Premise [edit]
Taking place after a long war between humans and monsters ended, the story focuses on the human Dr. Glenn Litbeit and his lamia assistant, Saphentite "Sapphee" Neikes, as they run a clinic in the city of Lindworm, which is home to many species of monsters living alongside humans.
Characters [edit]
- Glenn Litbeit (グレン・リトバイト, Guren Ritobaito)
- Voiced by: Shun'ichi Toki[2] (Japanese); Griffin Puatu[3] (English)
- Glenn is a human male from a merchant family from the far east, who specialized in medicines during the war. He strives to become a doctor for the monster population of the city of Lindworm. His calm demeanor and quick mind and focus allows him to treat everyone from a harpy girl to an immortal dragon. This tends to make him have a cadre of girls vying for his affection, much to the annoyance of Sapphee. It's implied he returns Sapphee's affections, but cannot act on it until his clinic is paid off.
- Saphentite Neikes (サーフェンティット・ネイクス, Sāfentitto Neikusu)
- Voiced by: Saori Ōnishi[2] (Japanese); Cristina Vee[3] (English)
- Glenn's childhood friend and assistant in the clinic who goes by the nickname of "Sapphee". She organizes the clinic and monitors the fairies that assist them. She is a rare albino lamia so she has to wear a special outfit whenever she goes out into the sunlight. Her family were also merchants during the war, allying with the Litbeit family to aid the wounded and ensure medicine production on both sides. She was sent to the Litbeits as a political hostage where she met Glenn and fell in love with him. However, her family are also well known assassins and if the Litbeits were to betray them, she was set to kill Glenn's family. She also has a low tolerance for alcohol.
- Tisalia Scythia (ティサリア・スキュテイアー, Tisaria Sukyuteiā)
- Voiced by: Sarah Emi Bridcutt[4] (Japanese); Julia McIlvaine[3] (English)
- A centaur who is the sole heiress of Scythia Transportation. A high ranked arena fighter, she was on a losing streak until Glenn realized her problem and was able to help her by giving her horseshoes. She is very open about her infatuation for Glenn and is not afraid to say so in public, mostly to annoy Sapphee, who she considers to be a friend and romantic rival.
- Lulala Heine (ルララ・ハイネ, Rurara Haine)
- Voiced by: Yukiyo Fujii[4] (Japanese); Ryan Bartley[3] (English)
- A mermaid who sings at the Merrow Waterways. She does this in order to provide financial support for her family. Even while suffering from inflammation of her gills due to staying above and out of water too much, she continued singing. She saved a boy from drowning and Glenn saves her from drowning due to her gills. She develops feelings for Glenn after he saved her and treated the inflammation.
- Arahnia Taranterra Arachnida (アラーニャ・タランテラ・アラクニダ, Arānya Tarantera Arakunida)
- Voiced by: Yū Shimamura[4] (Japanese); Wendee Lee[5] (English)
- An arachne who is a fashion designer, by sewing clothes with her own silk. She is a friend of Sapphee and has known her for a long time and has made several of her sunblocking outfits due to arachne silk being very durable. Her skill is so good, she can do minute stitchwork swiftly and efficiently (such as a surgeon). She tries to seduce Glenn originally to get a response from Sapphee and Tisalia, but soon realizes that she has fallen for him herself.
- Skadi Dragenfelt (スカディ・ドラーゲンフェルト, Sukadi Dorāgenferuto)
- Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki[6] (Japanese); Cherami Leigh (English)
- The chairwoman and head council representative of Lindworm. She was the dragon that was able to bring the humans and monsters together before they could destroy each other completely, bringing an end to the war and founding the city as an experiment to see if monsters and humans can co-exist. She is hundreds of years old, yet has the body of a young girl. She dresses head to toe in robes and a veil so few have seen her face, but they are used to hide a parasitic condition. Due to the condition, she rarely speaks above a whisper so her words are relayed by Kunai, but for those who have heard her speak normally say they can hear the power she possesses as well as her feelings. After the parasite is excised by Glenn and Cthulhy at the end of Volume 3, she is able to speak normally, and from time to time act impulsively and even childishly (such as challenging Tisalia during her promotion match, or sneaking midnight snacks), including declaring that she is interested in Glenn, much to Sapphee, Tisalia, and Kunai's chagrin.
- Kunai Zenow (苦無・ゼナウ)
- Voiced by: Maki Kawase[6] (Japanese); Lizzie Freeman[7] (English)
- The personal assistant and bodyguard to Lady Skadi. A rare flesh golem from the east, she was taken in by Skadi and becomes entirely devoted to her and takes her job seriously. However, due to her nature, she has been known to lose parts if she is damaged. Due to how she was created, she is not fond of doctors and she can hear the voices of those of the body parts she is created from. While she is very proud of her warrior nature, her heart is that of a pure maiden who develops feelings for Glenn after he helps repair her during a mission. Now she goes to him whenever she needs to replace her stitches or parts, because as he helps her, the voices are a lot quieter.
- Illy (イリィ, Irii)
- Voiced by: Sayumi Suzushiro[6] (Japanese); Kira Buckland[8] (English)
- A harpy who was captured by bandits and forced to lay eggs to be sold. However, she had an impacted egg from stress until Glenn helped her while Skadi and Sapphee held off the remaining bandits. Afterward, she and the others went to a nearby harpy village to live. However, she soon began to possess a stubborn and rebellious streak, which made the rest of the village upset. It is soon discovered that she is one of the rare phoenix harpy bloodline thought to be extinct due to the war. She now works as a messenger for the village and Skadi due to her fast flight ability and memory skills. She is also drawn to Glenn due to him saving her.
- Memé Redon (メメ・ルドン)
- Voiced by: Miho Okasaki[6]
- A cyclops who works at the Kuklo Workshop. She has issues due to dry eye because hers is larger than the others. However, it gives her more clarity in very fine work such as detailing and making surgical instruments like scalpels and needles that the hospital and Glenn use. She was inspired by Skadi to try to make things people could use to live. She also likes wearing Gothic Lolita outfits created by Arahnia. While she seems to have feelings for Glenn, she often feels embarrassed when she get closer to him.
- Kay Arte (ケイ・アルテ, Kei Arute)
- Voiced by: Fairouz Ai[6]
- A centaur who is one of Tisalia's attendants. She was a war orphan who was adopted by the Arte family, servants of the Scythia family.
- Lorna Arte (ローナ・アルテ, Rōna Arute)
- Voiced by: M.A.O[6] (Japanese); Sarah Anne Williams[9] (English)
- A centaur who is one of Tisalia's attendants. Like Kay, Lorna was a war orphan who was adopted by the Arte family. Due to her being more sensitive than Tisalia and Kay, she suffers from self-esteem issues and needs a more controlling hand than Kay. She is unknowingly into binding, which actually calms her down.
- Dione Nephilim (ディオネ・ネフィリム, Dione Nefirimu)
- Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto[6] (Japanese); Lizzie Freeman[10] (English)
- A rare gigas who lives near the harpy village and sees Glenn for a head cold while he was performing examinations at the village. Due to her size, she moves very slowly and carefully so not to injure any smaller creatures, but every step causes earthquakes and landslides. Though young for her race, she still is hundreds of years old and has known Cthulhy and Skadi for a long time. She is friends with Illy, who goes to her mountaintop to visit her. She is the one that identifies the parasitic heart of Skadi as a shoggoth.
- Cthulhy Squele (クトゥリフ・スキュル, Kuturifu Sukyuru)
- Voiced by: Yukana[6] (Japanese); Jeannie Tirado[11] (English)
- A Scylla who is the head medical doctor of the Lindworm Central Hospital. Cthulhy is the mentor and primary teacher of Glenn and Sapphee who had them start the clinic to expand their learning of medicine and to groom Glenn to take over for her one day. She has known Skadi for a long time, hinting she is hundreds of years old despite looking like she is in her 30s. She enjoys openly flirting with Glenn, much to the annoyance of Sapphee.
- Aluloona Loona (アルルーナ・ルーナ, Arurūna Rūna)
- Voiced by: Yō Taichi[12] (Japanese); Cherami Leigh (English)
- An alraune who is a member of the city council. Second-in-command to Skadi, she is in charge of agriculture.
- Molly Vanitas (モーリー・ヴァニタス, Mōrī Vuanitasu)
- The former shoggoth that was attached to Skadi. Once collected, she joined the skeleton of the former supervisor of the dead district and is working to make it a tourist attraction with the help of the undead residents. She uses a shovel as a weapon in order to keep the more unruly monsters in line. She is also highly interested in Glenn, more as a lover than a mate.
- Sioux Litbeit (スー・リトバイト, Sū Ritobaito)
- Glenn's sister from the east who suffers from Demonitis. She began sprouting horns from her forehead, which proves her family has more than just human blood in their ancestry, which lead her to overheating if she becomes flustered or overexerts herself until Glenn was able to help her. She currently works in the red light district as a patrol member. She considers Sapphee as her sister, and is friends with Memé and Arahnia. Due to all the women flocking to Glenn, she takes it upon herself, by orders of her mother, to find Glenn the most suitable to be his wife.
