Wonderful news, everyone!
I've stumbled upon the 101st monster girl profile (cat-themed, to boot). This means that, despite the artist having released a book containing the first 100 profiles, it seems as though this does not mark the end of his project. Needless to say, I will continue to track down any new profile that comes up and bring it here. Another interesting point to note is that there is apparently a new translator interested in the profiles, one who seems to be a mite quicker than the older one. With any luck, this will mean a reduction in the old gap between profile release and translation. Time will tell, I suppose.
Quite a good day for fans of these profiles. Here's to a hundred more.
As a bonus, I've found a tentative translation for the Nekomata. That new translator is quick indeed:
"Cat Family - Beastman Type
Habitat: Zipangu region (Forests, human settlements)
Disposition: Cheerful, Whimsical
Diet: Omnivorous, Spirit of human men
A kind of Werecat living within the Zipangu region. Filled with a high level of magical power, her tail has split into two. Her magical power has allowed her to take the form of a mundane cat. In Zipangu, where monsters and humans live in peace, she usually takes her true form, but either form can be seen. She often spies on men she's taken a liking to, while disguised as a cat. She comes up close to him, and charms him using her magic. Men who are kind and generous will surely be made into targets. She follows the usual "Run when he comes close, come closer when he runs" thought process. In addition, she may approach the man on her own. If he backs away, she'll give up hope immediately, but if the two are comfortable with each other, she'll stay close to him, and rub up to him to coat him with her own smell, to keep other monsters away from her prey. Yet, she's still a monster, so her true nature can't be hidden for long while so close to a male. Eventually, she will assault her prey. In that case, the longer she waits, usually about a month, the more violent she becomes. Her desire for the man will be unleashed, as her warm body becomes joined with his, and she takes some of his spirit. It's thought that "a cat that lives for many years gains magic and becomes a nekomata". This is wrong. If a cat absorbs demonic energy, they become a nekomata. In some cases, the cat may have been a nekomata from the very start."
