A review by djinnia
Beasts of Abigaile, Volume 1 by Spica Aoki
3.0
This story has a lot of dark elements in it. There's a lot of Wolfe behaviors mixed with with human mentality. Well, considering the Luga, the natives human/wolf people's of the country, are being enslaved by humans, I can see why there are dark elements.
They are imprisoned to be 'educated' to be no threat to humans.
Nina finds out the hard way when she gets bitten by Roy, a habitual escapee.
She ends up becoming a prisoner on the island of Abigaile learning first hand that primal survivor instincts are a must to survive.
Roy comes back and is an absolute a-hole to her. Then tries to claim her with threats of her 'humanity' coming out.
Thankfully, she is not a weak character. She stands up for the weaker ones and holds her own with Roy once the shock of her situation is dealt with and she gets back on her feet.
I don't know how dark this series will get. It's shojo, but that doesn't mean it won't get pretty gruesome.
I enjoyed it enough that I would continue the series despite of the violence against younger character by the 'instructors '.
