"This book reads from right to left, Japanese style"--Colophon.
"Originally published in Japan in 2012 by Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd., Tokyo.
A harem comedy but with a twist: the hot girls are a lamia (snake girl), a centaur, and a harpy, who live with a regular teenage boy. Monsters--they're real, and they want to date us! Three years ago, the world learned that harpies, centaurs, catgirls, and all manners of fabulous creatures are not merely fiction; they are flesh and blood--not to mention scale, feather, horn, and fang. Thanks to the "Cultural Exchange Between Species Act," these once-mythical creatures have assimilated into society, or at least, they're trying. When a hapless human teenager named Kurusu Kimihito is inducted as a "volunteer" into the government exchange program, his world is turned upside down. A snake-like lamia named Miia comes to live with him, and it is Kurusu's job to take care of her and make sure she integrates into his everyday life. Unfortunately for Kurusu, Miia is undeniably sexy, and the law against interspecies breeding is very strict. Even worse, when a ravishing centaur girl and a flirtatious harpy move in, what's a full-blooded teenage human with raging hormones to do?

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good and bawdy/filthy submitted by rhorsman on July 18, 2014, 3:43pm Monster Musume is refreshing in that it steps over the line into pure filth that so much manga disengeniously skirts. Without that, it would be another generic "harem-but-with-a-twist" series. We don't need a thousand series like MM (though knowing both Japan and what gets licensed over here that's almost certainly what we're going to get) but it's nice to have one.
