Spoilers for episode 5′s monster below!
This is Sujikawa Honeo (hone = bone, suji = muscle), the Chicken Carcass Monster (voiced by Hisayoshi Suganuma). He’s been worried about not getting fat ever since he was small and so he’s in a vicious circle of doing things like consuming a lot of calories and consuming a lot of protein. Whenever he eats, he sucks all the nutrition out of things, so he becomes the Chicken Carcass Monster. He attacks by flinging the broth in his bowl in all directions, but the Defence Club call it “delicious” and give it a favourable reputation.
A new event has been announced for the character songs on June 16th. Purchasers of the ~ Happy and Set! ~ character songs at the kyanime.jp site may go into the lottery to win tickets to this. See the details here.

Spoilers below for the monster of the week in Happy Kiss episode 3.
This is Usui Hajime, the Bag Closure Monster. He’s voiced by Toshiyuki Toyonaga, who’s the voice of Yuri Katsuki in Yuri!!! on Ice among other roles.
From birth, his presence has been shallow (i.e. people don’t really notice him). He has a part-time job at an ice-cream shop and can accurately produce even the longest of ice-cream orders. However, he gets angry over his self-worth, which makes him a target of Furanui. He attacks anyone that calls a thing “that thing” and uses an illusion where the more familiar an item’s name was previously, the more likely it is to not be permeated.
(Feel free to pitch in with corrections on this monster’s description - the Japanese description’s kinda vague...)
Today’s Hapikome is Komata’s, so let’s find out what he does to fill in the gaps for “You see, actually I am _________.”
The next Hapinama is on the next Binanshi for this month (this coming Sunday) at 9 pm, Japanese time. Check these YouTube LIVE and LINE LIVE links when it comes.
Now’s the time to snap up priority tickets for the CG LIVE! event. If you’re one of the fastest to do so, you’ll even get a Binan High student card.
Info about Hapinama 15 under the cut.
The important things about this Hapinama were just the showing off of merch for the CG LIVE! and Taikousen! (Competition!) events.
As usual, there were songs played.
Of course, you can’t forget about the other HK things going on right now...
...and as for other entertainment, there was the “kiss food to guess what it is” game. Komata = chocolate (block), Ishii = broccoli, Shimotsuru = banana (he ate the banana afterwards), Yasuda = natto and Hayama = sardine. Notably, Komata and Hayama were the only 2 to be wrong out of 5. Yasuda seems to like natto, oddly enough. Also, they did piggybacking as punishment (as in, one of the VAs with an incorrect answer had to give one of the VAs with a correct answer a piggyback).
However, before that the seiyuus did their “write your answer on a book based on a sent-in prompt” game which has appeared in multiple previous Hapinamas. They also discussed Valentine’s Day and did a pointing game (e.g. "who would you like to get homemade chocolate from (out of your fellow seiyuu who are present right now)?" and pointing at their answer).
