*CompleteMonster: Puns aside, the series has no shortage of unpleasant characters, but the top of the list has to be Wladislaus Drakulya. An abusive father to his daughter, Curie, and forcing her to do things against her will, Wladislaus is an apathetic and disgusting excuse for a parent who is far more racist than even the worst of the human characters. Add in several end goals that include ''genocide'' against other species and you get the most vile character in the entire series, which makes his final end courtesy of Lala's scythe well and truly much deserved.

** Mero's talk in Chapter 34 about learning to be more careful with people and trying to make up for her past mistakes seems to be an attempt to rehabilitate her a little from the incident listed under NeverLiveItDown. Later she got a whole story arc on the subject.
** The fact the author has been adding more male characters that are good people and are also in relationships with Extraspecies women to deal with complaints regarding Kimihito's artificially looking better than every male in the story. In fact these guys are in a more loving and stable relationship with these women than he is.
** Fewer monster girls have been falling in love with Kimihito, most likely as another part addressing the criticism of most Extraspecies women falling in love with him for flimsy reasons. And possibly because his unwanted harem has already reached a size that's difficult to manage. The farm arc in particular reads almost as a parody of the concept, with Kimihito almost being assaulted by an army of horny farm monstergirls who've all fallen for him.
** Chapter 43 shows the girls actually helping around the house and earning extra money to help.
** Manga readers didn't like that Polt's introduction chapter was skipped in the anime. An OVA based around that chapter was released in November of 2016.
** To balance out the extremely {{Gonk}} nature of male centaurs and orcs, attractive looking male liminals have been added to various background scenes, including dwarves, elves, mermen, kobolds, and minotaurs (the latter two being attractive BeastFolk).
** Chapter 60 confirms that the next arc is back to focusing on the main harem, with Miia in particular having a huge role after having been OutOfFocus ever since Chapter 43.

** The mystery about who "D" is lasted from Chapters 18 to 24. "D" was [[BaitAndSwitch falsely hinted at]] repeatedly with Draco, Kii, and Lilith. [[spoiler:Doppel provided the initial note, while Lala wrote the second and final note.]]
** The chapters where Kimihito returns to the farm, while being much shorter than the "D" arc, suffered from this due to ScheduleSlip causing it to feel even longer. Compounding that is the fact that the entire main cast aside from Kimihito is OutOfFocus, with most of his interactions being with groups of fauns and satyrs rather than any individual characters.
** The general series question of who Kimihito is going to marry, dragging on and on while never getting closer to a resolution. It's gotten especially silly with the addition of background interspecies couples that should logically be able to take over as the tests for whether human-extraspecies relationships can work ([[spoiler: like Papi's parents]]).
* {{Asspull}}: Suu pulling NewPowersAsThePlotDemands every couple of chapters. She can shapeshift, read minds, taste poisons and so on. Mostly [[JustifiedTrope justified]] due to slimes being a very recent game market invention, as opposed to most of the other monsters who are folklore figures from pre-16th Century times (though Suu still has more abilities than Slimes are ever marketed with at any one time, and some that were never seen on them before her).
* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Mero's talk in Chapter 34 about learning to be more careful with people and trying to make up for her past mistakes seems to be an attempt to rehabilitate her a little from the incident listed under NeverLiveItDown. Later she got a whole story arc on the subject.
** The fact the author has been adding more male characters that are good people and are also in relationships with Extraspecies women to deal with complaints regarding Kimihito's artificially looking better than every male in the story. In fact these guys are in a more loving and stable relationship with these women than he is.
** Fewer monster girls have been falling in love with Kimihito, most likely as another part addressing the criticism of most Extraspecies women falling in love with him for flimsy reasons. And possibly because his unwanted harem has already reached a size that's difficult to manage. The farm arc in particular reads almost as a parody of the concept, with Kimihito almost being assaulted by an army of horny farm monstergirls who've all fallen for him.
** Chapter 43 shows the girls actually helping around the house and earning extra money to help.
** Manga readers didn't like that Polt's introduction chapter was skipped in the anime. An OVA based around that chapter was released in November of 2016.
** To balance out the extremely {{Gonk}} nature of male centaurs and orcs, attractive looking male liminals have been added to various background scenes, including dwarves, elves, mermen, kobolds, and minotaurs (the latter two being attractive BeastFolk).
** Chapter 60 confirms that the next arc is back to focusing on the main harem, with Miia in particular having a huge role after having been {{Out of Focus}} ever since Chapter 43.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WcCCvf13vY Opening]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgopvlEMWT0 Ending]] credits for the Anime do not disappoint. The ED, in particular, is so badass they could've used it as the OP for a more action-packed spin-off starring MON and nobody would be likely to notice. In fact... ''[[SomethingCompletelyDifferent they did]]''.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The OAV has a scene of Polt gently licking Manako's eyeball to remove a hair that was stuck there. It was entirely original, not coming from the manga or any of the omake, and at one point it even switched to Manako's perspective, giving the impression that Polt was licking the screen. Even the other MON members didn't seem quite sure of what was going on. Perhaps some of the animators (or Okayado himself) had this specific fetish...
* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Ms. Smith. You either love her because her lazy and forgetful demeanor are some of the manga's funniest parts, or you hate her because her lazy and forgetful demeanor cause a lot of the manga's problems in the first place.
** Every new minotaur, pan and satyr character from the Farm arc. They have a lot of fans who find them and their character dynamics with both each other's species and Kimihito interesting and wish that one of them would have joined the main harem, but there's just as many people who despise them for not only being cliché and anime archetypes at best, or unlikable characters who're just using the protagonist at worst, but also being a huge {{Spotlight Stealing Squad}} who caused the main harem to fall {{Out of Focus}} for the entire arc.
* BrokenBase:
** In the official English translation, Rachnera's dialogue is riddled with spider puns and uses "[[NurseryRhyme itsy bitsy]]" as an adjective in nearly ''every single'' sentence. Some think it's an amusing touch, while others find it overused and annoying. Thankfully they do tone down the frequency of "itsy bitsy" as time goes by.
** Fans who were hoping the anime would get a quality English dub weren't very thrilled when it was announced that Creator/SentaiFilmworks got the license to it, since Sentai doesn't have the best track record when it comes to dubbing their shows, with most of them either using [[AmateurCast amateur voice actors]] or [[NoDubForYou not having a dub at all]]. They later announced that the anime would get an English dub, but fans are still uncertain whether the dub will be good or not.
** Polt being DemotedToExtra in the anime. The manga chapter that featured her was likely cut out due to space constraints, and as a result she's been relegated to a few cameos. Many of her fans are ''not'' happy with this, while others are just glad she's in the anime ''at all''. Her contributions to Kimihito's food problems being cut out of Episode 12 only made her fans even ''more'' unhappy. It could have been even worse; she might not have even appeared at all had Okayado himself not requested she be put in somehow. It's mostly died down after the release of the first OVA, which was all about the trip to Polt's gym that was cut out.
** After the story arc of Kimihito getting kidnapped, the main harem has been sidelined, to the point of becoming background characters or even not appearing at all (like in the farm story arc). Several fans are getting annoyed by this and are starting to lose interest in the manga, which is supposed to be a slice of life about them. Though the Lamia Village arc is rectifying​ this by finally giving the main harem focus again.
* CaptainObviousReveal: Chapter 34 reveals that [[spoiler:Mero is an actual princess.]] Considering the huge and unsubtle amount of foreshadowing, the reactions of most readers was "wait, that's supposed to be a reveal?" The summary blurb on Volume 9 even [[LampshadeHanging notes]] that it's really not much of a surprise.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: The ''[[RecurringExtra Bicycle Cop]]'' of all people, has a large enough fan-following to routinely get fanart. In fact, as mentioned on the WMG page, [[http://i.imgur.com/IINHjU6.jpg fans have even started giving him his own harem]] ([[ButtMonkey of the most dangerous and violent subspecies available]]). The general consensus seems to be that the girls are part of a parole program rather than the usual species exchange the main series focuses on.
%%* EvilIsCool: [[AmbiguouslyEvil Rachnera]]
* EvilIsSexy: The villainous monster girls are just as attractive as our main characters.
* FoeYay: Rachnera and her love for torturing ''anybody''.
* FriendlyFandoms : With Manga/RosarioToVampire , as they are both harem series that feature mythological creatures and fan-service, and both have a major case of GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff (see below).
* GatewaySeries: This series has practically introduced the work of CuteMonsterGirl into the mainstream, and also introduced a fashion for the study of discrimination and social issues in the context of this genre.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The manga is a decent seller in Japan but doesn't make a huge splash. In America, it regularly hit the New York Times Manga Top 10 before the anime was even announced. It's even outsold complete juggernauts like ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' and even ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' once or twice. These circumstances eerily match those of ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' (see FriendlyFandoms).
* HilariousInHindsight: Very darkly hilarious in this case: Mero's introductory chapter has Miia absolutely certain that the mermaid is actually a [[{{Yandere}} psychotic]] BitchInSheepsClothing under her royal facade. While it turns out Mero really is every bit the peach she is on the surface, [[spoiler: her ''mother'' on the other hand...]]
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Our main protagonist has been shipped with nearly ''every'' monster girl in the series.
* LesYay:
** Papi and Suu experience most of it. Suu notably kisses her outright during the Chapter 10 water-absorption spree, though she does end up bringing Miia, Papi, and Centorea to orgasm.
** In Episode 10, Papi sucking on Kii's breasts (to remove toxic nutrients) and Kii sucking on Suu's breasts. (Along with Kimihito replacing a tied-up Papi on Kii's breasts, all three girls orgasm.)
** Also in Episode 10, Rachnera takes mischievous Lilith to a warehouse for bondage and interrogation. Lilith refers to Rachnera as "{{oneesama}}" and answers her questions, getting an orgasm as a reward from Rachnera. Later in the series she's still obsessively taken with Rachnera, though Rachnera herself apparently has completely ignored her ever since she determined Lilith wasn't "D."
** The Eel Mermaids get rather touchy-feely with Miia and Centorea, and that's even considering that they're masseuses.
** Mero initially plans to be Kimihito's mistress with Miia [[WorthyOpponent in particular]] as the wife. [[spoiler: At the end of chapter 37, she's decided she wants to be Kimihito's wife, but has become [[OneTrueThreesome even more keen on keeping Miia around afterward.]] And twice so far she's [[SkinshipGrope felt the Lamia up]] for reasons known only to herself.]]
** By the end of the Farm arc in chapter 59, the perpetually-horny satyrs have succeeded in seducing (almost) every faun and minotaur girl on the farm. An omake implies it doesn't really stick as any kind of stable relationship though, as in a talk among themselves the satyrs shoot down the idea of hiring Kimihito back to the farm to milk them (they consider milking their own kind to be one fetish they won't do and want a man to do it) because they know the rest of the girls will switch back to Kimihito if given the opportunity.
* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: In chapter 55 Kimihito is about to drown or dissolve inside a giant evil toxic slime (ItMakesSenseInContext). Suu follows him and creates a bubble in order to let him breathe and to protect him from the toxic sludge. However, said toxic sludge proves too much for her and she dissolves into nothing after having protected her Master. [[spoiler:It's revealed then that Kimihito swallowed Suu's core, thus allowing her to regenerate from it.]]
* MemeticMolester: Suu and Rachnera, due to bringing about a lot of BlackComedyRape in the story.
* MemeticMutation:
** The chibi-face Miia made in the first episode before dragging Kimihito back to bed made the rounds for a while, including on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki as it is the image for this series' [[Funny/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl Funny Moments page]].
** Kimihito is [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Saitama]] before he lost his hair. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Due to his [[MegatonPunch mean punches]], his normal BlankWhiteEyes when not serious, and his ability to not be fazed by most things, quite a few people affectionately liken Kimihito to Saitama.[[/labelnote]]
* {{Moe}}: This is a series about {{Cute Monster Girl}}s. [[CheerfulChild Papi]] and [[CuteGiant Tio]] are the stand out examples.
* MoralEventHorizon: While the Racist Couple are usually just annoying and racist douchebags, the man of the duo crosses the line into evil territory when he attempts to rape Centorea in Chapter 16/Episode 8, using legal loopholes to prevent her from fighting back and only being foiled by [[BigDamnHeroes Rachnera's intervention]]. It's ''not'' played for laughs, and possibly because of this both him and his girlfriend are heavily implied to have died in their next and final appearance, something that hasn't happened to any other character in the series.
* {{Narm}}: Since this is an ''ecchi'' series the girls are designed to be sexy, but Rachnera having a human butt on top of her spider body is a bit too ridiculous to some. She seems to have her spider half connected by a second neck attached to her perineum, rather than at the end of her spine like a tail.
* NarmCharm: OVA and web episodes have a lot of this because of the image of extremely open eroticism or intimate situations with a completely serious face.
* NeverLiveItDown: After her attempt to get SomeoneToRememberHimBy before actually trying to save Kimihito in chapter 24, poor Meroune quickly got saddled with the FanNickname of "Murdermaid."
* NoYay: A few of the girls, namely Miia, Centorea, Papi, and Mero, are ''not'' into the BlackComedyRape brought on by Suu or Rachnera.
* RewatchBonus: Chapter 22. Toward the end Manako points out that she had seen "D" during the date with Tio. "D" actually was present in the background for all three dates.
* SeasonalRot: Following the kidnapping arc, or possibly even before, quite a few fans view the series as having succumbed to this, since rather than focusing on the primary romantic harem comedy aspect of the series, many of the arcs center around a single member of the main cast or even one-shot characters who have little to no involvement with the main characters, and barely any of it involves romance with the MC. On top of that, the ecchi gets seriously ramped up (in a series known for being pretty ecchi to begin with) at the expense of outright ignoring any forward motion for what little plot was being built up.
* {{Squick}}:
** Chapter 1. Miia accidentally dislocates her darling's arm and agent Smith tries snapping it back into its correct position.
** The OVA has a brief scene in which Polt licks Manako's eyeball.
** [[ValuesDissonance For the Western Audience]], characters of the same body build as Papi (that is of the young teenage girl variety) getting roped into sexual scenarios. For some, showing said character in [[VisualInnuendo sexually implicated]] scenarios (such as sucking on an ice pop in the most odd of ways) can be a little [[{{Squick}} squicky]] for those not into the whole [[LoliconAndShotacon sexualized young girls]] trope, with her behaviour doing little to show that she's of legal age not helping her case either. Though thankfully it's not nearly as prevalent as all the other ladies.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Lilith. She only makes one major appearance and a couple of minor ones, but between her prankster personality and her... [[TooKinkyToTorture relationship]] with "Mistress" Rachera, she could've had more potential for both comedy and characterization.
** The extraspecies idol group [=ANM48=] (a parody of [=AKB48=] composed of LittleBitBeastly girls) could have been an interesting way to discuss FantasticRacism issues, as well as to parody Japan's obsession with idol groups, but they pretty much disappear from the story after the first chapter.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** Chapter 14 [[spoiler:sets Rachnera up as the manga's first possible villain, yet she was added to the harem near-instantly.]]
** And then there's Draco from chapter 19. Possible rival and villain... [[spoiler:and he turns out to not even be an actual dude.]]
** The resolution of the "D" mystery. [[spoiler: The first letter was a joke. The second letter appeared to have been done by yet another goofy girl]].
** Chapter 26 (the one with [[spoiler:Ren Kunanzuki, daughter of Rachnera's previous host family, trying to readopt Rachnera out of guilt for her parents selling her]]) could've been a heartwarming resolution for probably the most tragic main character in the manga, and also the debut for one more sympathetic human person outside of the main cast. Instead, [[spoiler:Ren]] was portrayed as egoistic and ignorant (if not intentionally on her part), and her appearance was played mainly to make Kimihito look better, though it did help soften Rachnera a bit more.
* VanillaProtagonist: As with many harem protagonists, Kimihito is as designed to be an extremely accessible character who can fit any role. It’s the harem girls who provide the true focus of the series.
* WhatAnIdiot:
** [[RuleOfFunny A funny example]]. Since Kimihito's [[spoiler: death threat]], Ms. Smith assigns a member of MON for protective detail during his dates. You'd think Doppel, the shape-shifting infiltrator, would be the perfect candidate for keeping an eye on him incognito; instead, Smith assigns Tio, the dark-skinned, horned giant. There's even a panel where pedestrians look at her in shock while she (futilely) tries to be discreet. [[spoiler: Considering Doppel instigated the whole plot, it makes sense she's not available.]]
** [[spoiler: In doing this Doppel herself qualifies, as she accomplished the exact opposite of her job. Worse, her prank ended up allowing Lala to send an actual death threat unnoticed, as it was written off initially as another product of Doppel.]]
** When Mero and Kimihito are trapped underwater, and Mero's swimming abilities are hampered by her injuries, it's understandable why the other girls don't jump in themselves to help out: they're not suited for water. But there's no excuse for [[UnscaledMerfolk Octo]] to just stand there gawking with the rest of them as Mero scrambles to save Kimihito on her own: she could swim just fine. Admittedly, real octopi are fairly weak swimmers with low endurance compared to fish (they can jet away quickly but can't keep swimming for long). On the other hand we aren't told if this applies to Octo and she would still at least be able to effectively walk and cling to the floor, assuming she could reach it before the currents pulled her into the spikes.
* {{Woolseyism}}:
** MON's acronym was changed from "Monsters of a Neuro" to "Monster Ops: Neutralization" in the official English translation, changing a case of GratuitousEnglish into a name that made sense in English. The anime goes with "'''MON'''ster's New Law".
** Lala, in the English manga, speaks with a notable Irish brogue which fits the Dullahan's origins.

%%Forum thread link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13320709050A13695000
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Miia really a [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosting]], JerkWithAHeartOfGold who tolerates her darling's care for the other women? Or is she secretly a full-blown {{Yandere}} who intends to prevent the other girls from getting close to her darling and intends to remove them as romantic rivals? Some theorize that her clinginess may eventually harm the man she loves on a serious level one day... well, more so than now.
** The fan translation flips Doppel's personality on its head. Changing her from a well meaning KarmicTrickster to a malicious and spiteful one, PayingEvilUntoEvil with torturous schemes.
* ArcFatigue:
** The mystery about who "D" is lasted from Chapters 18 to 24. "D" was [[BaitAndSwitch falsely hinted at]] repeatedly with Draco, Kii, and Lilith. [[spoiler:Doppel provided the initial note, while Lala wrote the second and final note.]]
** The chapters where Kimihito returns to the farm, while being much shorter than the "D" arc, suffered from this due to ScheduleSlip causing it to feel even longer. Compounding that is the fact that the entire main cast aside from Kimihito is OutOfFocus, with most of his interactions being with groups of fauns and satyrs rather than any individual characters.
** The general series question of who Kimihito is going to marry, dragging on and on while never getting closer to a resolution. It's gotten especially silly with the addition of background interspecies couples that should logically be able to take over as the tests for whether human-extraspecies relationships can work ([[spoiler: like Papi's parents]]).
* {{Asspull}}: Suu pulling NewPowersAsThePlotDemands every couple of chapters. She can shapeshift, read minds, taste poisons and so on. Mostly [[JustifiedTrope justified]] due to slimes being a very recent game market invention, as opposed to most of the other monsters who are folklore figures from pre-16th Century times (though Suu still has more abilities than Slimes are ever marketed with at any one time, and some that were never seen on them before her).
* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Mero's talk in Chapter 34 about learning to be more careful with people and trying to make up for her past mistakes seems to be an attempt to rehabilitate her a little from the incident listed under NeverLiveItDown. Later she got a whole story arc on the subject.
** The fact the author has been adding more male characters that are good people and are also in relationships with Extraspecies women to deal with complaints regarding Kimihito's artificially looking better than every male in the story. In fact these guys are in a more loving and stable relationship with these women than he is.
** Fewer monster girls have been falling in love with Kimihito, most likely as another part addressing the criticism of most Extraspecies women falling in love with him for flimsy reasons. And possibly because his unwanted harem has already reached a size that's difficult to manage. The farm arc in particular reads almost as a parody of the concept, with Kimihito almost being assaulted by an army of horny farm monstergirls who've all fallen for him.
** Chapter 43 shows the girls actually helping around the house and earning extra money to help.
** Manga readers didn't like that Polt's introduction chapter was skipped in the anime. An OVA based around that chapter was released in November of 2016.
** To balance out the extremely {{Gonk}} nature of male centaurs and orcs, attractive looking male liminals have been added to various background scenes, including dwarves, elves, mermen, kobolds, and minotaurs (the latter two being attractive BeastFolk).
** Chapter 60 confirms that the next arc is back to focusing on the main harem, with Miia in particular having a huge role after having been {{Out of Focus}} ever since Chapter 43.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WcCCvf13vY Opening]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgopvlEMWT0 Ending]] credits for the Anime do not disappoint. The ED, in particular, is so badass they could've used it as the OP for a more action-packed spin-off starring MON and nobody would be likely to notice. In fact... ''[[SomethingCompletelyDifferent they did]]''.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The OAV has a scene of Polt gently licking Manako's eyeball to remove a hair that was stuck there. It was entirely original, not coming from the manga or any of the omake, and at one point it even switched to Manako's perspective, giving the impression that Polt was licking the screen. Even the other MON members didn't seem quite sure of what was going on. Perhaps some of the animators (or Okayado himself) had this specific fetish...
* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Ms. Smith. You either love her because her lazy and forgetful demeanor are some of the manga's funniest parts, or you hate her because her lazy and forgetful demeanor cause a lot of the manga's problems in the first place.
** Every new minotaur, pan and satyr character from the Farm arc. They have a lot of fans who find them and their character dynamics with both each other's species and Kimihito interesting and wish that one of them would have joined the main harem, but there's just as many people who despise them for not only being cliché and anime archetypes at best, or unlikable characters who're just using the protagonist at worst, but also being a huge {{Spotlight Stealing Squad}} who caused the main harem to fall {{Out of Focus}} for the entire arc.
* BrokenBase:
** In the official English translation, Rachnera's dialogue is riddled with spider puns and uses "[[NurseryRhyme itsy bitsy]]" as an adjective in nearly ''every single'' sentence. Some think it's an amusing touch, while others find it overused and annoying. Thankfully they do tone down the frequency of "itsy bitsy" as time goes by.

They later announced that the anime would get an English dub, but fans are still uncertain whether the dub will be good or not.
** Polt being DemotedToExtra in the anime. The manga chapter that featured her was likely cut out due to space constraints, and as a result she's been relegated to a few cameos. Many of her fans are ''not'' happy with this, while others are just glad she's in the anime ''at all''. Her contributions to Kimihito's food problems being cut out of Episode 12 only made her fans even ''more'' unhappy. It could have been even worse; she might not have even appeared at all had Okayado himself not requested she be put in somehow. It's mostly died down after the release of the first OVA, which was all about the trip to Polt's gym that was cut out.

** By the end of the Farm arc in chapter 59, the perpetually-horny satyrs have succeeded in seducing (almost) every faun and minotaur girl on the farm.

* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: In chapter 55 Kimihito is about to drown or dissolve inside a giant evil toxic slime (ItMakesSenseInContext). Suu follows him and creates a bubble in order to let him breathe and to protect him from the toxic sludge. However, said toxic sludge proves too much for her and she dissolves into nothing after having protected her Master. [[spoiler:It's revealed then that Kimihito swallowed Suu's core, thus allowing her to regenerate from it.]]

** The chibi-face Miia made in the first episode before dragging Kimihito back to bed made the rounds for a while, including on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki as it is the image for this series' [[Funny/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl Funny Moments page]].
** Kimihito is [[Webcomic/OnePunchMan Saitama]] before he lost his hair. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Due to his [[MegatonPunch mean punches]], his normal BlankWhiteEyes when not serious, and his ability to not be fazed by most things, quite a few people affectionately liken Kimihito to Saitama.[[/labelnote]]
* {{Moe}}: This is a series about {{Cute Monster Girl}}s. [[CheerfulChild Papi]] and [[CuteGiant Tio]] are the stand out examples.
* MoralEventHorizon: While the Racist Couple are usually just annoying and racist douchebags, the man of the duo crosses the line into evil territory when he attempts to rape Centorea in Chapter 16/Episode 8, using legal loopholes to prevent her from fighting back and only being foiled by [[BigDamnHeroes Rachnera's intervention]]. It's ''not'' played for laughs, and possibly because of this both him and his girlfriend are heavily implied to have died in their next and final appearance, something that hasn't happened to any other character in the series.
* {{Narm}}: Since this is an ''ecchi'' series the girls are designed to be sexy, but Rachnera having a human butt on top of her spider body is a bit too ridiculous to some. She seems to have her spider half connected by a second neck attached to her perineum, rather than at the end of her spine like a tail.

For some, showing said character in [[VisualInnuendo sexually implicated]] scenarios (such as sucking on an ice pop in the most odd of ways) can be a little [[{{Squick}} squicky]] for those not into the whole [[LoliconAndShotacon sexualized young girls]] trope, with her behaviour doing little to show that she's of legal age not helping her case either. Though thankfully it's not nearly as prevalent as all the other ladies.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Lilith. She only makes one major appearance and a couple of minor ones, but between her prankster personality and her... [[TooKinkyToTorture relationship]] with "Mistress" Rachera, she could've had more potential for both comedy and characterization.
** The extraspecies idol group [=ANM48=] (a parody of [=AKB48=] composed of LittleBitBeastly girls) could have been an interesting way to discuss FantasticRacism issues, as well as to parody Japan's obsession with idol groups, but they pretty much disappear from the story after the first chapter.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** Chapter 14 [[spoiler:sets Rachnera up as the manga's first possible villain, yet she was added to the harem near-instantly.]]
** And then there's Draco from chapter 19. Possible rival and villain... [[spoiler:and he turns out to not even be an actual dude.]]
** The resolution of the "D" mystery. [[spoiler: The first letter was a joke. The second letter appeared to have been done by yet another goofy girl]].
** Chapter 26 (the one with [[spoiler:Ren Kunanzuki, daughter of Rachnera's previous host family, trying to readopt Rachnera out of guilt for her parents selling her]]) could've been a heartwarming resolution for probably the most tragic main character in the manga, and also the debut for one more sympathetic human person outside of the main cast. Instead, [[spoiler:Ren]] was portrayed as egoistic and ignorant (if not intentionally on her part), and her appearance was played mainly to make Kimihito look better, though it did help soften Rachnera a bit more.
* VanillaProtagonist: As with many harem protagonists, Kimihito is as designed to be an extremely accessible character who can fit any role. It’s the harem girls who provide the true focus of the series.
* WhatAnIdiot:
** [[RuleOfFunny A funny example]]. Since Kimihito's [[spoiler: death threat]], Ms. Smith assigns a member of MON for protective detail during his dates. You'd think Doppel, the shape-shifting infiltrator, would be the perfect candidate for keeping an eye on him incognito; instead, Smith assigns Tio, the dark-skinned, horned giant. There's even a panel where pedestrians look at her in shock while she (futilely) tries to be discreet. [[spoiler: Considering Doppel instigated the whole plot, it makes sense she's not available.]]
** [[spoiler: In doing this Doppel herself qualifies, as she accomplished the exact opposite of her job. Worse, her prank ended up allowing Lala to send an actual death threat unnoticed, as it was written off initially as another product of Doppel.]]
** When Mero and Kimihito are trapped underwater, and Mero's swimming abilities are hampered by her injuries, it's understandable why the other girls don't jump in themselves to help out: they're not suited for water. But there's no excuse for [[UnscaledMerfolk Octo]] to just stand there gawking with the rest of them as Mero scrambles to save Kimihito on her own: she could swim just fine. Admittedly, real octopi are fairly weak swimmers with low endurance compared to fish (they can jet away quickly but can't keep swimming for long). On the other hand we aren't told if this applies to Octo and she would still at least be able to effectively walk and cling to the floor, assuming she could reach it before the currents pulled her into the spikes.
* {{Woolseyism}}:
** MON's acronym was changed from "Monsters of a Neuro" to "Monster Ops: Neutralization" in the official English translation, changing a case of GratuitousEnglish into a name that made sense in English. The anime goes with "'''MON'''ster's New Law".
** Lala, in the English manga, speaks with a notable Irish brogue which fits the Dullahan's origins.
