A Guide to Raising Your Tentacle-Girl Girlfriend

Lin Chen never imagined that one act of kindness would send his ordinary life plunging into an indescribable abyss.

All he did was “pick up” a beautiful, amnesiac girl with long, straight black hair on a rainy night and bring her home. Her name was A Xi.

She was quiet and beautiful, knew nothing about common sense, had a taste for raw food, and possessed a gaze so pure it made his heart skip a beat.

It wasn't until nightfall that Lin Chen realized in horror that the girl he'd brought home wasn't a helpless waif, but an indescribable being who unfurled her tentacles in the moonlight and emanated the scent of the deep sea...

From then on, his daily life looked like this:

By day, he had to teach his expressionless, human-shaped girlfriend how to act like a “normal person.”

By night, he had to get used to the “thoughtful service” of being wrapped up in cold, slick tentacles as he slept.

He also had to stay on guard lest the neighbors or his mischievous friends discover their sweet yet horrifying secret.

And worst of all, his girlfriend's possessiveness seemed almost inhuman...

Just as Lin Chen grew accustomed to this sanity-draining routine and even began to enjoy the “intimate service” that went beyond human experience, bigger problems came one after another: strange investigators, fanatical believers, and the secrets about ancient beings gradually coming to light within A Xi...

This nonexistent Raising Manual is no guide to caring for a pet. It chronicles how an ordinary human and his Cthulhu-esque girlfriend go from physical adjustment to a meeting of souls, and ultimately compose an interspecies love story through one absurd yet heartwarming day after another.

This is a story about understanding, acceptance, and a love that transcends form.
