About this title

Synopsis

One day, college student Yuuhi Amamiya is approached by talking lizard Sir Noi Crezant. Crezant immediately launches into a fantastical story: the powerful mage Animus intends to destroy the Earth with his Biscuit Hammer, a huge contraption looming high in Earth's orbit. Earth's only hope lies with the princess and her Beast Knights, whose task is to protect the princess and defeat Animus. Yuuhi is chosen as the Lizard Beast Knight, and despite his misgivings, is quickly forced to defend himself from a golem created by the mage. He is saved by his neighbor, the princess Samidare Asahina, and swears loyalty to her. However, the princess does not intend to save the Earth at all. She lets Yuuhi in on her real motivations: to prevent Animus from destroying the Earth, only to then annihilate the planet by her own hand. The pair continue to fight off attacks by Animus' golems while the remaining Beast Knights are slowly being gathered and learning to use their powers. As he grows closer to Asahina, Yuuhi will have to decide for himself whether to go along with her plans or to save the Earth. In the process, he must also confront his true self and determine where his loyalties truly lie. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

    The main character of the story. A reclusive, glasses-wearing college student who initially refuses Noi Crezant's request to help save the world. The reason behind his unsocial nature is his grandfather, who raised Yuuhi and believed that having friends was useless. Eventually, he changes his mind in order to help Samidare Asahina, who he usually refers to as Princess. His ability is called domain control. He can exert a weak telekinetic force on a small bubble of air, just enough to hold himself above the ground for a few seconds or slow down an enemy's attack. Although his overall combat skills are much weaker than that of most of the other characters.

    External profile

    An enthusiastic young girl, and one of the protagonists, though she does not appear to have an animal partner. Her body is extremely strong, enough to do a hundred push-ups with Amamiya on her back or destroy a golem in one blow. She wants to save the Earth from the Biscuit Hammer, but her reason for doing so is so she can eventually destroy the world herself.
