The first volume of Ron Makita's dark fantasy manga, "Gevaudan to Iu Kemono" (The Beast of Gévaudan), officially hit shelves on June 15, based on the original story by Akadashi Nameko. The narrative follows a monstrous entity, formerly human, who is deemed too dangerous to ever be released from captivity. As he consumes his victims within the prison walls, he meticulously plans a brutal prison break to unleash his vengeance upon those who caged him.
Fans of gritty, mature fantasy and psychological horror can expect a visceral experience that explores the thin line between humanity and monstrosity. With its focus on a 'prison break' plot fueled by pure malice, the series is already generating buzz among readers who crave intense seinen narratives and high-stakes supernatural action. This debut volume sets the stage for a dark journey where the hunter and the hunted are one and the same.
