There sorta is, but you have to buy info about the monsters. The hunter log shows the info after you buy them. I believe you have to be at a certain point if you want to buy all of them, including G rank monster info. They don't tell too much info, but its nice to read them. It talks about lore and tips to hunt them. I'm sure someone else can explain better.
