Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts Pt. 1 (with Mackenzie of Mac Loves Manga)
Manage episode 372344023 series 1730962
This episode discusses volumes 1–7 of Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts by Yu Tomofuji.
Sariphi goes from ritual sacrifice to acting queen consort in the span of only a few volumes. The real problem? She's a human living among beastkind, hiding the secret of the part-human beast king while trying to win over the hearts and minds of people who look nothing like her. Tomofuji's series pushes boundaries, and Mackenzie from Mac Loves Manga is here to fully break them down. Mackenzie joins Shojo and Tell host Ashley to discuss the political intrigue of this series, how refreshing Sari is as a heroine, how endearing the tsundere boys Anubis and Lanteveldt are, and, as is only natural, make inevitable comparisons to Beastars and Zootopia.
