Main Characters

Each monster girl has her own unique personality, and their character settings are one of the charms of this work. Below are details about the main characters.

  • Aguila : She's quiet and has a modest personality, and doesn't like to stand out. She's a modern girl who doesn't have any hobbies or interests. She has a mean look in her eyes and worries about looking sleepy.
  • Mikuras : An extremely healthy child. He has never caught a cold in his life. His body moves before he thinks, so he's what they call a muscle-brained person. He's a fan of the "Giant Monster Fight", a fighting sport between monster girls.
  • Windham : Serious about everything, with a strong intellectual curiosity. In fact, she is a die-hard otaku and fujoshi, and is the type who will wholeheartedly support her favorite works and characters.
  • Pigmon : A leader of the GIRLS and an idol-like figure. No matter who she's with, she does things at her own pace and always has a smile on her face, but when the time comes, she shows her strong core.
  • Zetton : The absolute champion of the "Giant Monster Fight" and the strongest monster girl in the GIRLS. She is so famous that everyone in the world knows her, but she is also a mysterious girl who boasts an overwhelming silence and an ironclad blank face.
  • Red King : A skilled fighter in the "Giant Monster Fight". He has many fans due to his "strength is power" fighting style. He is actually an extremely girly-girl, and has an unrivaled love for cute things.
  • Eleking : One of the monster girls who is a senior to Aguira and the others. A cool, calm and collected older sister who is unfazed by anything. And a solitary rotten girl who never joins a group.
  • Gomora : A young up-and-coming talent in the world of "giant monster fights". He loves to talk and has a friendly personality, but can also be a little naive. He used to live in Osaka, and sometimes speaks in a Kansai dialect.
  • Zandrias : She was a stray monster girl, but was taken in by Red King and is now working as a GIRLS apprentice. It seems like her rebellious phase is finally over...?
  • King Joe : A science major born in the United States. She's a beautiful woman who turns heads when she's quiet, but she also has a bottomless cheerful personality and is a careless person who doesn't worry about small details.
  • Alien Guts : A monster girl who excels at the ability to split into two. She is adept at anything from defeating shadows to searching for monster girls and acting as a bodyguard. She is also a workaholic who ends up taking on too much work.
  • Noisler : A member of the GIRLS entertainment department. Her hobby is listening to music. Her favorite genre is, of course, rock. But she's a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. She hits it off with the rebellious Zandrias and forms a band.
  • Magabasser : An apprentice monster girl who has just joined GIRLS. She has the ability to fly, and is expected to have great potential. She herself is still in her childish age of wanting to play.
  • Magajappa : A monster girl who became a GIRLS apprentice along with Magabasser. She has a gentle personality and is weak to tension, so she gets nervous easily. She has a habit of sweating profusely when she gets nervous. She likes taking baths.
