Solitary Cavo is a hideous monster with a pure heart. Liam, on the other hand, might look like a gentleman, but he's a beast on the inside, warped personality and all. When Liam ends up in an unfortunate situation in the haunted woods Cavo calls home, it's the monster to the rescue! After the close call, Liam extends a more-than-friendly hand to Cavo and leads the innocent monster out of the woods...and astray?!

I'm super happy about this manga!! 1st things 1st, this isn't your typical yaoi or BL that centers on the boys and has absolutely no plot- oh no, This has an amazing balance of focusing on introducing the main couple while giving them interesting personalities and a dynamic relationship that I really enjoy as well as introducing a plot that I'm really intrested in.. if your interested in some explicit content you wont find it here although it does get steamy once or twice! As for the quality the book, it's about the same quality as you would get from a manga from the bookstore, the pages are nice and thick, it has very minimal bending from me reading through it once. The colored pages and the higher quality glossy illustration given to us on the 1st page is amazing and most of all it's over a 150 pages long which is important to me because I would rather buy a comic that has more than a handful of chapters so I dont waste alot of money for so little xDDefinitely would look cute on a mamga shelf and a must buy! I hope this series lasts a long while!! This is definitely a set up edition of the series which makes sense because it's the 1st edition and I'm super happy that I bought the 2nd comic to go with it in the same order because I absolutely devoured both of these books in one sitting- i wouldnt have lasted only getting the first one!!

    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2023

    Monster and the Beast introduces the characters meeting unexpectedly, deep in the forest, in the middle of getting assaulted. Cavo saves Liam and soon, they move forwards together.

    The reader is treated to different sides of both characters in Cavo’s point of view. Cavo is like the tropey scary-looking monster but is an absolute marshmallow softy while Liam is the stunning yet sly human who is positively *beastly* about his wants and desires.

    It’s funny and enjoyable, makes you feel sympathetic to Cavo being entranced by Liam. I’m looking forward to the continuation and hopefully they’ll grow together. Art is superb.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I devoured the first volume and I'm trying to pace myself and not immediately devour the next two. Tomorrow, at least. 5 stars for Cavo, -1 star for Liam.

    Right away I really love Cavo. What a sweetie. I love his hair, love his curiosity, and would love to give him a big cuddly hug because he could really use one. I've love to be his friend and show him the world and travel with him and hang out in the forest or wherever and just provide unconditional love that doesn't see him as a terrible monster.

    I'm not sure about Liam yet. Jury's still out since by the end of this volume, it's still a mystery on what exactly is Liam's deal. Why are people after him? What did he do? Why is he a beast? Why is everyone charmed by him? Does he murder people ? Steal their memories? Working with some kind of forbidden magic? Or is he just sexually ravenous? I also of course don't care for the way he treats Cavo at times but I can't tell if it's because he's genuinely a cold-hearted self-serving twat or he's aromantic or what.

    I'm a little anxious to read volume 2 with that in mind. I've only known Cavo for one volume but if anything happens to him, I'm tearing Liam apart and cursing the author/artist.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great new boys love series!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    It's hard to find a boys love series that doesn't follow the same old tropes! This is a rare one with an original story.

    Cavo is a hideous but innocent and kind Monster. Liam may look like a gentleman but he is a jaded, cynical, selfish beast. Cavo saves Liam and the innocent Monster agrees to show the Beast a shortcut out of the forest. Lonely, innocent Cavo is reluctant to part from Liam at the end of their journey and accompanies him to town.

    Will Cavo remain innocent? Who is following Liam and why? These questions remain, and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I really love Cavo and Liam is starting to grow on me by the end of the book. The writing is lively, the art is gorgeous and the mystery is intriguing!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic art, but the story needs work
    Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Prefacing this by stating that this is the manga writers first manga, I'm stating this as a constructive critique. The art in this book is fantastic, I have no complaints about the art at all the mangaka is a fantastic artist, their bodies look good and well dressed, they handle anatomy and clothing very well.
    The problem starts at the plot which is a simple enough concept. The problem is that it feels like I'm missing chapters between the pages, the pacing is something the artist should work on in future works because within a few pages we go from a demon coming out of the trees to a love story and it gave me a case of whiplash.
    Also the main characters....abilities aren't made clear as to what they are because I can't tell if he has some kind of magic or whats going on. It doesn't really explain or mention how he's doing the stuff he does and it's obvious he's using magic or something. (I want to add that magic that allows you to brainwash people to sleep with you is kinda not ok at all and it's really r***y)
    As excited as I was for a monsterXhuman romance, this just isn't it at all and I'm highly unlikely to pick up the next.

    Não fazia ideia de que este mangá Yaoi/BL existia!

    E AMEI a leitura dele! A proposta - tanto pela subversão do "demônio que é fodão, malvado e sanguinolento" para o "demônio que, na verdade, é o oposto de tudo isso" - de o personagem humano não ser bonzinho, não ser frágil (por mais que aparente) e que é beeeem pior dos os ladrões ou larápios que tentam roubá-lo, e não ter escrúpulos para sobreviver, e tem por volta dos 42 anos de idade, me chamou a atenção instantaneamente! Ando farta de bons mocinhos que dão a outra face à tapa e vivem de sofrimento e miséria.
    A personalidade de ambos os personagens ainda estão muito no começo e mal foram pinceladas - o que garante expectativa de grandes desenvolvimentos e estou extremamente ansiosa em conferir o que mais vem por aí com os dois e como o relacionamento de ambos irá começar a se modificar ^~
    AMEI o mangá por inteiro! Realmente, um achado maravilhoso e já comprei o volume 02 - estou apenas aguardando que chegue aqui, hohoho
    Deem uma chance a este mangá Yaoi/BL da Renji, lançado pela Editora Yenn Press, não irão se arrepender o/

    Aside from the great artwork and catching plot I Love Cavo and Liam! Finally there is a pair of protagonists which are not "THAT beautiful" or "THAT young".
    This Manga... it's a bit strange, at times a bit uncomfortablel but a whole lot exiting, fresh & addictive. I already bought volume 2 & 3 and I can't wait to get my hands on the next one. Love it!
