Mukasete! Ryuugasaki-san

I'm honestly reading this just to see how much more of a degenerate our masochistic, reptile molting-fetish having main character becomes. Also ngl lizard-san is pretty good waifu material and is really the only "good" character in the manga. everyone else is hella bland or just kinda sucks.

The art is meh, the story is barely there its more of there everyday misadventures i guess, the characters all suck except Ryugasaki-san, and the manga is overall pretty mediocre but i keep reading for some reason so it's doing something right.

Anyways check it out if you have nothing to do but don't expect anything that groundbreaking.

Something with a præmise this outrageous deserves to be examined at the least, I guess.

This is a romantic comedy between a lizard-man and an ordinary human: the set-up is that the latter some-how managed to negotiate an arrangement to collect the molt of the former who must shed his skin every month or so: we're thrown in in medias res with little explanation as to why these lizard-men exist and how this arrangement came to be but their diverging biology from ordinary humans is explained gradually: they just exist in this world and the reader has to accept that: later on some flashbacks are provided that explain how this situation came to be.

We have two main characters:

Ryuugasaki is our female, teenage lizard-man with a quirky biology: he can scale walls with his gecko-like hands and feet; he sometimes has a tail, and sometimes not; has some interesting eyes; and last-but-not-least, needs to shed his skin every month or so much to the fascination of his love interest, Yugami — this could of course have been the perfect excuse to go with the finest d.f.c. man has ever known since lizards don't have mammaries, but alas: he has breasts.

Yugami is a male classmate of Ryuugasaki whom the latter has feelings for, that, at least initially, seems to be mostly fascinated by the former's quirky biology and collects the former's molt and uses it to create a statue of him — they of course grow closer together as the story progresses.

The narrative breaks tradition with both characters æqually serving as the perspective: the thoughts and perspectives of both are heard with the same frequency, whereas usually, the perspective of the ordinary character is the only one heard.

Apart from that there isn't really much of a story and a plot outside of its outrageous præmise: a lizard-man has a crush on an ordinary human; the latter collects the former's shed skin to create a live-size statue therewith... that's pretty much it. The chapters are very frequently released but also very short and mostly about nothing at all.
