Monster Musume is based on Okayado’s manga of the same name. The series was first revealed in March, with an announcement on the seventh collected manga volume. It was at that time that the first key visual for the show also came to light, which you can check out below:

The official Monster Musume anime website opened on April 18. The page’s grand opening was accompanied by an announcement of the cast for the show’s three leading ladies:

  • Miia: Sora Amamiya
  • Papi: Ami Koshimizu
  • Centorea: Natsuki Aikawa

The series will hit Japanese airwaves in July. Seven Seas currently releases the Oyakodo’s original manga in North America. They describe the series as follows:

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?!

Three character visuals are currently available, which you can check out below.
