The King's Beast, Vol. 1 by Rei Tōma

5.0

This book was received as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Having never read any of Toma's other stuff, but hearing awesome things, I thought I'd give this one a try. You've definitely now got a fan, and I'm excited to see more of this, the political intrigue side very interesting on top of some really good characters. I've been reading a lot of different manga lately, and this one calls back to the stuff I loved back in high school, the ones that are still my absolute guilty pleasure series. It also vaguely reminds me of the dynamics in Rising of the Shield Hero, but not in a bad way. I'm curious to see where this goes, and the characters are awesome.
