Jun 08, 2021This volume is decidedly more violent than the other volumes as Legoshi and Gohin attack the lions. Haru’s flashback also explores a little bit about her promiscuity and the power she gets from it, specifically the protection from other beasts who are less willing to devour her, or pity her for her small stature. If readers weren't uncomfortable before with the devouring/being devoured concept running rampant through this series, this one will definitely do it. There are a lot of sexual overtones to the boss lion inspecting Haru, even though he's inspecting her in order to eat her. While there isn’t any nudity per se, there are several scenes of Haru in compromising poses during this inspection. Read Full Review
