Common-Sense Monster

Itou just wants to make friends, but she’s a socially awkward girl who gets called a monster behind her back. If only she were more like Takahashi! That girl is totally ordinary, gets along with everyone, and…eats people?! In a gruesome turn of events, Itou discovers that her classmate Takahashi is actually a monster who’s learned to blend in perfectly with humans. Starstruck, Itou asks to be friends, and Takahashi starts teaching her how to act normal. But what does it really mean to be “normal”? And what is Takahashi truly after…?!

Itou is learning how to be “normal” from her classmate Takahashi, who, despite being a monster in disguise, is a social butterfly. But suddenly, the very teacher Takahashi killed returns as a monster. This new “Niehara-sensei” has a terrifying agenda: to eradicate and replace the normies of the world. As Itou grapples with Takahashi’s true nature—and her unwillingness to let Itou go—will she manage to stop Nie-sen before it’s too late?

Hiraizumi is dead, replaced by a monster…yet no one seems to notice that the new “Hiraizumi” is an impostor. Itou is torn between wanting to preserve everyone’s blissful ignorance and being unable to forgive the creature wearing Hiraizumi’s skin. Ultimately, she steels herself to kill both it and Nie-sen...But if she makes that choice, will she have to kill her beloved Takahashi too?
