The new girls of the Tamers Committee are coming into their own as monster caretakers, yet the monsters remain ever mysterious. As Ion and her friends explore the touching personal stories behind human-monster relations, can looking to the past pave a way for the future? Find out in this final volume of Monster Tamer Girls! 

I can't believe that this is the final volume?! I'm actually quite sad as I was looking forward to seeing more of the monsters! 

This volume gives us some more heartwarming stories of monsters and humans, as we get Sora's story! Honestly though...Ookawara's story hit me right in the feels, with the monster taking care of him. So as you can see we have quite the mixed bag when it comes to this volume! 

Koto ends up taking the girls in to the monster shelter district so we get to see inside there, plus meet a couple of new monsters! It was cute to see Blue helping her out, and Nonoka hit me in the feels too!  

I feel like over the course of both volumes, characters like Koto and Tsukiko have come a long way and have changed a little in their feelings towards monsters, as well as their actions. I actually really enjoyed this world, and I'm sad we don't get to explore it more but at the same time, I guess there's only so far this story could go. 

This final volume gives us a batch of new monsters to meet, heartwarming moments, sad moments, and we get to see how things work out for the girls! I really enjoyed the way this was wrapped up, and everything was brought to an end!

Two girls start attending a new school and find themselves responsible for the care and feeding of monsters! 

I've been super intrigued by this manga, because I couldn't quite work out if we'd be dealing with dinosaurs or dragons or some combination of both, and it sounded like an interesting new series! I have to say, this first volume certainly delivers on the interesting part! The inside cover has plenty of interesting and useful information on the world of the series and how it works and what Tamers do and so on, which piqued my interest before I'd even started to read!  

Straight off the bat we meet Sora and Ion, who are thrown in to the deep end and tasked with looking after a monster that lives on the school grounds. Ion is kind of scared of the monsters but they seem to like her, she appears to be the best at taming despite being young and untrained...I kind of got "Special Snowflake" vibes from her though, so I guess we'll see what's in store for her. I'd actually quite like to get to know Sora better next volume, she's in a different programme to Ion which could be interesting! 

Tsukiko...I kinda felt for her, it was nice for her to get such a heart warming chapter but she's hilariously bad at naming the monsters, she's another character I'd like to get to see more of in the future! 

This initial volume was fun and entertaining, the monsters are drawn wonderfully as are the settings. It kind of reminds me of Godzilla coming and destroying buildings and cities...and then just inviting his buddies over and hanging out. That's what the world reminds me of anyway. This volume lets us get to know the characters and meet a couple of the monsters inhabiting the world as well as getting osme background on the monsters and how everything works! It's certainly an interesting and fun start to a series!
