Beast Master - Manga Review
This was the one of the first mangas I actually purchased. I bought the first volume on a whim while on vacation. I was immediately in love with the story and the two main characters. The story line was sweet and heart warming all at the same time. This series only has 2 volumes so it's easy on your pocket book as well.
First want to give a shout out to the writer/drawer Kyousuke Motomi. I'm a fan of not only this but another manga called Dengeki Daisy. The art of her stories is just amazing. I like her quote "If my stories can touch you, make you laugh, forget unhappy things, or even give you that 'good job' feeling, then I'll be super, super happy!" - Kyousuke Motomi. Her stories defiantly make you feel happy and just take you into the lives of the characters.
In Beast Master the main character is Yuiko Kubozuka. She is a high school that loves animals, there is only a small problem, any animal she comes in contact with gets upset, attacks her, and runs away. It is while she is chasing her pet cat that we meet the second main character Leo Aoi, who saves her cat that has run up a tree. He mysteriously runs away before she can get his name, only to appear in class the next day. His looks of a wild animal scare most of the classmates away. Turns out he was raised on the deserted plains of Africa, and doesn't know much about normal society. This and his wild looks make him a target for thugs. The only problem is Leo doesn't know when to stop, so its up to Yuiko to keep him from going overboard. In exchange Leo brings her closer to the animals Yuiko loves so much.
I would recommend this to anyone in need of a good story. I enjoyed this manga series a lot and would give it a 8 of 10 rating. Only downside, was giving the short length of the story told, every chapter had the same intro. It bugged me a lot.
Do you read manga? Any favorite writers?
Beast Master Belongs to Viz Media and Shogakukan.
