Beast Master 1 by Kyousuke Motomi: B+

December 18, 2009 by Michelle Smith 4 Comments

From the back cover: Leo Aoi looks like a crazy animal with wild eyes—and no one at his new high school will go near him! He does seem to have a special connection with animals, though, which intrigues overzealous animal lover Yuiko Kubozuka. In reality, Leo isn't as frightening as he appears, but Yuiko finds out that he goes berserk whenever he sees blood! Will Yuiko be able … [Read more...] about Beast Master 1 by Kyousuke Motomi: B+
