The King's Beast by

OVERVIEW:

Prince Tenyou is not what Rangetsu expected, and the political currents in the palace run deep and strange. Does Rangetsu have any chance of finding justice for her brother, or will she become just another Ajin casualty in the game of kings? -- VIZ Media

REVIEW:

Truthfully this was one of those mangas I picked up and left in my read pile for quite some time before picking volume two up and continuing the journey. I'm not sure if it's because volume one was so emotionally devastating that I wasn't sure I wanted to go on a trip like that yet, or if it was just too much exposition; either way, I am happy I decided to continue reading this series. Volume two pairs well with the exposition heaviness of the first half and develops the conflict and internal opposition of the main character, Rangetsu. To avoid spoiling the series, there are so many tiny moments that get your breath caught that really sell the drama and trauma of the story.
