For clarification, on their forum MGR explained the reasons for the various terminology changes in the translations. Namely their Japanese contacts viewed the "demon" translation for various terms as misleading as they weren't meant to be connected only to demon types like succubi. "Spirit" energy was also deemed misleading as they didn't want there to be the impression that monsters were eating people's actual spirits. To them "mana" was a better term for what the Japanese words meant in this context.

Also they were told that for Japanese fans the term "mamono" has become associated with Kenkou Cross's brand of monster girls, and that it would be good to use it in more of the official terminology, hence why "mamono" is now used for a lot of terms instead of "monster."
