That Monster Musume series is really, well, a monster. My guess is that it's only a matter of time before we get an anime.

I'm reading three of the series on this list, Monster Musume, Nisekoi, and Attack on Titan. So I'm glad to see all of then doing so well! I'd love to see an anime adaption of Monster Musume but I don't think it will happen. Not with out heavy censoring anyway!

If they can make an anime out of To Love-Ru Darkness and its level of blatant sexuality, they can make an anime out of Monster Musume.

That hopefully assumes a studio like XEBEC is given the adaptation and not JC Staff or whomever else. TLDR and Maken-ki 2 are proof enough. It's not like the nudity is integral to the structure of the story, but one of the main points of the manga is "monster girl fanservice and titillation". Censorship for TV is more or less guaranteed, but that's why the they're really only advertisements for the BDs. For more straight up linear story, there's 12 Beast by the same author, but the same level of entertainment isn't really present there. But who knows if it'll ever get adapted, studios and production committees can be really weird sometimes, like why did Horizon not get anymore animated after selling 20k copies, surely one of the best hits of this decade so far?

GundamZX is right. Also, the NY Times page correctly says "SEVEN DEADLY SINS, VOL. 2".

Watamote said one word to this fact. And yeah, it actually sells even in Japan.

I'm really baffled at how much this manga is taking off. I do have to admit it is funny. I've been trying to read the other books but not many libraries carry it. Kudos to the artist. Let's hope he can keep it going.
