I Found an Octopus Girl

[Socially anxious shut-in manga artist × amnesiac, possessive, obsessive octopus girl]

Su Nian's rules for survival were simple: don't go out, don't socialize, and don't make eye contact with anyone for more than three seconds.

Until she broke every one of those rules and carried an unconscious octopus beastwoman home on a rainy night.

After that

Someone cooked for her, accompanied her when she went out, and stood up for her whenever anyone picked on her.

The only “side effect” was that the beastwoman's eight tentacles seemed to grow more and more unwilling to leave her alone.

She had to wrap herself around Su Nian when they slept, stay close while cooking, and quietly watch even when Su Nian was drawing.

“Are you spying on me?” Su Nian demanded.

“No,” Vera's tentacles guiltily curled up behind her. “I'm just looking at my whole world.”
