The King's Beast, Vol. 1 by Rei Tōma
3.0
CW: Slavery, Abuse, Threat of Rape
I'm not so sure what to put here. As many of you know, I've been struggling to read my standard genres, so I've been branching out. When I saw this manga up on NetGalley, the artwork intrigued me. I decided to give this manga a shot.
The concept of the manga was fascinating, and the world was captivating and brutal. I found that the world was a bit excessive in brutality without giving us any real reason (besides us vs. them). I would have liked to know more about the world itself.
The characters were well done though I would have liked to get to know the motivations of Tenyou more. I felt that his character was a bit too cliche and would have liked to know his backstory.
All in all, the artwork is beautiful, and the story was engaging.
