Anticipation has certainly been there when it comes to the release of the seventh volume of Monster Musume in Japan, which hits this Friday, as many were hoping that the wraparound on it would talk about it getting an anime adaptation as the series has done quite well. Those hopes were met, and with surprising speed, as OKAYADO’s manga is getting an anime adaptation this summer according to the flyer that came along with it. While it’s not unusual to have a series get announced with that short of a public window, usually there’s a couple of seasons between announcement and debut. The summer season certainly seems ideal for this series.
Seven Seas Entertainment is currently releasing the manga in North America and they’ve just released the sixth volume themselves, having caught up quickly to the Japanese release side overall.
Plot concept: 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 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 young man with raging hormones to do?!
