Editing Life With Monstergirls (section)

====Kimihito and his Girls====
* '''Kimihito Kurusu''': The protagonist of the story. A staggeringly average guy taking care of his ever-increasing harem although in typically harem anime style he excels at domestic tasks including cooking and managing interpersonal relationships with the fucked up characters that make up his harem. The only sane man by far, he is unusual for a protagonist within the genre in the way that he actually is sexually interested in the girls that fall for him. However, because of a law, he cannot have sex with any of the girls at the start of the series, made more difficult by the fact that all of them would very much love to jump his bone. Later on, that law is repealed (likely due to inability to enforce it, as human/monster exchanges seen later involve quite a bit of sex) although he then is given a government mandate to marry one of them which as expected causes drama for many chapters. Forced into being a host for the girls by the overworked/lazy monster/human affairs social worker, he nevertheless takes his predicament in stride, even taking in other girls that would otherwise be forced to return to their homelands. His dedication is to the point where when a [[succubus]] arrives and "[unleashes his] true desires" in an attempt to make him [[PROMOTIONS|do his go/d/-given /d/uty,]] this backfires because his only true desire was for her to ''put some fucking clothes on'' (someone sign this guy up for the [[Grey Knights]] already). He works an undefined part-time job to make ends meet (his parents are out of the country for business, in typical harem anime fashion), which can get difficult because of how much they all eat. He is a low-key [[anime]]/[[manga]] fan, quoting from a variety of works. A running joke has him crushed, mauled, trampled, scratched, drowned, tied up or harmed in other hilarious ways, all occupational hazards of having to take care of the half-monster girls, with him shrugging it off rather quickly; the girls, later on, realize this and have various beliefs or jokes regarding his seeming invulnerability. Fans joke that because of how average he is nobody remembers his name and instead call him by a variety of nicknames used by the other girls, with "Darling" and "Darling-kun" being favorites. While not exceedingly bright, he's willing to put his life in danger for others and has also physically fought other humans without hesitation. 
* '''Miia''': The [[Lamia]] of the group and something of the "main" girl as the first monstergirl character in the series. Being assigned to Kimihito by mistake, he took her in regardless. She fell head over heels for her darling and is frequently trying to get intimate with him, much to his dismay. She is cheerful and a bit ditzy, but has shown bouts of ruthless calculation and rivalry (so she's the Ryoko Hakubi of the series). Very possessive of her darling, she frequently lashes out at the other girls (and even him by mistake) when she feels they get too close. Yet, as dictated by the genre, whenever he accidentally does something that could be seen as sexual or perverted she smacks him about as a knee-jerk reaction. Yet her attraction to Kimihito is genuine and he in return has shown signs of being interested in her as well. Which is probably a good thing since it was later revealed she was set by her tribe to kidnap him for use as a breeding bull, but she abandoned that plan when she decided wants him all to herself. Her '''VERY''' aggressively sexual mother later appears to finish the job until deciding to let her daughter only have to compete with her current rivals instead of the entire tribe. 
* '''Papi''': The group's loli [[Harpy]]. Despite looking about half their age Papi is just as old (as in: legal) as the rest of the group. A complete birdbrain for whom the myth of birds forgetting things after taking three steps is applied literally (when she flies, she retains memories but the comic will point out when she takes three steps followed by a joke about forgetting her current situation), she tries to do good but often forgets important things. As the [[loli]] her [[DFC|figure is the most modest of all the girls]], but this doesn't stop certain perverts. As a bird-creature she frequently lays eggs, but she has no qualms about them being eaten. Being intellectually something of a child herself she really gets along with other children, and this lets her get along great with Suu (see below). But don't underestimate her: she can fly rather fast even when holding Kimihito, and her razor-sharp claws aren't there just for show. Papi's mother appears as a darker-skinned version of her, and is actually capable of remembering things including the fact that she is married (although she needed to retrieve a photograph of her husband that she gave to Papi to remember what he looks like when he's not around; still, remembering that she gave it to her at all is impressive given what is shown of Harpy memory). 
* '''Centorea "Cerea" Shianus''': The resident [[Centaur]]. She is rather old-fashioned and noble, putting great pride in proper behavior. This makes her the most composed of all the girls, yet is easily flustered when something [[:File:THE LEWDNESS.gif|lewd]] happens. Because of this, she can be freaking adorable in spite of her stoicism bordering on [[LARP]]ing. She is a trained knight, comfortable in [[armor]] and skilled with all sorts of weapons but with a preference for her [[sword]]. Because of her adherence to the old ways she considers Kimihito to be her master, who found out after the fact that riding on the back of a centaur makes you her master in cliche harem fashion. In fact, like Kimihito she's a low-key anime fan, though she takes anime cliches seriously as though they're traditions, and she's also a bit of a fantasy genre nerd. Despite her traditional mannerisms she's rather attracted to Kimihito and would love to elope with him. The massive size of her breasts is a running joke, with them bouncing around as she runs and Cerea being unable to fit a bra (despite there being girls with larger boobs - shown to be due to bras not being designed to withstand a full gallop) and her shirt is frequently undone, soaked, or damaged to reveal her breasts. Her mother secretly bred with a human rather than the Centaur he was supposed to get her hot and bothered enough to tolerate (Centaur females require teasers just like real horses due to their males acting like Greek myth Centaurs AKA fratboy slobs), and pretended to have difficulty accepting her daughter doing the same in order to use a sneaky plan to help kick-start a centaur women's lib movement. 
[[File:LawSuu.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Suu says hi to Lala.]]
* '''Suu''': A [[slime]] and [[Wat|the most adorable serial rapist you'll ever meet]]. Officially Slimes have not been categorized as Monsterfolk (the porn comics which preceded the manga show a researcher accidentally creating the first sapient one by introducing his DNA to garden pests by poking them when bored), but when one appeared in Kimihito's house Ms. Smith did not give enough of a fuck to put effort into getting her to be there officially. Her body consists of a blue mass of semi-transparent blue slime with three yellow-tipped green head tentacles sprouting out of her head to serve as "hair". She does not speak a lot and tends to use simple words with poor grammar, but isn't unintelligent. In fact, she appears to be only playing dumb most of the time, with occasional flashes of brilliance. Because of her child-like behavior, Papi took her under her wing (the writer of that pun has been {{BLAM|'''*BLAMMED*'''}}), with the two becoming best friends. Suu mainly survives on water, and when she takes in enough of it her body grows from that of a small, modestly-curved woman to a far more matronly form. This is a weakness of hers though: if she were to be exposed to too much water at once (like falling into a river), she would become too diluted and dissolve (although she managed to grow to an enormous size when exposed to experimental fertilizer and brainwashed into thinking of herself as a Gelatinous Cube). If she gets too thirsty, she'll aggressively seek out any source of moisture, including sweat and ''other fluids'' - [[rape|personal boundaries be damned]]. Taking in other things than clear water changes her personality: poisonous plants make her more abrasive and lustful for example, while mineral water makes her smarter (and crass). Being a Slime allows her great control over her body, as well as an ever-increasing list of [[Mary Sue|bullshit powers,]] from shapeshifting to mind reading, voice mimicry, and eidetic memory. Suu's origin is unknown prior to Kimihito saving her from dying via dilution in a rainstorm. While an ongoing series of arcs dealt with the backstories of the harem before coming into the series, Suu's instead focused on the race itself; Slimes merge with one another to reproduce, the offspring inheriting memories and evolved powers but the parent Slimes die in the process. When a giant unintelligent but powerful Kaiju-sized Slime wanted to reproduce with Suu (almost turning the rapist into the victim) she herself grew to giant size and fought back, with Kimihito defeating the opponent and saving the life of Suu by removing their Slime cores from the bodies, as the core is where their personality remains when the body turns back into water. 
* '''Meroune "Mero" Lorelei''': The group's [[merfolk|Mermaid]]. Born into royalty, Mero's upbringing has produced a kind, caring and proper young woman with a royal aura surrounding her. She's quite the "romantic", too. After reading [[Perpetual|Hans Christian Andersen's ''The Little Mermaid'']] she decided she wanted exactly that: a tragic romance like how the character in the story dies and turns into seafoam rather than lives happily ever after (in practice she initially wants to be cuckolded, die in a lover's embrace a la Romeo & Juliet, or else have Kimihito posthumously father her children; generally most Bad Ends are exciting Good Ends to her). This isn't unique just to Mero, as its implied that all Mermaids tend to fall in love on a whim and are thrilled by tragedy or drama. However, after spending some time with Kimihito and the others, as well as realizing that tragedy fucking sucks when it's ACTUALLY happening to you, Mero decided that she wanted a more happy ending to her "tragedy" and some time after that decided that she just wants to be Kimihito's wife with all the others as his mistresses for the purpose of maximum drama. Aside from being her fetish for soap opera plots she seems to somehow enjoy Miia's horrible cooking and being restrained by Rachnera, suggesting she's some kind of masochist. Her royal mother was the reason that humans and monsters weren't legally allowed to marry or have sex early in the comic; the queen drug the cast into her political drama of scapegoating an octopus woman as the one causing their race to increasingly elope with humans out of seemingly nowhere (in reality both male and female Merfolk just really love humans and the more it was forbidden the more it happened) almost ending the legal mingling of human and monsterfolk entirely, all just to make her own personal elopement with a new man (after Mero's father, a human, left her for another Mermaid) more thrillingly tragic than that of any other Merperson. After seeing how serious her daughter was about being willing to die for Kimihito's survival, the queen publicly confessed everything but her own involvement. Afterwards just about anything either Mermaid royal can think of has been purchased and applied to the living space of the cast (without anyone else being informed). 
* '''Rachnera "Rachnee" Arachnera''':  The [[Arachne]] of the house. Rachnee is a cruel mistress, taking enjoyment in tying people up and dominating them to the point of, as one annoying and lusty Devil found out, minor [[/d/|mindbreakage]]. She is by far the largest of the girls, with her large abdomen and long legs making her take up more space than even Miia or Cerea, ironically her biggest rivals for Kimihito's affection (his leg fetish gives him a great deal of interest in her). The only girls she doesn't know what to make of are Suu, given that she can't tie up the Slime girl, and to a lesser extent Papi, who's childishness doesn't blend with Rachnee's adult worldview; the two have repeatedly turned her self-spun bondage setups into play equipment (given Suu's possible normal intelligence, this could mean she just enjoys trolling her). She is extremely seductive and is more than willing to use her womanly wiles to get what she wants (or mess with people, male and female alike). She uses her webbing to great effect: she can tie people up in various ways with but a movement of her hand (though this is likely for comedic effect rather than making her look awesome) and enjoys knitting. She also dislikes dishonesty and would rather have an ugly truth rather than a pleasant lie, something that caused her to take interest in the naive and good-natured Kimihito. It has been hinted that her vicious dominatrix persona is just an act and she wants to not get emotionally hurt due to a life full of rejection from both humans and other monsters, something Rachnee will violently disagree with (giving it a grain of truth). She's quite protective of Kimihito or the other girls (when her past dealings aren't getting them into a situation) as she's far more than willing than the others to threaten violence and even murder. Also, she gets drunk off coffee (real life spiders are far more affected by coffee than any other non-lethal chemical alteration), something nobody else has figured out yet. 
* '''Lala''': A Dulluhan and the last to join the main cast, although she only appears rarely. Lala is a very serious but shy woman who calls herself an "agent of death", something that apparently all of her race do. As a Dulluhan she can detach her head and function normally on both sides. Her neckstump can casually ingest anything from (terrible) soup to a large amount of chips without her really caring. However, if the two get separated she needs help to reunite the two, which is how she met Kimihito. Once her head and body were reunited she warned him that he was on the brink of death. Kimihito suspected she was full of shit and quoted several famous last words of a few anime/manga characters without dying. It was then revealed that Lala was not an agent of death but rather an ordinary psychopomp, a ferrier of souls. She can still, however, teleport around seemingly at will, but only in accordance with horror movie tropes (vanishing only when out of sight, even momentarily, and only appearing behind someone's back, Grudge-style). She also does manage to dispel a ghost later on in the series, and every time Kimihito is near death he appears near the Sanzu River (the River Styx for the Shinto religion) which is why she became interested in him in the first place. She kept running away from her families (because they were all too healthy - Ms. Smith knew about her obsession with death) but was content with staying with Kimihito. After this she was reduced to a minor recurring character, showing up only a few times. While she's not crushing on him as the other girls are, she has stated that once Kimihito dies his soul shall be hers, making her the most patient member of the harem. Aside from being able to detach her head and the color of her skin and eyes she is by far the most human looking of the group, with many fans lusting after her generous but not oversized form. And the fact that her head can separate from her body has lead to all kinds of creative fanart smut - some more horrifying than others. [[/d/|Ever heard of a "neckjob"?]]. She pretends to be calm and cool, but becomes flustered easily when someone calls her out on something... or when Rachnee ties her up, which is apparently a fetish of hers given her reactions.
