This is what happened to Rangetsu’s twin brother Sogetsu when they were kids, and Sogetsu was killed by persons unknown not much later. Some beast people though apparently have some sort of special (magical-type) abilities, and when identified as such, they are taken to become guards and servants of the royal family. Co-existence is probably not quite the right word though since the beast folk are oppressed by their human masters there are laws like beast people can’t have more than one child, they can only hold low-level service type jobs, and they are generally looked down upon by humanity in spite of having stronger physical abilities. The world of the story is a fantasy probably vaguely medieval China setting based on the look, and the co-existence of humanity with beast-people who look essentially like humans with animal ear and tails. The King’s Beast in spite of the title seems to fit well into that category. The King’s Beast is a manga series from a publisher that tends to focus a lot on drawn out romance type stories. This one is also something I decided on for Valentine’s Day, but I’m a little late in getting the review done I saw a teaser chapter posted online and I figured why not? I did get the book a few days early and put it with the rest of the small Valentine’s stash I’d set up for myself.
