Sachi and Makie had a fairly awkward first date, but by the time Makie’s back at their home something is really eating at him. Trying to figure out a normal girl is hard enough, but one who can’t seem to decide whether he’s main squeeze or main course is even worse...
Okay, you get me on a good day and I’ll give this a higher rating than it necessarily deserves. When Makie comes home to a massive crater where his house was and his next door childhood friend having had hers wrecked as well, I bunkered down to be very cross with the trite storytelling.
Then the revelations start flying and they are wholly (hole-y?) satisfying and completely upend everything I was expecting. It’s very good plotting and I like the way this all works out in the end. It’s a good twist to the expected. There’s a weird, fun dynamic to this book that I’m appreciating.
With no home to speak of, Makie and Sachi end up at her place and have one of many heart-to-hearts. The work that Sachi is putting in to be more human than watari is really sweet and their chemistry together is a lot of fun - the way they enter the apartment is something else.
Then we hit the beach and, well, look, I am not made of stone. This looks like we’re about to introduce a whole rival dynamic that I am so not feeling... plus expected beach antics and then it doesn’t. Everything suggests otherwise, but...
No, no, we get something infinitely sweeter instead and whatever reservations I might have about this series, I can’t deny that the last section of this book made me smile like an idiot and you can’t ask for much more than that. A good enough moment can always make a book for me and that’s definitely what happens here.
This is, ultimately, a story about acceptance and being human, even if you aren’t actually human. And two people who aren’t very similar, but like one another anyway. Also monsters, for some spice. And I like Makie, despite my general reservations about spunk.
If I have any complaints, it would be how much they love seeing Makie’s head engorged by Sachi’s chest. We get it, we get it. Diminishing returns on that visual, despite somebody clearly disagreeing with me.
3.5 stars, and yes, I am going to give it 4 because that moment on the beach was super charming and worth rewarding. I don’t know where we’re going from here but I sure am curious what’ll happen on the way.

Me in my last review: If the weird sexualization gets worse, I'm dropping.
The weird sexualization: *gets worse*
It definitely got weirder in this one, and also I kind of stopped enjoying this once I realized something. I mentioned also in my last review that I liked how much this reminded me of Monogatari... I meant that in a very general mood sense, but... now with that in mind, I'm realizing that this is actually a little too much like a cheap knockoff of Monogatari. With Makie being Araragi (earnest protagonist who just wants to help traumatized love interest and the people around him, who got pulled into a world he doesn't fully understand), Sachi being Senjougahara (not a tsundere but she can be a bit dangerous to be around, and leaves Makie a lot wondering what she's thinking), Izumi's storyline in this is basically one to one with the Mayoi Mai-Mai plot from Bakemonogatari, and Miss Manager and Miss Maid are literally Yozuru Kagenui and Yotsugi Ononoki to a T (with Miss Manager also being a Meme Oshino sort of figure too)... There's even a plotline with Izumi and Sachi like about how like, just because someone is a "fake", doesn't mean their effort to become the real thing isn't real (and also in a way, there is no one 'real thing', no one 'real human')... if that makes sense, which is exactly the central theme of Nisemonogatari.
Not that I'm saying that these two aren't allowed to share tropes and themes, but I'm just saying for me, very personally, this started feeling like a cheap imitation, which dampened my enjoyment, and made me want to go read Monogatari instead. That's just me, though, and I'm definitely not trying to say that it's the objective truth that this is like Monogatari -- I'm just saying that my brain started to draw parallels in a way that made me lose interest, and that's on me.
I will say though, the sexualization part is what pushed me over the edge because there's a really nasty scene in this where she licks him and it was just... eugh. I'm good.

This is such a fun series!
Wow, Sachi in a bikini... WOWZER!!! Yep, she's one gorgeous gal. Makie, you lucky little bugger. If you can help her get her... instincts... under control, she'd be ideal wife material! I mean, yeah she's a Watari, but when she's in human form, she's smoking hot! Annnnnnd... Sachi absolutely ADORES you, Makie! Hopefully you two can keep helping Miss Manager (I still think she looks like the Succubus from "Interviews With Monster Girls")... as for Miss Maid, I'm still trying to figure out what exactly she (?) Is... and now, there's Izumi-Chan! The cast grows!!! (And Izumi looks like a younger version of ______? Can't remember who from where).

'Sachi's Monstrous Appetite' vol 2 introduces a new monstrous girl, also looking for a human connection - not as a girlfriend, just as a way to exist - and it's sweet and good about trying to protect everyone. Also, Sachi and Makie have a first kiss, and that's also sweet and good, and he manages to not get eaten by her again. :)

These books are literally such a quick read, and there is only four of them. I feel so proud of being able to accomplish reading these in such a short amount of time. I don’t think it took me more than an hour to read one and I love the relationship between the two main characters

This was a fantastic second volume! Makie and Sachi are such an adorable couple and while the age gap is a bit worrisome I feel like it's handled well. Miss Maid is hilarious and I love that there's differently phrases or words written on her headband to convey what she's thinking. It's a small detail, but it makes it more fun reading through each panel she's in just to see what her headband says.
The artwork was fantastic and I love the emotions conveyed. The paneling is used effectively and combined with the phenomenal artwork this volume was a feast for the eyes (pun intended). The Izumi-chan situation was interesting was a great way to bring up the idea of whether it's wise to allow watari to try blending in with humans. Makie's lecture to Sachi regarding this was really sweet and didn't feel forced or corny and I agreed with his final decision regarding Izumi-chan. And finally, the beach trip was great and it made me smile so damn hard.
I really love this series and am having a blast reading it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cute supernatural romance.

Ugh!! Amazing!!!! Continues to be a perfect blend of adorable, sweet young love mixed with some truly chilling scenes of the watari. The monster transformations especially make for some frightening panels, but there's also a lot of cute romance and heartwarming friendship to balance it out. I'm itching to know more about Makie's backstory especially (seems like there's some tragedy in his past), but also Sachi and the rest of this yokai filled world.
