The schoolgirls in Rosario + Vampire are nice and deserve to be fan favorites. But what of the two meganekko teachers, Ririko Kagome (left) and Shizuka Nekonome (right)?

Ririko is the lamia (top half a woman, bottom half a snake) who isn't actually evil. Ririko instead gets TOO extreme in her passion and methods for teaching her students (she tries to enslave Tsukune when he comes to her for help in math). As soon as she's defeated by Moka et. al., she becomes a friend, even if she's not seen much after that in the first season (I have both seasons, I just have to start watching them). She's voiced in Japanese by the lovely and prolific Aya Hisakawa (Shelley Calene-Black in English; I've liked her work since the days of ADV)

Since dA is cat-crazy now for April Fools' Day, let's also point out our catgirl homeroom teacher, Ms. Shizuka Nekonome, whom I've featured before. She's a happy-go-lucky type who is the most sympathetic to Tsukune being human. Just don't point out to her how badly she hides her tail and ears! Ms. Nekonome is voiced by the lovely and prolific Kikuko Inoue (Jamie Marchi in English; I love her in Desert Punk and Sgt. Frog).

These women are not only the most friendly to the academy's lone human Tsukune, they also look incredibly hot in the combo of glasses and bikinis. Enjoy!
