Monster Musume Casts Yu Kobayashi as Smith, Opens Exchange Host Site

The official website for the television Smith, the Interspecies Cultural Exchange coordinator who is key to the story.

The anime also opened a website for cultural exchange hosts and would-be hosts on Saturday. The site lets prospective hosts sign up to invite one of six monster guests into their homes, and then track their daily lives. Hosts earn "love points" for correctly answering questions, and as they accumulate love points, they can receive various presents.

OKAYADO launched the manga in published the sixth compiled volume in North America in March, and it describes the story:

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 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 ravishing centaur girl and a flirtatious harpy move in, what's a full-blooded teenage human with raging hormones to do?!

The other cast are:

"Smith with MON" — a unit made up of the voice actresses for Ms. Smith, Manako, Tionishia, Zombina, and Doppel — will perform the ending theme song "Hey! Smith!!"

Seva is handling the show's animation.

The series is AT-X.
