Katsute Kami datta Kemonotachi e

Description

During a protracted civil war that pitted the North against the South, the outnumbered Northerners used dark magic to create monstrous super-soldiers called Incarnates. Now that the war has ended, those Sacred Beasts must learn to make their way in a peaceful society or face death at the hands of a Beast Hunter. Nancy Schaal Bancroft, the daughter of an Incarnate, turns to hunting the hunter herself. But once she catches up with her quarry, she discovers hard truths about the lives of these Sacred Beasts.

Why i like the manga

by MLGSwag

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Very well written background with alot of info available to help readers get more immersed with the world

There are some parts to it (especially the ending dozen chaptets) which felt very odd.

Some of the characters decisions felt odd at certain times and i did find myself wondering why did they do that.

Regardless, after finishing the manga, this is a really well written manga about war, life during and after war, the horrors people had face and their coping mechanisms, and whether these people should be allowed to reenter society despite killing thousands. As well as how these people are strong enough to kill their own citizens. I really found this manga enjoyable as we delved into the stories of each incarnate amd they were really humane and relatable, like if you were put into a similar situation as them, you would understand their reasonings for why they did what they did. This was a very great manga and the end, (while i honestly felt like it was lacking), would be considered to be perfect for a large portion of the audience.

I will not be forgetting this manga anytime soon, it is a very well written manga with alot of care and effort put into it

Of the series with clear Berserk influences, this is one is one of the better ones

Up to volume 3 now, and I was expecting something a lot worse. I was worried that the plot would be a simplified view of the American Civil War, but the American Civil War only serves as a loose inspiration for the setting. The plot is closer to the fantasy world of Berserk rather than the United States of the 1800s. There is Griffith-like character who serves as the villain and a Guts-esque protagonist who is betrayed in a flashback. The Griffith-like character, biblically named Cain, founds another nation. So, the plot is not super fresh, but is well executed. The characters aren't the most interesting, but Schaal is a serviceable lead. The pacing is fast, but consistent, and works for the narrative so far. Schaal's character development has proceeded steadily, without slumps.

The varied Incarnate designs are really entertaining and keep the series compulsively readable. The monster design is really important in such a series. As a previous reviewer touched upon, the Incarnate designs aren't as jaw-dropping as the designs of the most awesome Apostles in Berserk, but are pretty neat.

Going to stick with this. Schaal may not be the most engaging protagonist, but having her as the lead differentiates the series from being a Berserk clone. The plot has less of the build-up and less of the epicness in comparison to Berserk as well, but the trade off is that it's a faster, lighter read (and one that we may see the entirety of in our lifetime). I enjoy it a lot more than other Berserk-inspired series I've read, such as Claymore.

Not bad at all! I came across this title and wasn't expecting much, but who knew it could hold it's own! The plot is well developed and the artwork is amazing! Considering it has an anime adaption, I can only see it growing from here on out. Can't wait for more!

Incredible art. Close to Berserk level, though not quite. Really excellent premise and setting too.

edit1: This is seriously mindblowingly good.
