OKAYADO’s manga series Monster Musume has a lot of anticipation behind it and while we’ve got a bit to go before we actually get to see it in action, the marketing side is going to be stepping up in the next few weeks. And one area where it can excel in getting fans excited is through the magazine spreads and information that will be coming up with it. As such, a new character visual has surfaced for Papi, which you can see larger below, and there’s even a minor nod to the other two in there, though you might miss them at first.
With a planned summer 2015 debut in July, it’s now been revealed that the series will be directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara based on the overall series composition and scripting by Kazuyuki Fueyasu. Tatsuya Sunagawa is doing double duty as the animation director and character designer and the series is going to be animated at Lerche and Seva.
Cast reveals are expected to roll out over time and the first three announced have Sora Amamiya as Miia, Ami Koshimizu as Papi and Natsuki Aikawa as Centorea.
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?!
