I’m finding this series to be like what might have emerged if CLAMP and Yuu Watase had teamed up on a series. Night of the Beasts reminds me of both Tokyo Babylon and Ceres: Celestial Legend...but I enjoy those stories more than this one. Hopefully the latter half of the series will be more intriguing.

Series Review: Night of the Beasts was a short but very entertaining. The plot was unique and the characters had a surprising depth for the limited amount of time for character development. The ending was really heartwarming and perfect for the series. I recommend this to those who like the supernatural.

i'm really enjoying the shonen warping of this story. an early indicator was the art style, and now we get the heroine learning the moral lessons of the shonen hero, albeit with shojo drivers. nice.

Great artwork and a story to match.

[Kereesa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is a bit roundabout, but otherwise fairly good. Especially if you're a fan of Shiomi's work.

4/5

Impressively deep characters for such a short series. :D
