Story and art by Gaku Kuze.

How did the cynical Uramichi end up hosting a TV show for small children? And how long is the studio going to let him keep teaching the kids the sorrow and exhaustion of life instead of, say, the ABCs?

This dark comedy manga started as a webcomic and became a bestseller across Japan -- with an anime coming soon!

Despite his best efforts, Uramichi continues to find himself at the mercy of the outrageous demands of his fellow coworkers and management. Whether it's looking after someone's pet or younger sibling, or drumming up new designs for Hanbei's merch, the paths to escape responsibility are too few and far between.

Then, just as he's reaching for a lifeline during one of his most grueling days yet, his old college acquaintance Nekota appears. Could someone with such a different take on adulthood be Uramichi's salvation?

Monsters in mini-skirts! Monster Musume is an all-new manga series that presents the classic harem comedy with a fantastical twist: the female cast of characters that tempts our male hero is comprised of exotic and enticing supernatural creatures like lamias, centaurs and harpies! 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?!
