Synopsis
Human Tsukune enrolls at monster school, falls for vampire Moka, faces deadly rule: no humans allowed.
Youkai Academy is a seemingly normal boarding school, except that its pupils are monsters learning to coexist with humans. All students attend in human form and take normal academic subjects, such as literature, gym, foreign language, and mathematics. However, there is one golden rule at Youkai Academy—all humans found on school grounds are to be executed immediately! Tsukune Aono is an average teenager who is unable to get into any high school because of his bad grades. His parents inadvertently enroll him into Youkai Academy as a last-ditch effort to secure his education. As Tsukune unknowingly enters this new world, he has a run-in with the most attractive girl on campus, Moka Akashiya. Deciding to stay in the perilous realm in order to further his relationship with Moka, he does not realize that beneath her beauty lies a menacing monster—a vampire. Rosario to Vampire is a supernatural school comedy that explores Tsukune's romantic exploits, experiences, and misadventures with a bevy of beautiful but dangerous creatures.

- 9 “Rosario to Vampire is an anime centered on tsukune aono. The plot is good but I personally the manga is better. Overall I think that the ecchi scenes are too much and the annoying bat covers them....”
- 10 “I was watching this just now and realized how GENERIC it is. But that's good, because I personally believe it's kind of a comedy about how everything is done and how run of the mill everything...”
