a person kind if they drink from a bowl containing it—Akemi didn’t think anything more of it. But these are no ordinary fungi. A mysterious conspiracy begins to unfold in the charming, everyday world of A Centaur’s Life.

A FRAGILE PEACE The war is over and there is finally peace between the mammalian humans and the Amphibianfolk. But now the two very different cultures must learn to live together. Back in Japan, Himeno and the other girls enjoy a bit of a break and explore the mysterious Mitama Shrine.

FIGHTING IN THE CLASSROOM! Himeno’s world is full of all kinds of creatures, from angelfolk to dog people to centaurs like herself. But the various races don’t always get along, as proven when a terrorist group takes over Shin Kanata High School! If Himeno and her classmates are to escape, they will have to put aside their differences and work together…

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT? The girls take a lighthearted field trip to an onsen, but elsewhere in the world, things are getting complicated! The Amphibianfolk’s war is taking on some surprising turns, and while business may be booming at the Mitama shrine, it’s all due to the looming threat of a kaiju.
