Trivia[]
- The first volume came with 3 collector's post cards.
- Yonkoma manga (4コマ漫画, "four cell manga", or 4-koma for short) is a comic-strip format that generally consists of gag comic strips within four panels of equal size ordered from top to bottom. It is the preferred format for newspaper comics.
- Rachneras statement in Monster Girl Meals that Arachne doesn`t eat insects could be at least partially wrong, as Long Leg Breeds Arachne are known to hunt down househould pests (which are mostly insects). Perhaps Rachnera was referring to the fact that standard Arachne does not eat insects, while some of their subspecies do.
- Papi's desire to befriend a Ghost in Everyday Life with Ghosts can be viewed as ironic, due to her later encounter with Wladislaus in Chapter 51, who cruelly attempted to turn her into a Vampire.
