Daily Life with Monster Girl/Characters

Kimihito Kurusu

 * Accidental Pervert: Most of the time, though he tends to get the crap beaten out of him less than most harem leads.
 * Affectionate Nickname: Miia: Darling, Papi: Husband (Boss in the official translations), Centorea/Suu: Master, Mero: Sir (Beloved in the official translations), Rachnera: Honey, Tionishia: Sweetie, Zombina: Babe, and Manako: Dear.
 * Only Known by Their Nickname: His actual name is rarely mentioned.
 * Always Save the Girl: Chronic believer in this.
 * A Man Is Not A Virgin: Averted. It becomes obvious when the girls undergo a case of Lunacy.
 * Badass
 * Badass Normal: Is willing to withstand direct assaults to protect his fellow haremettes, even if they would be hurt less than him.
 * Beware The Nice Ones: A real nice guy most of the time. Just don't threaten anyone he cares about or you will be laid out for your trouble.
 * Blank White Eyes: His default look. His actual eyes are only shown during serious moments.
 * Brick Joke: An early admission from him that he's a "leg man" becomes important when he meets Rachnera, who assumes he cares little for her monstrous half, until
 * Celibate Hero: Tries pretty hard to remain this way, especially because legally he's supposed to be with monster girls, at least initially. Is given a chance to defy this legally with him being asked to marry one of the monster girls, but refuses. Regardless, it takes him extreme efforts of will not to give into temptation at times.
 * Crazy Prepared: Produces a garbage bag to catch a water crazed Suu at one point, and carries around a needle and thread, just in case, which becomes unexpectedly handy when
 * Fee Fi Faux Pas: Tries to avoid getting certain foods like fish and poultry to not offend Mero and Papi, but both are not offended in the slightest, with the former citing fish to her is as normal as cows and pigs to humans, and Papi does have a problem with eating other birds.
 * Got Volunteered: Ms. Smith has turned him into her "problem child dropoff center". Miia and Mero were intentionally left with him, but Papi and Lala were added due to running away from their other handlers, Centorea and Rachnera had bad earlier experiences with humans, and Suu is a legal question mark that is staying with him in lieu of a better idea. So far, he's proven fit for the task.
 * Kubrick Stare: The look on his face when he's really upset.
 * Made Of Iron: Kinda needed trait, given the insanity he has to deal with concerning his fellow boarders. Unfortunately, he's victim to so many accidental injuries due to this you kinda have to feel sorry for him.
 * Meaningful Name: His given name means "public figure".
 * Megaton Punch: His signature asskicking move.
 * Nice Guy: It for this reason he has the respect of every member of his monster girl harem, and even Ms. Smith regards him as reliable due to being her (involuntary) troubleshooter for problem child homestays.
 * Old Shame: His younger days, which involved flight of fancy with him attempting [[Rule of Cool|to try out as many tropes regarding coolness as possible].
 * Only Sane Man: The only person with any authority over anyone who is fairly level headed most of the time.
 * Real Men Wear Pink: Almost to House Husband extremes, which makes him invaluable to the rest of his boarders.
 * Rescue Romance: Every single monster girl under his charge has either been rescued by him at one point or another, resulting in this, or an upgrade to their already present bond with him.
 * Unfazed Everyman: Takes most of the weirder aspects of monsters totally in stride, a fact many of his haremettes (Rachnera especially) find attractive about him.

Ms. Smith
Kimihito's cultural exchange coordinator. Very slovenly and uses him a dropoff point for her more troublesome cases.
 * Beleaguered Bureaucrat: Justified. She's overworked, underpaid, and undermanned most of the time.
 * Badass: Not too shabby with a tranquilzer gun.
 * Hot Chick in a Badass Suit
 * Cool Shades
 * The Glasses Come Off: Only off duty or when pissed off on duty.
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: She's isn't the time to openly show it, but she does want the best for all the monster girls she finds homes for.
 * Idiot Houdini: Most of the time suffers no repercussions for her laziness,
 * Last-Name Basis: With basically everyone, in any situation.
 * Must Have Caffeine: Her Trademark Favorite Food. Justified, given her work load.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: Zig zagged. She generally regards Kimihito as someone to dump all of her problem children cases on, is lazy as hell, and acts pretty irresponsible. On the other hand, Kimihito is usually the best option for dealing with said problem children cases (and in some cases chose him to make sure they'd be in good hands) and generally does her job professionally and competently when not slacking off.
 * She's Got Legs: Her self professed best feature. Kimihito agrees.
 * The Ladette: Very unladylike to the point her cleaning skills are nonexistent and her manners are rather coarse.
 * Trash of the Titans: Just look at her apartment.
 * Victoria's Secret Compartment: Where she keeps her.

The Racist Couple

 * Asshole Victims: Kimihito takes none of their shit and doesn't hesitate to kick their ass.
 * Attempted Rape: The male almost does this to . Or he would have, had Rachnera not made him regret considering it.
 * Dark-Skinned Blond: The woman of the pair.
 * Fantastic Racism: To the point they come off as stock straw bigots against monster girls in general.
 * Gonk: Ugly as hell by both human and monster standards.
 * Jerkass: They're assholes to EVERYONE.
 * Laser-Guided Karma: nd they always wind up suffering for it.
 * Those Two Guys: Stock bigot pair that shows up to be assholes is their raison d'etre.

Bicycle Cop

 * By-The-Book Cop
 * Cowardly Lion

The Director

 * Bullying a Dragon: Had Rachnera under his control briefly, and was stupid enough to think she wouldn't make him pay for being an asshole.
 * Con Man: Faked being a documentary producer in order to pull of a scam gathering monster girl leavings like Papi's egg and Miia's sheddings to sell for profit.

Ren Kunanzuki
Daughter of Rachnera's first host family, tries to readopt her


 * The Atoner: She wanted to readopt Rachnera out of guilt for her parents selling her.
 * Determinator: The other monster girls put her through a series of challenges to see if she was worthy of readopting Rachera. She wnet through them all without stopping. Including an attempt to eat Miia's latest dish.

Kimihito's Harem

 * A Dog Named "Dog": The names are all named in some way after their base species.
 * Because You Were Nice to Me: Kimihito has made every girl fall for him in some way thanks to this.
 * Miia: Goes out of his way to treat her normally and shows her extreme concern when he realizes she can't handle cold temperatures and works to compensate for that.
 * Papi: Rescued her from falling after she rescued a child, lied to a cop, pretending to be her host to prevent her deportation.
 * Centorea: Took a direct hit for her defending her from a mugger.
 * Suu: Showed her hospitality despite having no reason to and saved her from death by dissolution.
 * Mero: Saved her not once but twice, all before she formally moved in. Turned out it was Secret Test of Character anyway, which he passed with flying colors.
 * Rachnera: Treated her normally despite the fact she kidnapped him, even went as far as to charm her with his honest appreciation for her spider legs.
 * Lala: Was extremely understanding about her eccentricities.
 * Cute Monster Girl
 * Does Not Know His Own Strength: Kimihito has gotten hurt by his haremettes on occasion due to their inability discipline their strength.
 * Foil: Miia vs. Mero, Papi vs. Suu, and Centorea vs. Rachnera. So far, Lala seems to be the odd one out.
 * My Significance Sense Is Tingling: All of them (save Papi) have some degree of sense that something unpleasant (like another rival appearing) is happening.
 * No Sense of Personal Space: All of them to varying degrees, with Suu taking this Up to Eleven.
 * The Three Faces of Eve: Miia and Rachnera primarily act as the Seductresses, Papi and Suu and the Children, and Mero and Centorea as the Wives, though they all take turns embodying different aspects of this trope. Lala (so far) fits none of the above.

Miia
The first monster girl to move in with Kimihito. She's a lamia.


 * Bare Your Midriff: Partially intentional due to her being a snake woman. She even mentions her waist is her best feature.
 * Blatant Lies: Tries (badly) to convince the other girls Kimihito is hers on the grounds First Girl Wins.
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Notable for being the clingiest of them all.
 * Cuddle Bug: Althougth this tends to hurt Kimihito, as her version of a hug is wrapping around him like a boa constrictor, with all the pain that would imply, though she is honestly doing so out of love.
 * Cute Little Fangs: Shown during her most adorable moments.
 * Fangirl: Of the Metal Gear series.
 * Fantastic Arousal: The tip of her tail is incredibly sensitive, as ioss her skin when shedding.
 * Fiery Redhead: Both in a literal and figurative sense.
 * First Girl Wins: Seems to be the case so far.
 * Girly Bruiser: She's definitely athletic, though she's also the type that likes to put her feminine wiles on display most of the time.
 * Hellish Pupils: Slitted pupils, which are given since she's a snake woman.
 * Hot Blooded: Very passionate in most things despite being cold-blooded.
 * Imagine Spot: Prone to these.
 * Immodest Orgasm: Does this when shedding or when her tail tip is stimulated.
 * Lethal Chef: Partially due to ignorance and partially due to her biology. She's not very good at cooking to begin with, even when forced to use a recipe, and thanks to her biology (she's a carnivore with a fraction of the tastebuds human have), her sense of taste is utterly skewed.
 * Logical Weakness: Cold temperatures slow her down and immobilizes her since she's a snake.
 * Loveable Sex Maniac: Really wants to get in Kimihito's pants, laws against it be damned.
 * Marshmallow Hell: A partial consequence of her Cuddle Bug tendencies, though sometimes done deliberately to Kimihito.
 * Nightmare Face: When her face is framed in shadow it looks pretty creepy. Also, her normal face can be scary depending on the situation, especially if she lets her [[Overly Long Tongue|long tongue hang out at full length.
 * Overly Long Tongue: Classic snake feature, though it's humanoid, not a reptilian tongue.
 * Pointed Ears: Again, reptilian style, though they function like human ears.
 * Snake People
 * Snakes Are Sexy: And she knows it.
 * Super Strength: Like an actual boa constrictor, her tail (her body below her waist) is incredibly strong.
 * The Tease: Tries to seduce Kimihito every chance she gets.
 * Tsundere: Type B. Nice enough to Kimihito, but gets pissy around her romantic rivals.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Decapitated Heads?: Lala's removable head scares Miia pretty bad.
