Monster Girl Encyclopedia Vol. 1 Hardcover – Illustrated, 13 Oct. 2016

I have to be honest, I’ve never played monster girl quest and did not realise how adult this book would be going in. I scanned the description on amazon and only noticed the part that said it was a must buy for Monster Musume fans. Can’t say I was disappointed in the slightest. The book starts with an in character introduction from the wandering scholar, then you get a list of contents and after that is an amazingly comprehensive list of monsters and surrounding lore. There are pages of pure text scattered throughout to explain in detail anything that was mentioned in the various monster’s descriptions and information such as explaining manner, essence, why they are all girls and so much more. The meat of the book is of course the monsters themselves. On the left hand page you get a beautiful piece of art of what that monster may look like with a few little stats about their personality, habitat, diet and what species/type of monster they are. On the right hand page is a very in depth explanation of what they are, how they function in monster and human society, how they can change and how they mate. Depending on the monster you may also get some advice sprinkled in on how to beat/deal with or escape from said monster. More often than not you’ll also get a smaller manga type drawing of the monster. This can show you how they might look at a different age or after changing form but is usually a picture of part of their mating process. Some being more graphic than others. I read this curious and excited to see what the next monster would be as there are so many different kinds and most I wouldn’t have been able to think of. It’s a great read, whether you want it for the appealing monsters or just the genuinely interesting information. It’s roughly 232 pages long and packed full. I highly recommend it, just don’t let anyone see you reading it.

Like many other reviewers, I had no idea what I was getting into with this - it was more of a curious buy. What I got was lewder, more detailed and interesting then I thought it would be - so all around excellent!This is an encyclopedia (duh) of hundreds of different 'monster girls' that the author has encountered. It includes a lovely full colour picture of the vast majority of these, and usually a supporting thumbnail of them 'in action' black and white.Apart from the pictures, each monster has an almost full page description of their characteristics, 'feeding' patterns, power levels and far more. Its all written 'in character' and wonderfully detailed. I admire the writer who manages to keep each monster fresh and different! I fully intend to get the second book at a later stage.For the price, this is a lovely hardback, with great pictures and great descriptions that will fire the imagination and amuse the senses. Also a great joke present 'probably' for your partner or anime hating friend, who thinks anime is all about T&A. Highly recommended present to request from parents, that would be hilarious. Either way, a winner.

This is a colored hardback book full of arousingly detailed monster girls with descriptions of each race and where to find them. Definitely a good, interesting read.

looks nice on my shelf c:

So, first off this book was way nicer presented than I though it would be, proper heavyweight hardback. Essentially a collection of nicely drawn pictures of said monster girls of all shapes and sizes, with some surprisingly detailed descriptions to go with, mostly of mating habits. There's some lewd sketches too, though some are so lewd I slightly wonder why none of the main artworks don't have nudity lol.The rather detailed story and world building bits about monsters becoming nymphomaniac girls is ridiculous, but fun (although you just have to assume bows and other long range weapons aren't a thing).

A great read, really interesting characters

Can used for an over 18s d&d (and over roleplaying) seasons with s bit of moding

10/10, brilliant buy, if you're into fantasy and have a bit of a naughty side ;) then is is for you, it's a great read and each monster comes with its own in depth description. I highly recommend it, I've also pre-ordered the 2nd vol too.
