Interviews with Monster Girls, Vol. 3

Interviews with Monster Girls #3

by Petos

They were once feared and forced to live in the shadows. But as modern society grew more enlightened, human beings began to realize that monsters like succubi, dullahans, and vampires deserve public services as much as anyone. Still, a girls' high school for monsters? It sounds like a nightmare, but for one man it's a dream job. Tetsuo has always been fascinated by "demi-humans," and a job opening for a biology teacher at this school is his chance to see them firsthand!

Okay. This volume made it clear that while it has a lot of harem manga attributes, it is not actually a harem - the way Takahashi reacts to the girls is appropriate, and the way Petos portrays Machi's crush on him is worlds different from how they portray Sato's. It's made clear that the girls have schoolgirl crushes, but only Sato, as an adult, has the maturity to handle what most relationships entail, and that Takahashi is attracted to her in part because she is an adult woman. Yes, the harem elements are still there (ugh), but these young girls are not sexualized for the reader's enjoyment. Even Sato's desire for Takahashi is treated respectfully, though her arousal is meant to be funny.

I am honestly really, really enjoying this! There's a lot of interesting commentary on marginalization hidden in here, a lot of discussion of how differences create challenges that regular people may not even consider, and the effort required to overcome those differences; it's upbeat, entertaining, and heartwarming, and I'm really excited to keep reading it.

I really liked this book. I think that this book really starts to show a lot of true feelings with other characters. So it shows how the characters really care for each other. This book is about monsters girls. They live in a place where the monsters were once feared and hated but things have changed with time. There are three girls that are students one a Vampire, dullahan and then Ice women. Then there is a succubi teacher. There all have met with a male teacher that is very interested with their uniqueness and he wants to learn more, for example, he wants to know how do succubi fall in love and know it is just not her powers and then what is true about vampire myths and other myths with the monsters. I would recommend this book to people that like manga and like this series. I would also recommend the first book to people that like monsters and funny moments and moments that don't die down

Interviews with Monster Girls, Vol. 3 (My Kindle Review)

As the detectives learn more about Takahashi and his group, the girls try to get their grades back up, and Sato-sensei may unleash her inner succubus at him. A- (91%/Excellent)

This series is getting better and better. This is my favorite yet. The cover is well deserved for the resident succubus and math teacher, Sato-sensei; the majority of the stories in this volume center around her.

This series continues to be an enjoyable read. It's funny, lighthearted, and well written.

The teacher grows closer to his classmates and a very special teacher.

This really is a fun series!

So many good lessons about being different, & what it MEANS to be different. I highly recommend this series to all junior high & high schoolers. It can really be an inspiration. We, the human race, should celebrate our differences. Every one of us has been created by a loving God, who wants us to be happy, & at peace. Going to school can be so so very difficult for any kids/teens who are differently abled in any way. Kids can be very cruel. We need to give our kids inspiration, not condemnation. "Do not judge, lest ye be judged; do not accuse, lest ye be accused" and "Anyone who calls his fellow man RAKA! (Or fool, or basically judging) is in danger of the fires of hell". We need more manga like this. There may not be monster girls on this plane of existence, but people can be close-minded, discriminatory, & judgemental. Ok, off the soapbox. Art, simplistic, yet very fitting. Dialogue, excellent. Characters, loveable, likeable, & relatable.

I loved the focus on sato-sensei (the age appropriate, conventionally attractive, succubus math teacher). the other chapters continue to be cute and wholesome. I think the mangaka has done a great job at capturing the high school experience, and especially the experience of marginalized girls. as with the past volumes, the female friendships are truly what make this special and oh-so-heartwarming. The harem elements are not uncomfy or highlighted nearly at all in this one.

I love love love the art and especially the shading in this series. Great pacing for the gags (especially with how each chapter ends, and the 4Koma), likeable characters... I'm happy as a clam. Keep it coming, Petos-sensei! 💕

I kinda like the series

Looking at how a story about monsters living in society spends so much of its time exploring the different flavours of crushes instead of action packed scenes of vampires hunting people... the result isn’t bad.

[ChelseaFace · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good volume, but there are some weird choices made with inner dialog. Why is everything sexual? I feel like this author just has a monster fetish, which would normally be ok, but make the people older.

[Mykhailo Gasyuk · Rating 3 out of 5]

Без одкровень: та сама легенька історія про міфологічних дівчат, які переживають період підліткових закоханостей. Історія про суккуба трохи оживляє цей том, але ні до чого не призводить. Любителі романтичних комедій зрадіють, напевно.

3/5

[Edric Unsane · Rating 4 out of 5]

More of the same cute story and good art. This series is just heartwarming.

[Xavier · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like the art and the story is good but I didn't like the detective or his kid partner character. Their involvement in the story seemed pointless.

3,5

[Vitaliy Hristyuk · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very nice

Warm, fuzzy and very wholesome... Exactly what you need for escapism. And to be honest - we all need it sometimes.

[AsianMerr · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s a solid series so far but when are we gonna acknowledge that the students are falling in love with the teacher????

[Boosh Tasticc · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's cute ❤️ genuinely enjoying the series. Nothing too deep or serious, and everything is wonderfully age appropriate.

[Melissa Conn · Rating 4 out of 5]

(I don't think saying this is spoiling anything) I love how the other teacher has fallen for our main character. This has still remained very cute. I have faith it will stay cute.

That feeling of being physically inappropriate or the shyness to go and talk to someone you’re interested in can sometimes, by any other reason, persist to your adult life. Even when you’re good looking you may experience this sensation.

I guess this is what this volume was getting at when talking about professor Satou's part of the story. Yes, she’s different being a succubus and all. But I can’t ignore what was being told here.

Again, it took encouragement from someone like Tetsuo, who’s stoic nature is quite catching to someone like Sakie, to take her out of her comfort zone.
