The King's Beast, Vol. 1 by Rei Tōma
4.0
Rangetsu is on a mission — to avenge her twin brother’s death.
Born as ajin, who are beasts treated as second-class citizens, Rangetsu and her twin brother Sogetsu did not have much to look forward to. But when Sogetsu discovers he dad magical inclinations, he finds himself being selected as a beast-servant for the fourth prince, Prince Tenyou. Unfortunately, what seems like a great opportunity becomes a tragedy when he is murdered. The death is attributed to the Prince and cast off as nothing more than a servant’s death. This is not acceptable to Rangetsu who decides she is going to forsake being a woman and become a beast servant — become Prince Tenyou’s beast servant — and discover what happened to her brother.
This is shaping up to be a romantic thriller with plenty of political intrigue and mystery. Definitely recommend~
