Plot
With their mothers all giving them their blessing to pursue their relationships, Papi, Miia and Centorea all become more possessive of Kimihito, resulting in him gaining more injuries. Furthermore, due to overhearing Smith querying him on whom he intended to marry, Suu, Meroune and Rachnera also wish to pursue a relationship with him. Additionally, the girls' mischief keeps sending him to the River Styx where he encounters Lala who keeps watching him return to the living world due to his continual will to keep the other girls happy (a tendency that attracts her to him as well).

Key Events

 * Lala is revealed to be an actual Shinigami, though so far only Kimihito is aware of this.
 * Lala reveals that unlike the other six homestay girls, she has no interest in marrying Kimihito, although it is obvious that she still loves him due to his kindness. However, she tells Kimihito that due to the fact that she is a Dullahan, when he dies his soul will be hers.
 * It is revealed, that Kimihito has a great-grandfather, who died prior to the events of the manga series.
 * The Kurusu House is wrecked due to Centorea accidentally breaking through the weak attic floor. The inhabitants have to temporarily move out while it's being repaired.

Trivia

 * Kimihito mentions about the Sanzu River when he's experiencing the near-death experience.
 * It is believed to be the boundary between the realms of the living and the dead, the dead must cross the river on their way to the realm known as Higan; an endless flower garden where there are no nights or days and no seasons, just a gentle warm light that covers the place as the dead await judgement on whether they will enter the Netherworld (following which they will eventually be re-encarnated and return to the world of the living) or Hell (where they will be doomed to remain for eternity).
 * The cover of this chapter resembles the opening scene of the anime.
 * In the second segment of the fourth episode of the anime Centaur no Nayami, the character Nozomi Gokuraku reads manga instead of studying. The book she holds shows the fourth and fifth pages of chapter 30 of Monster Musume.
 * Although Kimihito learns about Lala's powers in this chapter, it is later revealed in chapter 38 that Kimihito always forgets everything he experiences in the afterlife when he wakes up again. He can only remember past visits whenever he revisits the afterlife, so it's ambiguous to say whether Kimihito actually knows about Lala's supernatural powers.
