Monster Musume Vol. 5

モンスター娘のいる日常 [Monster Musume no Iru Nichijō] #5

by Okayado

"Get married and I kill you." This was the letter sent to Kimihito, an ordinary guy living with a houseful of extraordinary beauties, by a mysterious writer known only as "D." Now it's up to Interspecies Coordinator Smith, Kimihito, and his ever-increasing menagerie of monster girls to find out who is behind the threatening letter before it's too late. The game plan? Use Kimihito as bait by sending him on a series of dates with monster girls. Along the way, several possible suspects emerge, each of whom has a "D" connection of one kind or another. Meanwhile, Kimihito's potential brides each begin acting strangely. Are they taking the fake dates too seriously -- or is something (or someone) far more sinister at work?

This is probably the raunchiest volume in the series to date, and to be honest, I can't say that that endeared it to me overmuch. On the other hand, Okayado introduces three new monster types, which is always interesting, and has succeeded in making Cerea more than the anachronistic swordswoman she began as. Sadly he has gone back to using screentone on breasts, which makes them appear coated in something, which is a major downside if you are reading this for the fanservice.

I found this one to be the cutest and one of the most entertaining so far. I loved the mix of characters.

Continuing where we last left off, Kimihito goes on several dates with the monster girls, intending to draw out his stalker.

An aquarium date leads to some sweet moments with Miia, until she is nearly kidnapped by a hot dragon lady, Draco, who thinks Miia belongs with another reptile-person instead of with a human. Accompanying them is Mero, who is slowly beginning to realize that she may want Kimihito to herself, and may not be as willing to cede him to Miia as she previously thought.

A hike and a picnic with Papi and Suu leads to a dangerous encounter with a dryad named Kii, who has been made sick and mutated by all the toxic waste that's been dumped in the forest, turning her into an enormous mutant tree. Suu mutates herself to fight her, and Papi and Kimihito work to pull the toxins out of Kii's body, in a... creative manner?

A walk in the park with Cerea leads to the pair encountering an impish devil named Lilith, who puppeteers them into perverse situations for her own amusement. Rachnera steps in to help with things get too out of control.

With three "D"s down and no stalker revealed, Kimihito goes on a series of dates with the girls from MON. This doesn't reveal his stalker either, but now the MON ladies are all a little bit into him as well (LOL).

There are a few moments in this one that went a little more perverted than I expected them to, but that's bound to happen sooner or later in this genre. And there were plenty of moments during the dates that I thought were genuinely cute! I kinda wish we got more chapters of just "man speed-dates a bunch of hot monster girls."

(Apparently his parents live in this house too? And they're just elusively "on vacation" during this series? I think it would be extremely funny to see them return and react to what's been going on in their house over the past several weeks. XD )

Die Reihe ist nicht für jedermann, aber ich liebe sie. Der Humor holt mich total ab und das alles extrem Etchi ist stört mich hier so gut wie gar nicht. Allerdings gab es hier eine Szene mit einer Dryade, die ich schon extrem fand und ich da auch gut drauf verzichten hätte können. Ansonsten könnte ich mich teilweise wegschmeißen vor lachen und finde die Charaktere interessant und süß. Mich überrascht immer wieder mit welchen Ideen der Mangaka aufwartet und welche neuen Fabelwesen dazukommen. In diesem Band kommt eine Dryade, ein Drachenmolch und ein Devil dazu. Diese Charakter peppen es wieder sehr auf und es wird nie langweilig in der Serie. Der männliche Hauptcharakter hat sich, für mich, von einer Witzfigut zu einem richtige tollen, verantwortungsbewussten Charakter entwickelt. Allerdings immer noch in dem Ausmaß, dass es zu einem Comedy-Manga passt.
Der Zeichenstil ist einfach genial. Ich liebe ihn abgöttisch. Er ist so witzig und ich liebe ja Mischwesen.

Story 4,0/5
(abwechslungsreich, neue Charaktere, eine Szene hätte für mich nicht sein müssen)
Charaktere 5+/5
(individuell, interessante Fabelwesen, super sympathischer Hauptcharakter)
Zeichenstil 5+/5
(mit das beste was ich kenne)
Gesamt 5,0/5

More progression through the plot, and even more fan service. Volume 5 of Monster Musume was fun and cute, but the story is nothing close to greatness. I am still enjoying this manga series, but it's definitely not for everyone.

[Soobie has fog in her brain]

Suu è un personaggio che non riesco a inquadrare. Certe volte lo apprezzo, altre non capisco cosa ci faccia lì. La storia del personaggio albero mi è piaciuta come senso, non mi è piaciuta proprio la ragazza albero...

Però è una serie perfetta da leggere prima di addormentarsi...

[David Doel]

Finally, in volume 5, there is a semblance of a story about a threatening letter. But, it's just used to cause Kimihito to date the "girls." And, also as an excuse for more boob shots -- boobs the size of basketballs. David -- read before you buy!

[Beni]

I forgot how much skin is in this series :O

[Julian Vanegas]

Great best book in the series

[Victoria Kitty]

Absolutely love this series. It's amusing, adorable and yet somewhat serious too.

One of the most original and exciting manga of the 2010's, Monster Musume is a refreshing and enjoyable take on the monster girl genre of Japan. A warning, this series is definitely for people over the age of 18, as there is a lot of nudity and sexual situations that parents may find unsettling in the story. In the not to distant future, a race called liminals, creatures who are half human and half animal, has made contact with the human race and initiate a cultural exchange, to allow liminals to experience and integrate into human society. One such liminal, Mia, a lamia, is accidentally placed with a hapless human student named Kimihito, and decides to remain with him as both a student and a love interest. During the course of the series, we meet, among other things, a harpy, a centaur, a mermaid, and many more monster girls who fall for Kimihito and wish to win him anyway possible. I would encourage this for all adult fans who enjoy comedy manga, harem manga and slice of life stories.

So they're still going on dates and preparing to capture this mysterious D. Kimihito goes on dates not only with the monster girls in his house, but a few from the squad assigned to protect him. Some drama, hints of a real growing romance, and a cliffhanger ending with a scythe.

[Melody]

It's a guilty pleasure; not the anime just the manga.
