Daily Life with Monster Girl

And this is only the first of many monster girls......

Daily Life with Monster Girl (aka Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou) is a story about Kurusu Kimihito and the lamia he is hosting, a girl named Miia.

Three years ago, the government revealed the existence of monsters to the world and began working to integrate the two societies. Just like human cultural exchange programs, some humans have been sent to live with monsters, while some monsters are now living with humans. Due to an error, Miia ended up at Kimihito's house by mistake, but her case worker is too lazy to fix it. Over time, Miia ended up falling for Kimihito, but due to the laws governing the cultural exchange program, if they ever consummate their relationship, she'll be sent back to her own country.

This manga is a Bleached Underpants work based on the author's previous online hentai manga shorts, Living with Monster Girl.

An anime adaptation aired from July to September 2015.

Tropes used in Daily Life with Monster Girl include:

• Aborted Arc: The whole "can't have relationships with extra species" seems to have been completely dropped without any warning. Despite one of the biggest hurdles in the beginning of the manga in newer chapters it is not odd to see Extraspecies girls in relationships with their hosts or even having dating meet ups set up at conventions or spas.
• Accidental Marriage: A rule of centaur society is that only one they accept as their master can ride on their back, something Kimihito only learns after the fact.
• Badass: Kimihito himself has fought for the honor of the other girls more than one with impressive results.
  • Amazon Brigade: MON is a deliberate version, with Kimihito's harem forming a second one (though as of Chapter 22, they might wind up cross pollinating in the future).
  • Badass Normal: Kimihito and Sumisu are surprisingly formidable despite being frail humans, especially the former.
  • World of Action Girls: Almost all of the female cast has some offensive capability.
• Adorkable: Mero and Centorea tend to have some geeky moments
• All Myths Are True: The monsters themselves are more or less accurate to myth, but the exact details of each are sometimes either not true at all or have been embellished.
• All Women Are Lustful: Carried over faithfully from more explicit monster girl works into this series, though watered down somewhat. Still doesn't change the fact practically every monster girl with the slightest interest in Kimihito wants to get into his pants to some greater or lesser extent.
• Amusing Injuries: Kimihito usually subverts this, being slightly frailer than the girls, though he's gotten a few moments of pain as comedy. Zombina is a frequent target, given her immunity to pain.
• Artistic License: Biology: The obvious fantastical parts of the premise aside, somewhat averted, as the monster girls all have logical weaknesses based on what they derive from, such as Miia's inability to handle cold due to being a snake woman.
• Artistic License: Law: The law is more than a little skewed. Basically, humans and monsters can't fight each other, and this effectively hamstrings regular law enforcement (which it wouldn't IRL), which is why third parties like MON have to exist.
• Audience Participation: New monster girls are added based in part on reader demand.
• Beauty Equals Goodness: Most of the clear villains have been unpleasant to look at, but some of the monster girls aren't exactly all sweetness and light regardless of their attractiveness.
• Bleached Underpants: As noted in the description, most of the well-known Monster Girl works are far more explicit.
• Can't Have Sex Ever: Not without Miia getting kicked out of the country, anyway. Note that real-life exchange programs usually have that policy.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Miia after Papi entered Kimihito's household.
• Cute Monster Girl: In this 'verse, all the monsters count.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Miia tends to strangle or constrict Kimihito to the breaking point by accident. Kimihito even reacts to her friendly pats on the back like he's getting punched.
• Drunk on Coffee: Like real spiders, caffeine causes Rachnera to become drunk.
  • In Vino Veritas: While she's buzzed, Rachnera reveals that she really does appreciate Kimihito's honest caring.
• Ecchi: There is topless nudity and lots of fanservice, but nothing more racy than that.
• Fantastic Arousal: Tails for lamias.
• Fantastic Racism: Towards the monster girls. And if they retaliate, they get kicked out of the country. Though in fairness, it goes both ways.
• Got Volunteered: Kimihito didn't sign up to be a host, but no one cares.
• Harem: As of Chapter 3. Chances are, more Cute Monster Girls are on the way.
• Harping on About Harpies: Papi who appears in Chapter 3.
• Imagine Spot: Kimihito has one where he almost consummates his relationship with Miia, only for a SWAT team to break into his house and point guns at him. Later, when they end up in a love hotel, it actually happens.
• Innocent Fanservice Girl: Papi has no concept of modesty, as she dives into a fountain nude thinking it's a giant birdbath.
• Made of Iron: Kimihito. Good thing too, as living with a bunch of monster girls has proven rather hazardous.
• Mermaid Problem: Not an issue, but referenced by some hecklers.
• Nice Guy: Kimihito. It's why Miia (and everyone else) falls in love with him, to his (mis)fortune.
• Older Than They Look: Harpies tend to look like young teenagers even when fully grown for the sake of flight.
• Otaku/All Men Are Perverts: In one chapter Orcs are portrayed as violent perverted Otaku. Leaving viewers with little wonder why the Monster Girls would fall for human men like Kimihito.
• OVA: "Everyday Life When Rachnera Disappears"
• Shotgun Wedding: Miia's mom tried to make this happen, including the premarital sex part.
• Shout Out:
  • On several occasions, Metal Gear Solid is referenced. For example, Miia (the Lamia) imagining herself as a camouflaged secret agent, complete with Suu shape-shifted into a cardboard box.
  • When the girls try to imagine ways for a resort managed by Yukio the snow-woman to make more money, Meroune suggests making a musical, starring Yukio as a woman who can make ice and snow.
• Snakes Are Evil: Draco isn't exactly the nicest dragonewt woman around. Discussed in Chapter 26 when Miia inadvertently lampshade why the trope exists by acting evilly smug about the fact Rachnera might have to leave.
• Snake People: Lamiae such as Miia.
• Theme Naming: Most of the girls have names which are derived from their species.
• The Ditz: Papi tends to misremember important details, if she remembers them at all.

Kimihito: She's a birdbrain!

• The Tease: The sexual frustration resulting from the exchange program's prohibition of sex leads Miia to constantly tease Kimihito, hoping he'll make a move.
• The Unmasqued World: By story start, the world has been made aware of monster girls, and despite some teething problems, they are managing to integrate with the rest of the world fairly well.
• Tsundere: Miia's a Type B; she's sugary-sweet to Kimihito, but she can be violent when provoked.
• Unwanted Harem: Part of the series premise
• Winged Humanoid: Harpies such as Papi are the "wings-for-forelimbs" variation.
• Workout Fanservice: One of the OVA episodes is dedicated to this trope.
