Bakemono to Kedamono - the monster and the beast

This will be hardly a proper review, since this manga is still going in Japan, but I just wanted to show you this little treasure I recently found.

BAKEMONO TO KEDAMONO

PLOT (spoiler free)

In a generic fantasy setting, a demon lives in a deep forest, avoided by both humans and other demons because of his scary appearence. One day, he saves a man travelling his forest from a group of thugs who were supposedly tryng to rape him.
Things take an unexpected turn when we learn that maybe the demon is not as evil as he looks - and the man is not as innocent as he seems.


BAKEMONO TO KEDAMONO IN A NUTSHELL

A fantasy shonen ai with a touch of The Ancient Magus Bride


WHAT AKIYAMI CHAN THINKS

Maybe it's too soon to judge, but for what I read so far this manga has the potential to become a great story. I just LOVE both the main characters and their odd way to care for each other.
Embarassed demon is the cutest thing ever!! (๑♡⌓♡๑)
The thing lacking for now is an actual plot: they're just sort of travelling in the woods for now. I hope it will not end up - like many yaoi manga - just focusing on the romantic side and forgetting story and setting. It will be a real shame.
