"Monster Musume" was originally a manga series that ran in Okayado. Seven Seas Entertainment, which licensed the series outside of Japan, describes the story as follows:

"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."

It goes on:

"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?!"

"Monster Musume" began airing July 7.
