BOZEBEATS

A 2018 manga about monks that fight demons with guns.

A child is found by wolves in a forest in Hokkaido. Six years later, a monk called Ryudaiji investigating the apparition of a specter around the area meets a young man raised by the wolves on the forest. The boy that don't even knows his own name, though he have a dogtag with a name on it, but he can't read it. Ryudaiji reads the dogtag and tells the boy his name: Madoka Tamaki.

After the specter is defeated by the monk, Madoka accepts his offer to leave the forest and search for his own origins, though he refuses the idea of becoming a monk.

Writing and Art by Ryouji Hirano.


 * Celibate Hero: The monks are supposed to be that. Hagakure has a clear interest on women though.
 * Face of a Thug: In Madoka's vision, Ryudaji has one of these.
 * Our Demons Are Different: They are human souls that stay attached to Earth for too much time and begin to eat other souls.
 * Peek-a-Bangs: Hagakure's hair covers his left eye.
 * Puppeteer Parasite: Parasyte-type demons(that resemble octopus) possess and control people so they can obtain souls to eat.
 * Raised by Wolves: Madoka is a by-the-book example of the trope. He knows how to speak japanese, but don't understand written words, at least in the beginning.
