It’s one thing after another for the Demis and their teacher, Takahashi-sensei! From finding out how vampires really feel about garlic, to what it means to be a Snow Woman, to how high school girls refer to each other…our intrepid sensei will get to the bottom of it all. And what’s this about a mysterious new transfer student…?
Okay so this was a cute fun little story just like the previous volume...that being said there were quite a few cringe moments and there was just a bit too much emphasis on some aspects of the story that I completely forgot happened about and they kinda gave me the ick. Will still continue on with the series tho, but I was just surprised by it and the moments took me out of the story for a sec (I will add it might just be bad translation & bad word choice on the part of the translator? )
This volume contains its first two-parter, and its centered around Yuki, the withdrawn snow woman monster girl. it also continues the trend of being a funny, well-drawn, and relaxing manga.
Interviews with Monster Girls, Vol. 2 (My Kindle Review)
Takahashi learns more about his demi students which include Kusakabe’s harsh past of trying to adapt to warmer climate and Machi’s growing crush on him. An unexpected surprise happens near the end in the form of two detectives. A- (91%/Excellent)
Light hearted, funny, and highly enjoyable, this was a good read and one I will likely read again.
Having seen the anime, I kind had spoiled it for myself, but even still, I found reading the manga to be as pleasurable, if not more so, than watching the anime. There is a certain level of intimacy that Petos adds with their drawing and writing where the anime feels more polished. More is added by the voice actors and the way the characters are animated, where in this manga, a certain amount is left up to the imagination, and imagination will always trump flat out showing someone something.
The characters continue to go about their shenanigans, and they only get more interesting as the story continues. We get to peer a bit further into what motivates them as 'Demis', and just how their lives are affected by their physical traits and how their personalities either compliment or conflict with those them.
Overall, I really enjoyed this manga, despite knowing what was coming. It's a light read and one I can enjoy when I don't want anything shoving something down my throat. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something simple and enjoyable to read. The art is solid, the characters are fun, and all in all, it's just a sheer joy to read.
Ehhhhhh, this continues to toe the line of a harem manga. While it could be worse (it's clear that Takahashi has no sexual interest in the three underage girls at all), it still makes me uncomfortable, and I'm finding it distracts me from what's going on otherwise.
Watching the girls come into themselves more fully is adorable, though! In particular, I find it really great that there are hints that Hikari may be bi or a lesbian, and I really like how much thought has gone into how Machi handles her head/body split in her day to day life. This is a really cute series; since it's slice-of-life, the focus is on the characters, and they're all wonderful, so most of the scenes are delightful.
I absolutely love the female friendships developing here - the demi girls are beginning to bond more, which is so sweet and sometimes too funny (hikari's nibbling tendencies made me crack up). we're also learning a lot more about each demi's characteristics, likes, dislikes, personalities, etc., which is super interesting! the main chapters here have a scene of Tetsuo helping Yuki learn more about her powers, which was very heartwarming. the ending introduces 2 new characters who are detectives...I'm intrigued, and wondering where this will go next.
the bonus chapter included here was something published in a magazine...it leans heavily into the harem aspect of this series, and has an uncomfy scene that I am just going to pretend does not exist. while gathering research on vampires, Tetsuo asks Hikari questions about blood sucking and how it compares to things like kisses or s&x, and she then kisses him on the cheek unexpectedly. it's not a terrible scene, and Tetsuo continues to not show any attraction or anything for the girls (in fact, he's rather clinical...even oblivious...in his interrogation), but it's uncomfy nonetheless. all in favor to cut this unnecessary scene out of the back of the book, say aye.....

So light-hearted & wholesome, it handles the fact that the girls are "different" with kindness & respect. Very good way to help girls in RL who may be differently-abled understand how to make friends, garner respect from classmates, & connect positively with teachers & other adult role-models. Art, I'm really digging it. Fits really well with the subject matter. Dialogue, very good, very matter-of-fact. Characters, adorable, likeable, & in some ways, even relatable. I suggest all kids who feel like "loners" or "different" or "an outsider" read this series. Differences CAN and SHOULD be overcome, with a mutual respect & admiration between everyone.
Decided it was high time to continue this series and thankfully ComicsPlus has it on their catalogue. This was such a fun volume in which all the girls get their spotlight and we learn more about them. From Yuki and why there was ice in her bathtub and all about yuki-onna to Hikari our vampire and her nibbles to Machi who is all confused about her feelings and I had a laugh that her head sleeps in a dog house next to her bed to both the teachers. I really like Takahashi-sensei and how he tries to figure out the demis and also try to help him. Though at times I think how close he is with the girls is a bit much.
This one gives a little more time to the other demis which is good because I'm less familiar with what being a 'snow woman' entails. I've never heard this Japanese folk tale before or even seen it represented in other anime/manga so that was particularly interesting. I think I'll just have to get over the fact that there's sexual undertones between the teacher and students. That's just fan service for the intended audoence: 'Young adults'
A really cute slice of life manga featuring the school life of monster girls. The story this far is great, and the art is okay too. The second Volume is just as good as the first, although I am interesting to see what the outcome of this series will be.
I really do like this series, but there’s this slight uncomfortable undertone where it feels like we’re supposed to root for one of these girls to end up with their sensei - and it’s a bit off-putting.
I love the friendship between the girls🥰 so wholesome. I am really enjoying the series so far. Of course I want a romance to build between the two adults, but we will see where this goes. Hopefully nowhere too creepy! Excited to keep reading 😊💕
Продовження повсякдневки першого тому, де все пролетіло ще швидше. Водночас дали "задатки" на ще більше взаємовідносин персонажів, хоча при цьому до них виникли "питання". В очікуванні 3 тому😊
Нічого особливо не змінилося. Так само спокійна романтична манга про школярок-напівміфічних істот. Про дружбу, навчання, закоханність і тому подібне у контексті надприродних можливостей, які мають оці школярки. Гумор простенький. З’явився якийсь контекст про дискримінацію демі-істот, але він більше схожий на щось локальне, а не на референс до реального світу.
While the series is fantastical in nature, it’s quite clever in the way it tells true to life stories.
The first crush of a teenager with her teacher, who is unaware and evidently doesn’t reciprocate said love. And the struggles of the quiet kids, who take some encouragement to get out of their comfort zones.
