Daily Life with Monster Girl / Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou (CLEAN manga only)

I pity the idiot who thought that the censor bar glasses would be a useful disguise.

With Doppel, I think it's more that she was looking forward to something she could tease Kimihito about or so on. Instead, he gave her a really simple and innocent request - and also, Doppel is a shapeshifter. Those clothes won't change with her if she shifts, so for her, they must feel super restrictive, to some extent.

Well, that makes sense, I guess.

BTW, that "Liminal's Secret" mag from the omakes? It's simply labelled "Catalogue" in romaji in the raws. I guess the fan-translator took some artistic liberties with the translation. Oh, and Danbooru has a translation of those two Kenkou Cross-drawn omakes starring Miia; as funny as they were even without understanding what's being said, they're even funnier once you do understand.

Like I said, tacky, "ethnic" clothes.

Were those the ones from the spinoff?

I have no idea. I got them from an omake compilation that included everything from manga volume-exclusive omakes to the BD volume short comics and more beyond that, but neglected to specify the sources of those omakes.

I can confirm that the omakes involving the girls confronting crab-Okayado about their busts are from the anthologies.

Also, ^^^I'm not sure why you're so fixated on "'ethnic' clothing". She just doesn't like wearing clothing; I'm not sure where you're getting the tacky or 'ethnic' parts from, and even as a metaphor it fails because she's not annoyed about the clothing due to how it looks.

It's the closest thing I can think when you compared it to fellow humans. There are some "ethnic"/ "historical" clothing that either too embarrassing for different culture to wear, or too restrictive to wear comfortably.

The thing is that she's not annoyed because it's any particular type of clothing. She's annoyed that it's clothing, period. Specifically, she's annoyed that it's clothing that she didn't create with her powers. What annoys her is probably not even the restrictiveness so much as the fact that it severely limits her abilities to troll people. If she's wearing real clothing, she can't modify it with her shapeshifter powers. If he had just ordered her to look like she was wearing clothes for a day it would probably have affected her differently.

TL;DR I don't think the comparison works because the cultural elements of the clothing isn't what's bugging her, it's the practical aspect.

So Chapter 45 was pretty entertaining! I'm looking forward to the reveal of the Matango girl's design in the next chapter, and having a chance to play with some old dungeon RPG tropes was pretty fun too.

The raw for 45 is out already?

Probably not, but I bought it while I was in Japan. Woody Alien already posted a general summary of it, but here's a longer one:

Kimihito and Cerea go to the hospital to get Cerea checked out for her sting, then go back to the park where Kiira is waking up. They tend to her a bit and ask her what's up with the attacking people thing, and she explains that she's back in Japan to get revenge on Rachnera, whose threads she got stuck in and freaked out, causing the government to declare her a dangerous individual and deport her. Rachnera shows up around then and Kiira goes off on her, then warns Kimihito that there are other illegals in the area and that one of them in particular is a very dangerous one.

Kimihito and Cerea head back home, but when they open the door the place has turned into a dungeon straight out of an RPG. Cerea, of course, is psyched. Papi shows up as a fairy and tells them that there's a friend of hers deeper in the dungeon, so they should go meet her. They run into Miia, who's a captive princess, and Lala, who Kimihito remarks is exactly the same as always, before Rachnera shows up as a merchant. She gives Kimihito two face-masks and tells him to step outside, put the masks on and then come back. (Meanwhile, Cerea buys every item because you can never be sure what you'll need, including the Infinity +1 Sword and the Joke Weapon.) Suu shows up as a wall-sized slime and chases them into the water, where Mero drags Kimihito under.

After he wakes back up, Mero (who is still sane) explains that Papi and Suu found a mushroom girl loitering outside the house and brought her in, at which point she released a bunch of spores that made everyone hallucinate. Mero wasn't affected since she was underwater, and she brought Kimihito and Cerea to an underwater cave/room built underneath Kimihito's house, which was remodeled in secret by Mero's mother to be bigger than the actual house. The three discuss what should be done, and Mero suggests calling MON... but they realize that they'll just get affected by the spores too, and Zombina will start actually biting people and cause the zombie apocalypse. The chapter ends with them deciding that they need to resolve the issue before MON gets involved in any way.

Okay, that sounds pretty fun.

Now I wonder if there are any other secret renovations done by other characters.

The really funny bit is that Kiira is pissed because Rachnera exposed her in public.

Actually, after thinking about it, calling MON actually is the right thing to do. Well, 2 of them.

Manako can easily tranq everyone from distance, and Doppel should be able to change into something... immune

She's a shapeshifter, not a biology-shifter.

Tell that to Plastic Man.

Plastic Man's powers are straight up broken and he knows it.

Technically, Shapeshifting would have Required Secondarypowers of making you immune to most diseases. But, semantics

Doppel straight up said at one point that while she can change her appearance, she can't make herself stronger or anything like that, so I doubt she could give herself an immunity. Or at the very least if she had the capability to do so, I don't know that she knows enough about virology for her to actually do it.

Dopple's actually not that powerful. Which kinda puts a damper on her secretly being Nyarlathotep, because that dude can kick planets in half.

If you mean how some animals carry certain diseases, but are asymptomatic, it's probably part of shapeshifting. But I would presume that in Doppel's case(as with some others), she's only immune so long as she's in a form naturally immune to it. Which probably does not apply to the zombie virus.

I'm not speaking about Zombie virus. I speak about hallucinogenic spore.

What pass as hallucinogen for human isn't exactly causing similar effect on, say, starfish.

It's possible, but it really depends how much of the transformation is just Doppel changing her appearance vs actually changing her biology. Given that she can't even change her strength I'd say it's unlikely, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. That said, I think that in this case she wouldn't be immune, if only because a scene of Doppel tripping out on spores would be far more amusing than her being unaffected.
