are you a sucker for monsters/demons/non-human creatures parenting and cute kids? did watching Pan's Labyrinth also permanently impact you taste in fiction?

congrats, you're in the right place

I'll add content warnings where I can, and if I miss any major ones please feel free to let me know! Some of these series are soft and fluffy, some get into darker subject matter. I'll try to keep things pretty spoiler free though!

Manga I've read that have managed to reach the milestone of 100 chapters or more, but not 200 or more.

manga all about the trials of raising a kid when demons are involved!

the demonic figure can be the parent or the child or both, but someone in this equation MUST be carrying some demonic blood for the title to qualify. there must be several thematic references to parenting (demonic baby jokes optional) and non-demon monsters, like vampires or kaiju, will not be included unless they fulfil the criteria in other ways; the 'demons' that i'm looking for here are creatures with horns, maybe a tail or wings, some reference towards magical abilities, a penchant for evil/mischief, and sharp teeth. adopted children are of course included, as well as 'temporary' children, whose parental figure is babysitting them long-term. reincarnated demons may be considered, provided they retain traits, memories, or demonic mannerisms.
