If you need something quick and sweet to put you in a good mood then this miniseries would be it. Told from the point of view of, animal lover, Yuiko – Beast Master was one of those shoujo's with a unique premise but with all the familiar clichés. But before I tell you what I enjoyed about this story I must say I never would have given it a shot if didn't already love Motomi Kyoususke's current series Dengeki Daisy but because I do I did give Beast Master a try and am sorry I did not pick it up sooner.
The story begins with our heroine Yuiko trying to coax a cat to come to her, her neighbor's cat who likes to go out and because Yuiko loves animals so much she doesn't mind. Well she may not mind but the animals do. After Yuiko gets the cat in her arms and nearly crushes it with her affection he escapes up a tree after clawing her face, this is when Yuiko sees a guy in the tree. The next day Yuiko finds out the guy is a new student in her class and his name is Leo. Leo seems very serious and scary to the other students in the school but Yuiko who recognizes him as the guy who got the cat down from the tree the other day goes up to him and thanks him and we find out Leo isn't scary at all. He's actually quite adorable and sort of like an animal himself.
I loved both characters in this story, Yuiko is funny and brave despite getting herself into typical damsel in distress situations and Leo was a cross between cute and smexy but mostly just cute. I couldn't fully believe that because he grew up in the wild all his life that he would act more animal than human because he isn't Mowgli he was actually raised by his father and guardian Toka-san but I let it slide because hey this isn't a series that should be taken seriously but even if it's not to be taken seriously Beast Master could have been great if the plot was just fleshed out a bit more.
Still the story was an interesting and fun read this mangaka knows how to keep her readers laughing and awing and her males stands out in the sea of bishounen that seem to plague this genre.
