The King's Beast, Vol. 1 by Rei Tōma
5.0
The King's Beast, Vol. 1 by Rei Toma is a beautiful manga that tells the story of Rangetsu who disguises herself as a boy to seek revenge on her brothers killer by becoming a beast servent to prince Tenyou.
One of my favorite parts of this novel was the amount of world building that the author did. I felt like the Ajin class was fully explained and also we learned about how much they are discriminated against in daily life. The setting of this manga was so beautiful and it added another level to the story telling to make it more immersive.
I instantly fell in love with both Rangetsu and Prince Tenyou. I think they were both well developed and had interesting personalities. I liked the mystery aspect of this story and also how the characters are working together to solve the murder of Songetsu.
As the first volume in the series I think that it did well to get readers interested in the mystery and to want to continue on. I will definitely be picking up the next installments of this series.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing an arc.
