TW: Attempted sexual assault and prostitution
Thank you Edelweiss and Viz Media for the eARC! So this was much more of a darker manga than I expected. It also gave me a tiiiiiny bit of a Mulan vibe with Rangetsu disguising herself as a boy. There also isn’t too much of a romance aspect as there is revenge, so I’m assuming it’s going to be one hell of a slow burning romance. The plot about Rangetsu and her brother is so emotional and sad and I was definitely rooting for her to find out what happened to her brother. One thing I wondered though, and maybe it’s just the art style, but the story says Ajin boys are the ones taken to serve as the Imperial Palace’s beast servants but Youbi, a prince’s beast, looks really feminine. Other than that this is a very interesting story and I really want to know what happens next.
