The anime adaptation of Okayado’s Monster Musume (Everyday Life with Monster Girls) manga is one of the more popular series this season so there is no surprise that more is on the way. But, the final episode of the anime that aired earlier today may have already revealed that a second season has been confirmed.
During the 12th and final episode of Monster Musume, small sign can be seen at the 16:20 mark with the words “Niki Kettei”, which translates to “Season 2 Decided”. Though there is the “IF” at the top, which could hint to there being a possibility of a second season rather than a confirmation. Or it could just refer to “1F”, the 1st floor.z
There will be a total of 6 volumes being released with each volume containing 2 episodes each. The first volume, releasing on September 16 will contain episodes 1 and 2, along with: a textless Opening and Ending sequence, a priority pass for tickets for the special event in November, a special jacket, and a hidden voice command of Mia. The remaining volumes will release on:

- Volume 4 – December 16th with episodes 7 & 8

Monster Musume is currently published in Japan by Tokuma Shoten in their Monthly Comic Ryu magazine and by Seven Seas Entertainment in the United States, with the chapters collected and reprinted into—so far—6 tankobon volumes. The story revolves around Kimihito Kurusu, often referred to as “Darling” among various other things, a Japanese student whose life is totally thrown into turmoil after becoming involved with the “Interspecies Cultural Exchange” program by mistake.
Monster Musume synopsis from Haruhichan:
Monsters—they’re real, and they want to date us! Three years ago, the world learned that harpies, centaurs, catgirls, and all manners of fabulous creatures are not merely fiction; they are 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’re trying.
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. 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?!
The Monster Musume anime itself has ended, with the final episode airing earlier today on Tokyo MX at 12:30am JST. A second season of the anime may already be in production.
