Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou

This manga is a very interesting one, it’s filled with humor, is fairly action-packed and shows plenty of adventure in every chapter. There is also plenty of detail in the artwork, looking very nice deep, but can sometimes look blurry also and jagged. As for being an ecchi manga, its clearly shown in just about every chapter and is shown very often, there are also many ecchi scenes can be seen throughout the entire series. In each volume, a new monster girl is introduced to live with Kimihito. Each one has a quick, yet mostly brief introduction as well.

This manga is very fun to read, it’s very humorous, outgoing, and overall unique. This manga is recommended for anyone who enjoys comedy, fantasy, and romance along with a slice of life.

I am someone who first watched the anime and then reverted to manga. And the only thing I experienced was pure enjoyment both the times. Even the Chapters I had already watched over in the anime gave the same taste of Enjoyment as they gave off in the anime. This series is truly worth for what it's genre are "Best Harem Development", "Best (Accidental/Or Not) Ecchi stuff", "Best Romance", "Girls", "Comedy at it's Best".
Damn it the Monster Girls have been so well described and their habits too. It almost seems like the real animals. The author has really blended the animal instincts/behaviour pattern, their features, powers everything in the girls. My point was that the author really did a lot of research for developing this masterpiece. If you wanna read it just go for it without a second thought.
Peace out.

Ooh boy. There are guilty pleasures. Like eating a whole bucket of KFC original recipe by yourself.

Then there's the deep fried, bacon wrapped, meat stuffed, chocolate sauce covered excess decadence of something that exceeds guilty pleasures. It's sinfully bad in a good way.

That's how I feel about MonMusu. Once upon a time, I too, stood upon the moral high ground turning my nose up at the those gorging themselves upon the debauchery of monster girl harem comedy. But a thought took root in my mind- "Give it a go."

And since I thought that obviously there would be no harm, and I would immediately see I was right about the quality of the material, I opened up the first chapter.

And here I am. Neck deep in the stuff that repulses society most, and loving every minute of it.

Now, Monster Musume is a simple manga. There are girls who are monsters, increasing in number as the story progresses, all competing in the Waifu Bowl where the winner gets to ride the MC's dick. Standard stuff. This premise means that the manga must stand on the quality of its comedy, characters, and setting.

And on those three previously stated counts, it passes with flying colors. It's consistently funny, with characters that don't feel boring. Things are kept spicy, and there's never a point where the story feels like it drags its feet overly long.

If you're not sure whether to read this or not, read it. That's my opinion as a professional degenerate.

The more I read this manga the more I realized something. The girls in this manga aren't the real monsters. The real monsters are the ones who are reading it.

If the phrase "monster harem" is something that interests you, then what more questions could you have? Does story matter? Does character development matter? Does any of this matter?

Monster Musume is a niche pick for people who are already too deep and can't go back. That being said, it's not the worst, but it's probably what you'd expect

If you're not ready, then don't read it, but if you are, then have fun

Best cock tease I've ever laid witness to. Would read again.

I went into this wanting pleasurable monster girl shenanigans and it gave it to me in droves. Like, I wasn't really expecting to actually fall in love with this manga, I really wasn't. I expected to like it; good for relaxing time if you catch my drift, but it ended up hooking me in with it's monster like claws, and I honestly was too stunned by my euphoria to notice the blood leaking from my back where it hooked me.

I suppose the blood would be all the mortal shame I've shed after realizing my taste is now the worst, utterly the worst. But I don't care, cause shame be damned if this wasn't a good ride, and one I look forward to continue with each new chapter.

To be a bit critical, what people will enjoy the most in this is the characters, each one being kinda trope-y, but in a good way, as in they come off as fun and carry you along into the world they inhabit.

And tits, can't forget tits, and ass for those who like ass. Unfortunately there is no donkey monster girls yet, so the ass-y-ness of it all only goes so far.

Though, cause this isn't really trying to compel you in any way, and is more for those who enjoy silly comedy, the story is rather lackluster. Not bad, it's good in the sense it carries the characters along, and puts them in situations beyond entertaining, it's just not going to make you feel emotions in your heart. Your dick will do just fine, or clit for those who have those.

This gets my seal of approval for what it's worth. Certified fresh from the internet's number one thot patroller.

I have read all available manga at the point of writing this (vol 14). Its a high ecchi harem story with monster girls. First without spoilers it has a semi weak story as its mostly set up these characters meeting and interacting with one another, which is the main enjoyment is the humor. It doesn't try to be much more then a funny manga with crazy character designs but at times does bring up some interesting stuff like immigration, mortality, and other subjects with these characters with humor (see spoilers for examples).

CONS
The characters personalities are simple at first in it but can be seen the writer probably took constructive criticism on that matter and tried to fix it with a decent amount of success once you get past where the anime and OVA's end as they get more aspects start to shine through (the anime covers up to vol 6 only). The story is simply to prove a human can have a functional romantic relationship (and later marriage) by using the main character as "test study" but i found that the simple fact all of these characters living together without the characters murdering each other or fighting tooth, nail, hoof, and claw when living with a male who is a common romantic interest proof enough that a full integration of all the races can be done, which should be a more important matter. Also i got really annoyed with the laws saying humans cant ever harm a non human or vice versa regardless of self defense or otherwise which makes no sense at all. Heck it even got in the way of cops dealing with a issue with Orcs in a scene as they "were not allowed to use force" when the orcs have hostages and firearms so makes no sense.

PROS
This series is very fun to read just on seeing the next interesting character or race to come up and the most fun part for me is the tons of nods and references to everything from American horror films like Final Destination to video games to Godzilla and kaiju battles to George A Romero fans and the feels towards running style zombies as one character said "fast zombies are okay, but give me a proper shambling horde any day!"." Those of course are the pros beyond the fun art and funny ecchi scenes. The main can be a pro or con depending on why you look at this as hes simple but clearly a honest and likable guy along with him clearly liking all of them (hes in essence a honest and kind guy while having no problem looking at the girls "assets" sometimes) so works well as a character any male reader can imagine putting themselves in his position in.

SPECIFIC SCENES I WISH TO MENTION (Partial spoilers ahead)
There's a few scenes that it does something smart in that i wish to bring up to show this is not just silly ecchi fan service and humor even though a lot of it kinda is. The most common of them being about immigration of these races and even of a few of them should be considered even sentient for the races like slimes as they technically don't have a brain and one of the main cast is one. Also a very specific scene with a character named Lala who she always talks like shes the grim reaper herself as shes a Dullahan (in essence a headless horseman style being) and was talking as such in a hospital around a group of kids staying there which lead to a very somber moment for her as a character as one of them was dying. This scene stands out as the best scene in the entire manga hands down so i wont spoil it.

So ya its fun, enjoyable but nowhere near above any kind of criticism even though its one of the most fun manga i have read

"ZOUNDS!"

Harem is a typical genre being overused in Japan since the start. To ether cater to the male, and sometimes female demographic. All of the shows/manga that has been produced as a harem have always been a huge hit, or a massive failing miss. Monster Musume is somewhere in between, but it tilts towards the good side more. Here's why.

This series is straight up bizarre. There is a bevy of sexy women who are half animals. And their cup sizes range from A, all the way to P, and beyond (Whoa, lots of bazonkers!). So any ecchi fan will be satisfied while reading this manga. A really strange thing about this manga series is that it actually can teach about how animals use their bodies. Like at some point a factoid gets weirdly shot out like "Male seahorses are usually the ones to give birth", etc. If this ever gets to be a dubbed anime, then National Geographic should consider showing it on their cable channel for more *research*.

Thorns are spread out on the road for this manga series (Literally, and figuratively). One thorn that really takes a chunk out of it is that sometimes the author seems to be forgetting what kind of dialogue should Cerea have. Sometimes she sounds like a normal woman, then other times she sounds like a complete Norse mythology Goddess. Shouting "HALT!", "THY!", and for comedy reasons "Zounds!". "Zounds!" sort of makes her look really cute. Speaking of "Zounds". There are also puns, A LOT OF puns (Dirty jokes too). That isn't much of a hassle. But it can get really ridiculous sometimes. One of the books even has "Fifty shades of neigh" written in the back. Another thorn to be found is that it sometimes feels repetitive. How? Well there's always breast feeding, accidental nip slips, funny dates, and the occasional softcore hentai.

However eventually that repetition gets more interesting because the author starts adding some new things to the mix. Like a monster brawl, and a newer batch of monster girls. There is also some action like a hostage situation being disarmed by a SWAT team of monster girls. The characters are super cute, and the monster girls each have their own really unique design. The anatomy is superb on each of them. It all works, and there is variety. The only thing that is bothersome is that the main character (Kurusu Kimihito) barely has any facial expressions at all. All he does is look shocked/scared, and that's it. Oh, and the boobs look really wonderful too (Yes, can't forget about that detail... that's really important). The coloring is neatly done. And the backgrounds are structurally sound (It's not important as the big luscious milky honkers, or the round plump booties, but still). This series has almost everything. Sometimes it does have a main story, but usually that story gets canned to the curb.

On A Personal Note: I really enjoyed reading this series, and I will continue to do so. This is one of those rare ecchi treats that actually have more things to show other than cleavage. I did like the ecchi that is has though, and I was pretty depressed when it started to get toned down (Puts away the lotions, and tissues)......but then the ecchi came back again, and I was celebrating (Brings back lotions, and tissues)! Monster Musume also has these really cool bios of all of the girls in the end of each book. That is one of the reasons why I am not going to return these books to the store, I'll keep them in my library for many years to come. At first I was daunted when I started reading this. I mean I saw a centaur girl? And all I thought was "Okay. She looks good. Her boobs are gorgeous..... and huge.......how are the mechanics going to work on banging her though?". But.......then I resolved that issue......eventually, after a few rounds of fa- actually something tells me that this series could turn people into furries. I am not one, of course..........until I see Cheetara from the ThunderCats, the 2011 version that is. I am really glad that there is more comedy ecchi, than serious ecchi out there these days. Because ecchi can't be a serious genre no matter what. I mean when boobs flying for no reason are the main point, then why would I be interested in the lackluster writing, and dialogue? Monster Musume does not have terrible writing, just dumb jokes (Which is a really good thing). And the dialogue is not bad at all. It's solid. Thank goodness.

If you're looking for something different in terms of ecchi. Give this a go. It's quite the ride (Cerea is too).

"ZOUUUUUUUUUNDS!!!!"

If you are just reading this to learn how much of the manga that was adapted into the anime I can tell you it was the first 6 books (26 chapters) and there are no major changes between the anime and the books. Now onto the review.

Some might see me giving Monster Musume an overall score of 5/10 as meaning that I think it is a bad manga. This is not the case. To me 5/10 means that is was a fine read but not a manga I would read again and I can't see myself recommending it to a friend.

The art is in my opinion the best part of Monster Musume and is responsible for it never becomming a boring read. The bacgrounds never stood out but the characters and their expressions and reactions are well drawn. The girls are espetially beautifully drawn and even though the scenes from time to time becomes very sexual it never becomes vulgar though it does come close a few times. So 8/10

The story (or lack thereof) is my main issue with this manga. For a story to be a story there has to be some form of progression otherwise it is simply a 'setting'. And that is what Monster Musume is, a setting. after the last of the girls have moved in the story ends, anything after that has more or less no lasting influence on the characters or the overall plot of the manga. I like the setting but I would also like a story to come with it. The humor also becomes very repetitive as a result of this. So 2/10

The female main characters of Monster Musume are more rounded persons and less tropes than you see in other ecchi harem mangas. They do however suffer from the lack of story progression which means that there are little to no character growth after the girls introduction arc. If anything the girls become more and more two dimensional as the manga progresses and their most dominant personality trait is the only trait that is shown due to less time dedicated to each character. So 4/10
The male protagonist is a two dimensional character with no defining features. Despite being and adult and having beautiful women throwing themselves at him his main response to the thought of sex is shock and fear. He is the worst part of this manga but I also dislike the 'weak male protagonist' trope. So 1/10

Overall is Monster Musume for you if you don't like to read much and like the setting of horny monster girls living with a man who seams to be afraid of the thought of having sex.

I'd like to start out saying "YES, THIS IS A HAREM MANGA." That being said, the harem motif isn' t really the defining factor of this story, but more like an instigator for action (without it, I'd see no reason for all these monster girls to conglomerate together)

However, not everyone in the harem is in love with main guy. Some have a mutual respect, others feelings more akin to sibling-hood. So, it doesn't always become a love brawl (even though there is always a match-up every chapter)

The premise of the story is a bit farfetched, but the execution isn't done half bad. The way in which the author introduces each character almost makes you believe they are all "REAL" species in the amount of attention to finer details to the real life counterpart each species is based off.

But, the downside to having so many characters is that very FEW of them are multifaceted, Most of the characters hold singular personally roles (in spades) and hardly deviate from character. But, being able to see so many of my favorite monster girls as characters makes me realize there has to be shortcomings somewhere.

To me, the manga is HEAVY on teaching a moral lesson (yes, there IS a lesson in this harem madness) in that we should all accept our fellow man ("interspecies"). Because of the preachy nature of said moral, the main guy character can come out a bit one-dimensional in that he accepts ANYTHING to a fault.

I wish that sometimes he would deviate from his "goody-too-shoes" nature and have a darker side that comes to light (but that is probably just me looking for an anti-hero main guy).

Still, the overall tone of the manga never stays in one place for too long, just the right amount of balance between harems, comedy, and moral ethics thrown in to make a ever interesting manga to read. (ALSO SO MUCH FANSERVICE FOR A MONSTER GIRL FANATIC LIKE ME!!!!)

I'll start off by saying that I'm not a huge manga person. I'm more of an anime person and just watch the anime then read the manga. However; since this is one of those that don't have an anime and from what I've read thus far. Not only is this an acception to that, but I can also safely say that I'm enjoying this manga thus far.

I've read all 16 chapters of the story thus far and so far have enjoyed the story. So far, the characters that we have are Kurusu; the only human male that this story resembles around and the main protagonist of course. Then we've got Miia who's a Lamia, (half snake, half women). Papi, who's a Harpy; by the way, am I the only one who notices that, that rhymes? Centorea, who's obviously a centaur since it's in her name. Suu, who's a blue slime monster. Lorelei, who's a mermaid, and the new one; Arachnera; who's obviously an arachnid.

Right now; I'm enjoying the story thus far and I will admit. While the story doesn't really have a plot to it since we just keep getting more and more monster girls for this guy and it just keeps building up to more suspense but nothing really comes from it except pain. It just doesn't seems to really be leading anywhere and lord knows of how long it'll last, how many more characters we keep getting, and when it'll eventually end and how it will end. Now; I will say this. Even though it doesn't have a plot to it and it's not really leading anywhere. The story that's been telling us thus far is freaking hillarious, especially; in like the first 10 chapters. When I first started reading this and when we got to the point where Centorea had been introduced. Things not only got crazy but freaking hillarious. I was laughing my ass off so much that I almost died from laughing. It may not have a plot, but really makes up for it with it's hillarious scenes.

The art work is just great. It is a little sad though that only certain parts of it like the introduction of a new volume or at the beginning is in color and the rest is in black and white. Cause if it was all in color, it would probably look even more grander. However; while it is mostly all in black and white, the drawing of the characters, the scenery and everything else really makes up for that fact because the drawing is just great.

The characters are pretty good and are one of the things that makes this manga real freaking hillarious. I mean; you actually do feel sorry for this kid; Kurusu, because he's getting pulled into all these directions. He's getting pumbled to death by these girls and they are actually competeting for him, and that my friends does lead to great comedy and that's what this manga really is, it's mainly comedy while it does have some great romantic scenes in it as well. As of right now; my most favorite character is Arachnera. Yeah, thought I was gonna choose Miia didn't ya? That doesn't mean though that I don't like Miia because I really do as well as the others, especially; Centorea. I do like Miia a lot, especially; in the first several chapters. She's sweet, she's loyal, she's hot as hell, and really knows how to show her vengeful side when she has to. However; the reason why I like Arachnera more is because you do actually get a little bit of a background story with her when she comes in. I also love of how sneaky she is and the fact that she's a spider, really just makes her even more sneaky and would come out of the last place you'd expect to find her. Granted, I'm not a huge fan of spiders, not saying that I'm scared of them or something because I'm not, but there's just something that I really like about her.

As I've said before, while the story is a little lacking and there isn't a plot to the story, it's the characters and the comedy of this manga that keeps it going because it is hillarious and I'm just loving it. It's a lot of fun and you'll just enjoy reading it. It's not really a porno manga since there isn't actually any sex going on but does have some exposure and even that is what makes it hillarious in some points but depends on where it goes. If you wanna know what I'm talking about. Read it until you get to chapter 6 and read that, because that's where it really gets hillarious. This is one of the few that I'm gonna keep reading and am really looking forward to when the next chapter comes out.
