Gleipnir

グレイプニル

What truly defines a monster? Is it a vampire who craves blood, or a creature stitched together by Frankenstein? Shuichi Kagaya carries a hidden truth. Despite excelling in both academics and sports, he is far from normal. In reality, Shuichi is not entirely human. One day, he awoke transformed into a monster, granted incredible strength, an unusually keen sense of smell, large fluffy paws, and the crushing despair and self-loathing that accompany the loss of his humanity. His life changed drastically. The girl he chose to rescue, Claire Aoki, now knows his secret. Claire is a cruel and twisted individual, lacking empathy for others. Before meeting Shuichi, she was hunting monsters, seeking her own monstrous sibling. Even as a monster, Shuichi clings to his human morality—but how much longer can this painful existence endure?
