What do world governments do when they learn that fantastical beings are not merely fiction, but flesh and blood-not to mention feather, hoof, and fang? Why, they create new regulations, of course, like the Interspecies Cultural Exchange Accord! When twenty-something Kurusu Kimihito becomes an involuntary "volunteer" in the government homestay program for monster girls, his world is turned upside down. A lamia named Miia is sent to live with him, and it's Kimihito's job to make sure the sexy snake girl integrates into everyday life. While cold-blooded Miia is hot for Kimihito, the penalties for interspecies breeding are dire. Even worse, when a buxom centaur girl, and a scantily-clad harpy move into Kimihito's house, what's a full-blooded young man with raging hormones to do?

Rabat, été 2015.Suite à la parution de son livre Dans le jardin de l’ogre, un roman cru et audacieux qui aborde la thématique de l’addiction sexuelle, Leila Slimani part à la rencontre de ses lectrices marocaines. Face à cette écrivaine francomaghrébine décomplexée qui aborde la sexualité sans tabou, la parole se libère. Au fil des pages, l’auteur recueille des témoignages intimes déchirants qui révèlent le malaise d’une société hypocrite dans laquelle la femme ne peut être que vierge ou épouse, et où tout ce qui est hors mariage est nié : prostitution, concubinage, homosexualité. Le code pénal punit toute transgression : un mois à un an de prison pour les relations hétérosexuelles hors mariage, six mois à trois ans de prison pour les relations homosexuelles, un à deux ans de prison pour les adultères. Soumises au mensonge institutionnalisé, ces femmes nous racontent les tragédies intimes qui égrènent leurs vies et celles des femmes qui les entourent : IVG clandestines, viols, lynchages, suicides. Toutes sont tiraillées entre le désir de se libérer de cette tyrannie et la crainte que cette libération n’entraîne l’effondrement des structures traditionnelles. A travers cette BD, il s’agit de faire entendre la réalité complexe d’un pays où l’islam est religion d’Etat. Et où le droit des femmes passera, avant tout, par la défense de leurs droits sexuels.
