Seven Seas Entertainment acquire Monster Musume: I Heart Monster Girls manga

We've talked at some length about the explosion of monster girl manga here on the site, and in light of the stellar success of the flagship Monster Musume in that regard it's no surprise to hear that publisher Seven Seas Entertainment have picked up another title directly related to it.

The title in question is Monster Musume: I ♥ Monster Girls, a four-panel anthology spin-off from the main series which spans two volumes, which the publisher has currently slated for May and July 2016 release respectively.

Here's some more on the series courtesy of the company's press release:

Seven Seas Entertainment is delighted to announce their acquisition of Monster Musume: I ♥ Monster Girls, a two-volume manga series about everyone's favorite monster girls from the hit series, Monster Musume! Each volume will include three bonus monster girl post cards.

Monster Musume: I ♥ Monster Girls tells all new, all original stories in four-panel comic strip anthology format, including a short Monster Musume story from Shake-O, creator of Nurse Hitomi’s Monster Infirmary. Spun off from events and characters as seen in the original manga and anime series, this new manga expands upon the Monster Musume universe.

"We’re thrilled to be able to add to the Monster Musume mythology," says Seven Seas publisher, Jason DeAngelis. "Monster Musume: I ♥ Monster Girlsallows readers another chance to experience all the heart and comedy of the original series, as envisioned by a talented team of creators renowned for their monster girl stories. There are some really cute and hilarious stories in these books, not to mention the bonus character postcards that come with them!"

When hapless human twenty-something Kurusu Kimihito becomes an involuntary “volunteer” in the government home-stay program for monster girls, his world is turned upside down. A reptilian lamia named Miia is sent to live with him, and it is Kimihito’s job to tend to her every need and make sure she integrates into his everyday life. While cold-blooded Miia is so sexy she makes Kimihito’s blood boil with desire, the penalties for interspecies breeding are dire. Even worse, when a buxom centaur girl named Centorea and a scantily clad harpy named Papi move into Kimihito’s house, what’s a full-blooded young man with raging hormones to do? And they’re only the beginning of Kimihito’s foray into the world of monster girls!

Seven Seas will release Monster Musume: I ♥ Monster Girls for the first time in print in North America as single volumes, each with a color insert and three bonus full-color postcards. The first volume will be released on May 17, 2016 for $13.99 US / $15.99 CAN, with volume two scheduled for July 12, 2016.
