I think I want to read Keyman now.

Also...I miss Mia. I haven't been able to read Monster Musume since the guro incident.

Guro incident?

The only guro in Monster Musume would be Miia's cooking.

I presume that has to do with the Monster Girls Unlimited website, where some user started posting guro images of copyrighted material, pissing off the guy that does Monster Girl Encyclopedia. I guess it killed MGU or something, although I'm not sure, since I haven't really gone there.

Anyway, the manga is licensed in the US, so you can honestly just buy it. (Volume 4 is out already, 5 in November.) However, there are still anons out there scanlating it, and you can just Google places to find it translated for download or read online.

No, it's not fanart. There is guro in the manga. Extremely gross guro in downright horrible taste.

In that case, would you mind describing what you mean, and what chapter it was in?

The only thing in poor taste in Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou I recall are the rampant boob and lactation jokes. There's occasional blood drops, some of the characters that don't really get hurt (especially Zombina and Suu) take some hits, and they once killed off some orcs that were villains for showing off Mon, but nothing that's really "guro". I can't help but think you might have gotten punk'd or something...

Pretty much any incident involving Zombina. Shot repeatedly with an uzi and walking around with her tits hanging out and bleeding from numerous bullet wounds. Her tits falling onto the floor and the MC picking them up and having the biggest nosebleed he ever had in the manga from it (even bigger than the times he handled Centorea's boobs).

I can't read the manga when there's a fucking corpse walking around providing "fanservice".

You might think "You're being too sensitive" or "It's supposed to be funny" well it isn't. It's gross as shit. It's necrophilia and it ruined the manga for me.

Well, no, it's just that I don't consider that "guro", since it's not actually involving serious harm or seeing internal organs, so I wasn't really sure what you meant at first. (The same way exposed parts on an android isn't really guro.)

If it's just Zombina you don't like, there's only a very limited number of chapters she's even been in. (In fact, the "dropped a boob" one was the last one she was in, IIRC.)

Honestly, though, I just prefer Centaur no Nayami for my monster girl fix, since it has a much more involved plot than showing as many tits as can possibly fit in a chapter with whatever flimsy rationalization the author can muster.

I love Centaur no Nayami, especially those chapters that involve the history of their world. Like when Napoleon free the Centaur slaves and put them in his army, or that chapter about Hime's Samurai ancestor who chased a bunch of slavers to Europe to save his sister. Can be a bit bloody too sometime, but...

Thats not guro. Guro is a term that covers a lot of extreme fetishes from scat to gore.

As for it being necrophilia, its not like shes an actual dead corpse or the scenes in the manga had a realistic depiction of the events. She's a monster girl that has detachable limbs.

It wasn't gross, its probably not most peoples thing, but its not guro and not an extreme example thereof.

Its fine to put your limits on content wherever you like, but lines like "guro incident" tends to attract more attention and criticism since it is a rather dramatic way to put it.

You can tell yourself anything you want. She's a patch work abomination made out of SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE. She's involved in scene of brutal violence portrayed in a sexy manner. And the protagonist finds her sexually attractive, which says nothing good about him.

It may have not been explicitly graphic. It may have been sanitized. But the fact remains that she is not alive. She is not machine, she is made out of people. She is DEAD. Moving around doesn't change that.

The manga jumped the shark at that point. You guys can choose to ignore it. You can choose to rationalize it, but that scene and that character crossed a line for me and I'm always going to regret that it happened, since I really liked the manga up until she was introduced.

Heavily biased, but as long as you're happy with your own opinion there's no real issue I suppose. What's your view on Jiangshi style then? Like Lei-Lei/Hsien-Ko and Miyako Yoshika? Just curious, not trying to start anything.

Stuffs

So a certain character spoiled a whole manga for you? I get it, that's reasonable. If you don't like what you don't like then no one can really say anything about it. To each his own after all.
The other guys might think nothing of it, but apparently it's crossed the line for you. You can either forget about that certain character that rarely appear and keep on reading the manga, or don't. Up to you! No one can say or do anything to change your mind about it!

But this topic seems to has gone on long enough, so let's stop here, shall we?

Yeah its unlikely this will be civil.

How about them centaurs

Hsien-Ko and her sister are not sexualized. They wear baggie outfits. They are portrayed as heroes and otherwise good-hearted people. The emphasis on their forms is incorporeal, magical, and mechanical. Add the fact that seem to bounce between being alive and "undead" and back again, that their primary motivation is rescuing their mother, and I don't really have a problem with them. On a side note, their friendship with noted zombie slayer Frank West is a lot of fun.

Yoshika and the one girl from Skull Girls don't bother me. They're humorous and not sexualized.

People like you who gets way too over-dramatic about little things like this is what PISSES ME OFF. Seriously, you should stop watching anime or reading manga if you are going to be this way just because something is different.

Everyone is allowed their own basic opinion, especially if it doesn't interfere or directly conflict against someone else's opinion. Steak kept the whole 'necrophobia' to their own, until people probed for further details. If they're not allowed to voice their own opinion after such poking, then people shouldn't have asked, it's common courtesy to just 'leave it at that', don't start a fight just because someone disagrees with you, considering it's not an insult, it's childish.

I know this is beating a dead horse, but... heh, funny choice of words. Well, I'll do it anyway.
You see, the reason Steak was throwing a tantrum was not because he was personally offended by what he calls "guro" and "necrophilia". You see his choice of words for it in his comments?

It's because he's a terminal perv who can only see everything involving female characters as fetish material, and because that particular thing turns him off, he was going postal.
Nevermind that monsters behaving and living like monsters is pretty much the series' whole point. If it makes his dick go flaccid, clearly it's a trainwreck and a waste of his time.
