Monster Musume, Vol. 2 Paperback – January 7, 2014

The chaos continues for our resident everyman! Picking up where the previous Volume left off, things get more complicated for Kimihito when Ms. Smith- Interspecies Case Worker, government operative, and all around lazy work-dodger- makes him a test case for a new amendment to the Interspecies Cultural Exchange Accord: allowing marriage between humans and Liminals (the monster races). With three monster girls already vying for his heart, and now the threat of deportation for "naughtiness" off the table, Kimihito's problems just keep stacking up, one after the other. Can he keep his head (and his pants on) while the girls contest for his affections? Or will their superhuman instincts overtake them, and end with Kimihito as a bloody smear on the pavement?Seven Seas Entertainment continues to impress with the latest release of Monster Musume, as does the title's author, Okayado. The former does a spectacular job in adapting the translation to suit a Western audience, while keeping the spirit of the original work. Various animal puns befitting the Liminal in question, certain nuiances that are better understood by English-speaking readers that still keep to the original script, and translating the additional material- located in the back of each volume- to help expand on Okayado's world, all help give the english release real strength with it's Western fanbase.As before with Vol. 1, Okayado's world-building continues to impress. Laws and rules that sound reasonable and fairly accurate to what would have to be implemented were monster races suddenly integrated with "normal" society; cultural differences and issues of discrimination that would most certainly arise in response to the aforementioned intergration; the strengths and weaknesses of each Liminal species transcribed in a way that seems plausible given their unique nature; and the looks at each character's personality, and expansion on those elements are all handled extremely well, especially for a story in a genre normall written off as purely "ecchi."I would definitely recommend this to an adult to young adult audience who can handle the more mature moments in the series, as they are present throughout. However, for people who look at the covers and judge simply by the sexy monster girls in skimpy outfits and poses, DON'T. Each of the girls in here are more than just fanservice, they have their own desires, personalities, struggles, and quirks that make them truly unique. Before you make a decision, really read the story and look past the fanservice. You'll find a story about love, acceptance, tolerance, and a quirky, disfunctional "family" that's there for one another, even if they tend to fight a lot.Overall Rating: 5/5

In a parallel reality, cute, sexy monster girls exist. Thanks to a treat passed between the Japanese and the Luminals (monsters), young Kurusu Kimihito has three sexy monster girls living with them. They are all horny, and they are all eager to marry him.But which monster girl should he choose? And how will he survive the three girls—a sexy lamia, a cute harpy, and a busty centaur—and their wanton passions? Their lusts are inflamed by the prospect of wedding, and his fragile, human body might not be up to the challenge.And that's just the start of this manga's fun as a naughty slime joins the fun, complete with inappropriate tentacles!This lighthearted, and very naughty manga continues to be a fun read. The monster girls are cute and endearing, and there as so many creative, and naughty ideas bursting in them. The addition of Suu makes the story quite hot. There are even times when the story can be touching and endearing (that certain Lamia scene comes to mind).All in all, I'm enjoying this manga more than I thought. If you're a fan of harem manga and sexy monster girls, then you need to check out this story! Everyday living with monster girls has never been hotter!

Poor Kimihito, just when he was starting to get used to having three lovely monster girls under his roof, their handler throws a new wrinkle and suggests that he marries one of the three, be it magnificient Miia, precocous Papi, or curvacous Centora. But the news does not come at a good time, as the full moon in hanging high and all three girls are feeling their "animal" instincts. Now he has to deal with making a big decision, deal with Miia's reptilian nature when she needs him to help her, and learn more about the monster world and the creatures in it - or he might not even MAKE it to the altar.this story picks up right where the last one ended and does not let up. With each story comes new developments, new characters (especially the lovable Suu), and more problems for our poor host hero. And unlike other series, he knows all three of the girls care for him and love him in their own ways and he does come up with a solution to the problem showing that he has a brain as well a good heart. A series like this should get an anime series going and if so I will have to buy it when it comes over to the states. I can not wait for the next book to see what happens next.

As a continuation to the first volume, Kimihito hosts the 3 monster girls, Miia the Lamia (half-snake), Papi the Harpy (half-bird), and Cerea the Centaur (half-horse) in a cultural exchange program. The problems of hosting these three sexy monster girls continuously flirting with Kimihito just as in the first volume, however, now his coordinator, Ms. Smith, wants Kimihito to marry one of these three girls. To calm their anxiousness, he agrees to date them all to decide who is fit for marrage material. While the girls are proving their worth as wives to Kimihito, a strange slime girl comes into their lives and causes some very unusual problems, but Kimihito allows this girl to live with him and the girls. While their are trying to work around the problems of having the slime girl (later named Suu by Papi), Kimihito has a interesting encounter with a girl in a wheelchair named Mero, who is later discovered as another exchange student who Kimihito has to host. The problems and situations for Kimihito increase along with the monster girls living under his roof. Just as the previous volume, the artwork is amazing, the story is hilarious and I personally can't wait until the next volume is released. I highly recommend this manga series to anyone looking for a incredibly comical and a great harem manga to read.
