The Beast King: Master of Medicines Vol. 1

Beast King: Master of Medicines Vol. 1 introduces Garon, a Beast King who defends monsters, and Tina, a gravely wounded adventurer he saves. In exchange for her life, Tina agrees to help treat injured monsters, kickstarting a tense, tender alliance that tests trust, courage, and empathy. Written by Tatsukazu Konda and drawn by Asahi Sakano, with a contribution from Momochichi, this first volume of The Beast King and His Apprentice blends action, humor, and genuine medical fantasy in a vivid, dangerous world. As the two unlikely partners navigate dungeon peril and moral questions about coexistence, the story sets up a broader arc about mercy, reciprocity, and the power of unlikely friendships. The art emphasizes expressive characters, dynamic creature design, and a palette that brings both danger and warmth to the quest. A strong entry for readers seeking adventurous fantasy with heart and inventive problem-solving.
