interviews with Monster Girls, Vol. 4 (My Kindle Review)

As the girls continue to embrace their monster selves and gaining positive self esteem, Sato-sensei gets the idea that maybe he’s spending too much of his time with them and that they no longer need his guidance. Yet of course, he gets a change of heart. A (100%/Outstanding)

This series has a strong foundation in learning, which is appropriate because the main character is a teacher and a scientist, with the setting in a high school. This volume though goes beyond that when it has a chapter that tries to explain the physics of a dullahan and her neck with quantum theory. It is indeed fascinating to read that chapter.

It also has a surprisingly heart warming chapter. This is the best volume in the series yet.

fun, interesting, and heartwarming volume. we get a few scientific chapters, where tetsuo’s old school colleague hypothesizes on the physics of machi’s dullahan body. then, there’s a focus on tetsuo’s inner struggle of trying not to be too involved with the demis lives - is he acting as too much of a crutch, interfering with their independence and growth, etc. I loved how the other human students get their share of the spotlight, which shows tremendous growth for some of them! and the video the demis make for tetsuo is sooooo sweet and cute. having a supportive teacher like him can make all the difference, and it’s so nice to see his reaction to their appreciation.

also, the hikari and himari sister chapter at the beginning was extremely wholesome ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

[Glasdow Teacosy]

A thoughtful and inspiring manga.

Art: ★★★★★
Story: ★★★★★

This manga is insightful and heart-warming as well as entertaining. The characters’ worries, their needs, their personalities…all so unique and different. The concepts involved are also deeply explored by the mangaka. I also appreciated the philosophical questions raised. They challenged scientific, ethical, and societal tropes. For example, if we pretend that demis are no different than other humans in an effort to not be discriminatory, aren’t we ignoring the very aspects of their being that make them different and unique?

This was a wonderful volume all around.

Love it, love it, love it!

Such a fun series. It so lovingly handles the way it should be with differently abled people. Honest reflection, discussion to better understand, open-mindedness, respect, & kindness. It's good to see other students standing up for the girls. This is how it should be in RL. Art, good. Dialogue, great. Characters, likeable, loveable, adorable. Especially the girls. I'd love to be friends with them.

[Mehsi]

A fun volume, but I seriously tuned out so much with the chapters about Machi and quantum/worm hole stuff *yawn*. But the rest was fun and I love seeing not just sensei's POV but also the demi's and other people. I love learning more about the demis and I love all the sensei does for them. However, this one felt like it was the end? Given the sadness of the sensei, the way the human classmates had that discussion, given the letter, and the end.

[AsianMerr]

Best volume so far with the topics discussed here. The bullying the demi girls might go to was interesting to see tackled, the questions about them that have been stereotyped being talked about here. Great that we saw this, I don’t like the sister in this series but the mirror chapter was good to see that she’s not a total bully, awesome stuff here honestly.

[Xavier]

It's a good take to try and ground the demi girls into reality by explaining the physics and dispelling myths about them that just wouldn't be practical from a storytelling perspective. There's definitely some effort here to attempt to flesh out the characters.

[ChelseaFace]

This volume is probably my least favorite so far. I did not care for the vice principal chapter or the teacher friend chapter. It was so boring and felt pointless. I hope the next volume gets better again. I want the romance between the teachers kicks up soon.

[Snail]

I'm so glad this manga exists. It really brightens my day.

[Edric Unsane]

Another well done volume in the series. The art and story were all very good and I am definitely enjoying it so far.

[Molly Who]

I really love that we get to see all the Demi's interacting more with not only each other but their classmates as well!

[Anne (ReadEatGameRepeat)]

This is just such a light funny series and i really appreciate the conversations in this volume both about the academic spark and how humans and demis interact.

[Melissa Conn]

This one actually made me tear up a little!

[Philmore Olazo]

We’re introduced to what is, at least in my opinion, the most boring part of the series. Yasutada, and old friend of Tetsuo. They discuss Kyoko's nature, she’s the headless girl, and how this may have a scientific explanation.

Yes, I guess it’s fine to try and explain something as weird as a human with a detached head, that’s somehow still alive. But really, Yasutada is as enjoyable as metal bit cereal.

Anyways, it’s always cute to have professor Sakie relate to one of the girls about being a sort of outcast at that age. Since we’re told she lives through something similar when she was at high school.

[Ainara M]

Simple, funny, and lovable. I really like how in this world the demis are introduced as normal teenagers, with the same problems. Still, the characters are unique and incredibly well developed.
