Mamonomusume Tags

Posted under General

Currently there's two tags for the same character: jewel_(mamonomusume) and lamia_hygieia. I'm not familiar with the VN, so which one is the proper tag to alias to?

Regarding the title tag, mamonomusume_to_no_seikatsu_~ramia_no_baai~, the subtitle -- the part surrounded by tildes -- is unnecessary, since it's there to signify the monster girl in question. (Other than the lamia, there's also another entry in the series starring a plant monster girl called alraune.) It should be shorted to mamonomusume_to_no_seikatsu or mamono_musume_to_no_seikatsu; if it means anything, I've seen the title spelled out as the latter more frequently.

The character tags should be edited from lamia hygieia to jewel_(mamonomusume).

As for the title, it should be mamonomusume to no seikatsu, with the ~lamia no baai~ variant implicating it. The Alraune part should have its own variant also implicating the main.

I'm for sticking with the "mamonomusume" romanization over "mamono musume", as it's the more established way of doing so. Just off the top of my head, 猫娘 is nearly always romanized as "nekomusume", very seldom as "neko-musume" or "neko musume". I see no reason to alter the practice for 魔物娘.

Done.

Guess so. What is the alraune title, exactly? Just mamonomusume_to_no_seikatsu_~alraune_no_baai~?

I'm also thiking "ramia" should be "lamia" in the game title, since we use the standard spelings of non-Japanese, non-fictional words (e.g. test in baka_to_test_[etc] rather than tesuto)

Implicating the subtitle to the main tag is redundant. The only difference in each entry is the monster girl, so if you wanted the lamia version, just look up the character or mamonomusume_to_no_seikatsu lamia (same with alraune, in theory).

I considered that, but I'm not very familiar with what these are. If it's a whole separate game/vn then it wouldn't be unusual to have tags for each iteration. It's just coincidence that it's redundant, really. Not that I don't like using the core tag alone better, mind you.

But given what sgc said about them being spinoffs, the subtitles seem appropriate.

Okayado's comics aren't titled "Mamonomusume to no Seikatsu", though, unless he's renamed them since they were posted here. The actual comics are all titled (species)のいる日常; they don't have an overall title that I can find.

post #232868 has a comment pointing to http://d.hatena.ne.jp/dangerous1192/20080323/p2, which refers to it as the モンスター娘のいる日常 series, consistent with the titles on the posted comics. (Odd that it specifically uses "monster musume", but then, it could just be a fan-given title there too.) It's certainly "no iru ichijou" rather than "to no seikatsu".

(I don't have a Pixiv account, so I can't easily check Okayado's page there to see if anything's changed. It seems unlikely, though.)

Ah I missed the "essentially" in sgc's "They do have essentially the same name, after all."

What's the preference on monster_musume_* vs monmusume_*? I'm guessing the former would be more formal and thus the better tag to use for the Okayado comics.

I'd say monster_musume is the better choice, yeah. It might not precisely correspond to the Pixiv tag (thanks for checking that, jjj), but the "mon" in that is just an abbreviation of "monster", and the full-length tag will be less confusing for most Danbooru purposes.

Making a pool would work for the actual "Life with..." comics, but I'm not sure about the extra artwork. Most of it is clearly set in the same universe (so the copyright tag would apply if there was one), but the usual practice with pools for a series seems to be that it has just the comics that are actually part of that series - no gift art, extra pics by the original artist, and so on.

I still think they're a spin-off on the concept, but the name difference is too much to connect them without further evidence.

I'd agree that the ~Lamia no Baai~ 4koma (are they also by bubuzuke? They're not tagged that way, and it doesn't look like his name in the corner...) were very likely inspired by okayado's comics, but I wouldn't say they're close enough to call them a spin-off.

There seems to be a common ancestor to a lot of this stuff; Kenko Kurosu's Monster Girl Profile works are the oldest I know of, but I doubt the other artists are drawing straight from that version of the world either - there are a lot of similarities, but also more than a few differences. My guess would be that it all grew out of discussions on 2ch or some other Japanese BBS, and there probably isn't any one artist or work we can point to and say "that's the original, there".

I think the name (蚊野人) reads Kano Jin, but not at all certain. For all I know, it could be one of bubuzuke's pennames.
