Early Season Recap
Before we dive into everything we need to know and expect from season 2 of Monster Musume. Let us have a brief recap of the first season.
The setting of the story happened in Japan where for many years, the government has kept hidden the existence of lamias, harpies, centaurs, and mermaids. The timeline where the story began is three years after the government has disclosed the secret of these creatures and has agreed to establish an ‘Interspecies Cultural Exchange Act. From then on, creatures that are called ‘liminals’, became a part of the human community by living with families just like student foreign exchange programs. However, there are some restrictions such as harming each other and procreating.
Somewhere in the Asaka, Saitama region, the main character Kimihito Kurusu was mistakenly given a responsibility by Kuruko Smith to host one of the criminals named Miia. Krause as a good person could not bear to send her away so he decided to live together. As the story progressed, Kurusu became a host to more and more female creatures with different species. The other creatures met him through accident or he was forced by Smith to take them in. It is a fun and exciting story as they struggle to live in one household in harmony while Kurusu is helping them get along in human society.
The story twist happened when the government changed the human-liminal relationship laws. The government approved of interspecies relationship and marriage and Kurusu became the selected test subject to marry one of the liminal girls. Knowing this, increased the tension and competition among the female creatures in his household.
