Unbelievably average student Tsukune Aono enrolls in Yokai Academy, due to failing all his entrance exams. He quickly befriends the beautiful Moka Akashiya, who he discovers is a vampire attracted to the sweet taste of his blood; his is O Negative, a rare type. Adding to his shock, Tsukune discovers the school is for monsters to learn how to live in peace with humanity by disguising themselves as people. Once Moka learns of Tsukune's true identity, both decide it doesn't matter what they are as both wish to be friends. During a scuffle with troublemaker Saizo Kamiya, Tsukune also learns that the rosario Moka wears seals another, more cold and combative personality; the rosario seal would then only be unlocked in dire situations. Despite the fact Yokai's rules state that any human who sees the school is to be slain, to maintain utter secrecy about monsters, Tsukune decides to stay due to his infatuation with Moka.

Over the passing days, Tsukune and Moka make more friends in Kurumu Kurono (a succubus who originally planned to turn the boys into her own harem), Yukari Sendo (a lonely, genius witch who pulled pranks against students predujice towards her) and Ginei Morioka (a werewolf who tried to pursue Moka by framing Tsukune as a peeping tom to break them up), joining the Newspaper Club with them. They also defeated Lizardmen that hated Yukari, and Mermaids trying to suck the life-force out boys.

With his birthday drawing near, Tsukune wanted to ask Moka out to confess his feelings for her. However, Moka has promised to model for the art teacher, Hitomi Ishigami, and the rest of their friends showed up at the most inconvenient times. At the same time, female students had been disappearing from the school; Tsukune came across a crying statue in Ishigami's classroom, later discovering it resembled the latest missing girl. Ishigami was a gorgon obsessed with turning beautiful girls to stone to preserve their beauty as art. Tsukune managed to rescue Moka from this fate, but fell victim himself. Moka landed a powerful blow to Ishigami's head, breaking the spell and cracking the deranged art teacher's head open. Tsukune awoke on his birthday, but was unable to confess his feelings to Moka as the rest of the News Club arrived to celebrate with him.

Kurumu later rescues the draft for the July edition of the newspaper from a slug monster that tried to blackmail her into taking embaressing cosplay photos. The experience showed how deep the bond between them all is, as everyone forgave Kurumu once they learned the reason she was skipping club activities.

!!Tropes:
* AllForNothing: Kurumu snaps when Tsukune rejects her, feeling like the lengths that she went to to try and beat Moka were for nothing because of him.
* AndIMustScream:
** When under Kurumu's hypnotic gaze, Tsukune's thoughts are free to be horrified by his actions as his body plays along with her flirting and break Moka's heart.
** The stream of fresh tears flowing from Ishigami's victims imply that they are fully conscious when they are TakenForGranite.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Ginei in "Coexistence" presents himself as a handsome gentlemen (bringing Moka, Kurumu and Nekonome bouquets of roses as a welcome gift), when really he's nothing but a pervert who routinely spies on girls and then frames Tsukune for his own crimes so that he could have Moka and Kurumu to himself.
* ComicallyLopsidedRivalry: PlayedForDrama. Kurumu seducing Tsukune was her way of "declaring war" on Moka for seducing all the boys in school, when really Moka is a [[CluelessChickMagnet Clueless Dude Magnet]] who only has eyes for Tsukune and everyone else's attraction to her is completely out of her control.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Moka beats her and Tsukune has her spare her life, it is then that Kurumu decides that he's [[OneTrueLove the one]] and becomes Moka's official love-rival for real.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: In "Coexistence", Ginei frames Tsukune by tricking him into looking into the girl's locker room. When he's caught, he is chased down by the irate girls. By the time Moka finds them, he has been tied up with rope with his face beaten bloody and is later locked in a storage room by Ginei. While it's still PlayedForDrama, it's more than what happens to any of the female characters, who are either meat-shielded by a chivalrous Tsukune or (in Moka's case) has her rosario removed before their victimizers try anything with them.
* FantasticRacism: Monsters have a general distate towards humans (see FelonyMisdemeanor for context), but Moka dislikes them because she was routinely bullied at humans schools her whole life. It is not until she gets to know Tsukune better [[FormerBigot does this opinion change]].
* FelonyMisdemeanor: It is established that while Yokai Academy was founded to help acclimate monsters to live among humans, any human that were to find their way into the school's borders (by accident or intentionally) would be executed on the spot. This encourages Tsukune to try and leave, only to decide to stay and pretend to be a monster at the end of the episode when Moka promises to keep it a secret (and because the bus won't return for another month).
* FrameUp: In "Coexistence", Ginei frames Tsukune for his various crimes, Kurumu and Yukari managing to clear his name with their own internal investigation and printed fliers.
* HaremSeeker: Kurumu has been using her sex appeal and HypnoticEyes to collect every boy in school to be her own personal band of male groupies, using every trick she can think of to add Tsukune to her collection.
* HearingVoices: Inner Moka starts talking to Outer Moka through her rosario to explain how everything thing Tsukune has been saying has been the product of Kurumu's hypnosis.
* HateSink: Among the various chapter-length antagonists in the Arc, Nagare has to be the most despicable. He blackmails Kurumu with alleged photographs of her in a compromising position and forces her to attend their own private photoshoot of her in sexy outfits against her will. She proceeds to increase the number of things to blackmail her with (like her own personal thoughts and the newspaper's layout and data. When she stands up for herself, [[NightmareFuel he tries knocking her out with his toxic gas and tries to sexually assault her when she tries getting away]], boasting that he intends on doing the same to Moka once he's done with her like he has with so many other girls. It's no wonder he was kept out of the LighterAndSofter anime.
* KillItWithWater: In "Going Clubbing" , it's revealed that vampires cannot touch untreated water without being painfully shocked.
* LecherousLicking: Saizo is seen doing this at the thought of [[ToServeMan eating humans]] and at the sight of Moka.
* MeetCute: Tsukune meets Moka when she crashes her bike into him when he gets lost in the woods.
* MonsterOfTheWeek:
** "The School Vampire" features Saito, a bully and an unidentified hulking monster who desires Moka and is willing to kill Tsukune and take Moka by force if he felt the need to.
** "Kurumu of Black Dreams" has Kurumu, a succubus who tries to charm Tsukune to add to her harem to spite Moka.
** "Going Clubbing" has the Swimming Club and its president Tamao Ichinose, [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaids]] who [[SchoolClubFront lured various members of the student body so that they could suck the life out of them]].
** "Coexisting" has Ginei Morioka, president of the Newspaper Club and a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]] that [[FrameUp frames]] Tsukune for his various perverted antics.
** "Love is a Witch" has Tsukune and his harem defending Yukari against LizardFolk who use her violation in dress code and her liberal use of magic as an excuse to exercise their FantasticRacism against witches onto Yukari.
** "The Art of the Birthday" has Hitomi Ishigami, U.A.'s Art teacher and a {{Medusa}} that has been turning students to stone to be her own human sculptures
** "Deadline!" features Nagare Kano, a Madslug and serial stalker who forces Kurumu to go out with him through blackmail.
* NotGoodWithRejection: When Tsukune decides she would rather apologize to Moka than be with Kurumu and lets her down gently, her response is to extend her wings and claws to [[DisproportionateRetribution kill him]], not wanting to be bested by Moka.
* PoorCommunicationKills: In "Going Clubbing", Tsukune joins the Swimming Club because he wanted to impress Moka (unaware that water is harmful to her), while Moka thinks he joined because she thinks he wants to leer at other girls in bikinis. It is not until Inner Moka is hit with a splash of water does he find out the truth.
* PowerLimiter: It is established that Moka's rosario acts as this. Tsukune is the only one who can take it off, and when it does, the all-powerful Inner Moka is released.
* ToServeMan:
** Moka has never had fresh blood before tasting Tsukune and confesses that she finds it irresistible.
** Saizo thinks that food is all that humans are good for.
* WhatTheHellHero: In "Going Clubbing", after defeating Tamao, Inner Moka slaps Tsukune and proceeds to chew him out for even getting in the water with her in the first place, especially since seeing him with Tamao ''really'' hurt Outer Moka's feelings. Her exact words are as follows:
-->'''Inner Moka''': You listen to me. You don't understand a single thing about her, so don't pretend like you do. You're a little boy who can't think of anyone but himself. Consider ''her'' feelings sometime.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Kurumu's favorite tactic to feign a pain her her chest, giving her victim (in this case Tsukune) an incentive to give her all his attention and then use her [[BigBreastPride breasts]] and HypnoticEyes to ensnare him.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: When Outer Moka confesses that she is a vampire to Tsukune, it is before he realizes that Yokai Academy is populated by ''actual'' monsters and he brushes this off as be either being crazy or an {{Otaku}}.
