Introduction

It has been six hundred years since The Last Laugh, that grand cosmic event that transformed the world of strife and bloodshed we once knew into one of sex and romance. Looking back on the historical texts that survived the turmoil of the first few decades following the Laugh, I don't think many people are going to miss that old world. Not humans, that's for sure, as we have not only become the dominant species since that time, but the world has become a much safer place for us... in most regards.

I wish I could have seen it for myself, that day the Laugh shook the world. To witness the disappearance of the males from the demihuman species, and the transformation of the monster species as a whole. Of course, what followed was a tremendous amount of bloodshed, but in the end, the ways of the old world could not sustain itself within the new. It makes me wonder if Joviam is still out there somewhere within the planes, her laughter echoing on into eternity as she looks down upon us with delightful schadenfreude.

No matter. All that one really needs to know about the aftermath of the Laugh is this: Every species needed males to reproduce, but only humans were capable of being males. As such, they became dependent on us, and where they once scorned our very existence, they now rely on it for their own. Of course, most species are not polite enough to ask, but we'll come back to that.

In recent years, men have become more accepting of the existence of monsters, some even preferring their company to that of their own kind. While there is much controversy and political turmoil regarding this new way of thinking, we will put that aside for the time being. What matters is that men are seeking monsters, but few now how or where. Indeed, many a bold bachelor has found his way into misfortune in his quest for an exotic bride, often falling victim to one of the more assertive types. It has become clear that these young men will only continue to stumble ignorantly in the dark without understanding of the powerful beings they seek courtship with. That is why I have written this book: The Monster Girl Manual!

Monster Girl Manual is a compilation of knowledge acquired over six hundred years of sharing this world alongside these strange and captivating creatures. It is meant to serve as a guide for those who seek a monster girl mate of their own... as well as a precaution to the ones they may wish to avoid. Here, I will catalogue all known species and provide facts about each, as well as first-person encounters and commentaries provided by certain spouses who were willing to offer interviews.

I dearly hope the information provided here will be of use to you as you seek out these monster girls for yourself. Good luck out there! You're gonna need it.
