The Zipangu Region is a monster-friendly region in the Monster Girl Encyclopedia (MGE) universe that has many variations of monsters whose interactions with humans range from friendly, to aggressive, and everywhere in between.

Culture

Unlike most of the other locations in the MGE universe, the humans and mamono living in the Zipangu Region share a much more casual and friendly relationship.

Their are even instances where some mamono are worshiped as gods by humans and other mamono, such as the Ryu and Inari.

Even on occasions where the human man is pursued by a mamono that's seeking a husband, most of these intances turn out to be much less violent.  In fact, many such attacks end with the mamono becoming a devoted wife to the man.

Geography

Mountainous Areas

As with feudal-era Japan, much of the Zipangu Region has been described as untamed wilderness, with large number of mountains, which serve as homes to reclusive mamono.

  • Shinobi Villages:  Deep within the mountainous areas of the Zipangu Region are the villages known as shinobi villages.  These villages are where the Kunoichi live and train.  Also, once a kunoichi finds a man that strikes her fancy, she will bring him back with her.

Inhabitants

In addition to the humans who inhabit the Zipangu Region, the mamono residing there include:
