Three years ago, the world learned that harpies, centaurs, cat girls, and all manners of fabulous creatures are not merely fiction; they are in fact of 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 are 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 flirtatious harpy named Papi and a ravishing centaur girl, Centorea Shianus, move in, what should a teenage human with raging hormones do?! Note: The first two episodes premiered at a special event on 27.06.2015. Regular airing started on 08.07.2015.

Episode 1: Everyday Life with a Lamia
Runtime: 25 minutes
Air Date: 2015-06-27
Kurusu Kimihito has found himself host to a beautiful lamia named Miia under the Cultural Exchange Between Species Act. She has taken quite a liking to him, despite the prohibition against interspecies breeding in the law. Life with her is rough in more ways than one, as she many times inadvertently strangles or knocks him about, and she constantly tries to seduce him, which would be prohibited by law. There is still a lot of prejudice against monsters in the human population. One day, as they go out into town, a pair of bigots insults Kimihito for his hosting a monster like Miia, which angers her, and she tries to attack them, but is stopped by Kimihito, who receives the blow instead. This attracts the attention of a crowd, and so the two are chased into a love hotel, where they are stopped from having a sexual liaison by Ms. Smith, the government official overseeing them. As they leave they see the same pair of bigots again, who this time insult Miia, which leads Kimihito to punch them.

Episode 2: Everyday Life with a Harpy and Centaur
Runtime: 25 minutes
Air Date: 2015-06-27
Kimihito's troubles are just beginning as he is abducted from his backyard by a harpy, who drops him into a tree in a public park. The harpy, named Papi, had already escaped from two previous host families and is on the point of being deported, but she is such a literal bird-brain that she doesn't seem to understand what this means. Miia finds them and takes exception to Papi's attentions to her "darling" Kimihito, but in the meantime a child has gotten stuck in a tree and Papi helps save her. A policeman comes by in response to the incident, though it has been resolved, and asks for Papi's papers after Kimihito claims to be her host. Ms. Smith comes by with these papers, explaining that she actually planned to send Papi to Kimihito after she ran away from her previous host families.
A few days later as Papi is getting settled in his home, Kimihito goes for groceries early in the morning, when he sees a centaur named Centorea. A snatcher is abroad in the neighbourhood, and they watch as the thief steals a woman's purse, making his getaway on a scooter. Centorea, outraged, chases after the thief, dragging Kimihito along for the ride, as it is illegal for monsters like her to harm humans. They eventually catch the thief, and Centorea is so impressed by Kimihito that she declares him her "master".

Kimihito finds that the three monster girls have difficulty getting along, and he is in the middle. At one point the fighting between them gets so out of hand that Ms. Smith has to intervene, but she winds up shooting Kimihito with the tranquilliser darts instead. The girls are chastened by the incident and promise to behave themselves, while Kimihito declares that they are supposed to be like family. After receiving Centorea's application forms Smith offhandedly mentions that there are some amendments to the law that are coming that will legalise inter-species marriage, but forgets to mention that it is a night of a full moon. That night the full moon combined with all the talk of marriage makes all the three girls crazy, and Kimihito has to flee from them and it is only when he falls onto a bottle of ketchup making them all think he was killed that they sober up. The next morning, Kimihito, sporting bandages from the rough night, says that it is his fault for being indecisive, and promises to date all three of them with an eye to marriage.

Suu, dried out from being outside proceeds to molest the other three girls in an attempt to gain moisture. The government people who come by however don't seem out to arrest someone, but seem to be construction people who make more alterations to the house. Kimihito goes out to find the girls and gets hit by a girl on a wheelchair heading down the slope named Mero, who saw where they had gone.
Mero, who turns out to be a mermaid, is yet another monster girl put under Kimihito's care, and the construction work at the house, which added a deep pool, was for her benefit. Smith tells them that with so much work to do she can't really be bothered to worry about Suu. The girls have varied reactions to their new housemate, with Papi nonplussed and Centorea impressed by her regal bearing, but Miia is jealous and behaves churlishly. Later, Miia dives into the new pool after Mero and Kimihito, nearly drowning, but after she is rescued she apologises for her rudeness and Mero explains how she has no plans to marry Kimihito but rather wishes for a tragic romance like the Little Mermaid's.

She brings him to a warehouse where she torments him, certain that he will affirm her misanthropic outlook as she had been mistreated by many humans before, but this does not faze him, and he even finds her spider form sexually alluring.

Runtime: 25 minutes
Air Date: 2015-08-26

One night, Rachnera enters Kimihito's room as he sleeps, seals the door and traps him in a web, intending to seduce him, but Centorea intervenes, breaking open the door and running away from the house with him. She attracts stares out in the street, and when they get to a dark area a group of anti-monster bigots confronts them. They restrain Kimihito and attempt to molest Centorea, but Rachnera intervenes, and wraps them in her silk, and terrifies them out of their wits. Centorea, though thankful, openly proclaims her dislike for Rachnera, but they try to get along regardless.
Later, Kimihito falls ill with the flu, which Smith regards as a danger to all the monster girls as it could mutate and produce a pandemic affecting all their species. The girls are mostly forbidden to attempt to care for him, but Suu will clearly not be affected. They try to teach her the various ways they intend to nurse him back to health, with mixed results. Suu later cares for him herself in her own way, and after he gets well, she explains in an uncharacteristic long and coherent speech how she is sorry that she caused him to get so sick by making him pick her up when she went outside on a rainy day, and declares that she loves him too.

Runtime: 25 minutes
Air Date: 2015-09-02
Kimihito seems to be going on a date with Ms. Smith, much to the consternation of all the girls. They follow them around, with Suu providing disguises for each of them, but they wind up in compromising situations as they do this. It turns out that they were on a plan to smoke out the sender of threatening letters that Kimihito has received, saying that if he marries someone he will die.
The date with Ms. Smith failed to smoke out the perpetrator, so they arrange a date with Miia, with Mero tagging along. They go to a public aquarium where Mero is treated like a celebrity, and the attention Kimihito seems to be giving her irritates Miia enough that she eventually walks out on him. A reptilian monster tries to console her and eventually declares that as a fellow reptile he is more appropriate to marry her than Kimihito, saying he is Draco the Dragonewt. Kimihito runs to save Miia before Draco can do more, and reveals that Draco is actually female.

Episode 10: Everyday Life with D
Runtime: 25 minutes
Air Date: 2015-09-09
Kimihito continues going on dates with the girls in an attempt to smoke out the writer of the threatening letters. He goes out this time with Papi and Suu, and they go for a barbecue picnic in a wild forest near Mt. Fuji. They are attacked by a giant tree monster, a dryad whom Papi had befriended named Kii, grown large due to the illegal dumping of experimental nutrients in the area, the pollution giving her a hatred of humans. Suu also absorbs some of the nutrients and grows just as large as Kii and begins fighting with her. Kimihito manages to get Kii to calm down and shrink back down to normal size after sucking on her breasts. Kii also cannot be the author of the threatening letters as she is completely illiterate.
Next, Kimihito goes on a date with Centorea, who goes out in full battle gear, which Manako, who is to watch over them, points out will probably frighten away the letter writer. Her large size causes her to break things as they go around, and she is depressed because she always seems to just be making trouble for Kimihito. They have a picnic where she gives some flavourless sandwiches that Kimihito is too nice to comment on, but Rachnera points this out and this depresses her even more, so she goes for a walk by herself for a moment. She meets the mischievous succubus Lilith who uses her powers on Centorea, saying that there is something she can do for Kimihito, which removes her inhibitions and she tries to seduce him, letting him fondle her breasts. Meanwhile, Lilith is attacked by a wild boar in the park, breaking the spell before it goes too far, and it later turns on Kimihito but Centorea manages to subdue it. Rachnera has afterwards captured Lilith, believing she might be the letter writer, but after torturing her Rachnera learns that she isn't responsible.

Kimihito receives a second threatening letter, more poetic than the first, and the members of MON go on a date with him in a final attempt to smoke out the writer. After a number of embarrassing situations with them they notice someone following, and it turns out to be none other than Doppel, who wrote the first letter in an attempt to make Kimihito's love progress towards one of the girls, but it instead caused his relationships to all of them to deepen. She did not write the second letter though.
On his way home Kimihito is confronted by a headless woman, whom he brings home, and was apparently the author of the second letter. The girls help him look for her head, except for Rachnera and Suu, who remain behind to watch her body. They eventually find the disembodied head in the park, which makes strange noises as Rachnera and Suu molest her body.

The girls are in a panic after the dullahan's declaration that Kimihito will soon die, and they try their best to get him away, with Papi flying into an electric sign while carrying him, Centorea dragging him behind as she runs, being nearly drowned by Mero, and inadvertently strangled by Miia. Kimihito, however, is nonplussed, and recognises the dullahan's ominous declarations for what they are: delusions of someone suffering from "8th-grader syndrome" (chuunibyou), which Ms. Smith later confirms, She reveals the dullahan's name to be Lala, and she too becomes a guest of Kimihito.
With the addition of yet another monster girl to his household Kimihito finds that he is in dire financial straits, as all the food is gone, and he has little money left. They go to the shopping district to get some food, and the shopkeepers kindly give them less than perfect merchandise that they are unable to sell, but is perfectly edible. Kimihito also goes back to the forest where Kii lives, and they collect wild vegetables, with Suu being able to distinguish the poisonous ones from the safe ones. Thus with a well-stocked larder he is able to get by, until Smith shows up with the MON girls and they manage to eat all the food they so painstakingly gathered. Smith later informs Kimihito that he could have applied for reimbursement for his guests' food expenses, so he went through all that hard work for nothing.
