About the series
In this two-issue manga miniseries from Viz, a young hunter named Leo is accompanied by a mysterious and powerful panther-like beast as he explores a post-apocalyptic world filled with dangerous creatures. Written and illustrated by Kyōsuke Usuta, Beast Master blends action with a quiet, character-driven bond between the boy and his animal companion. Though brief, the series is a concise example of Usuta's work for English-language readers, offering a self-contained adventure in a desolate landscape.
