Buster Keel!

In a world where adventurers embark on perilous quests to vanquish monsters of varying ranks, warriors are classified by their distinct combat disciplines, such as Fighters or Monster Users. Among them is Keel, a determined young adventurer driven by a singular purpose: to locate Shiva, a legendary Monster User renowned for defeating the fearsome S-ranked Dragon Ape. Keel believes that Shiva has stolen something of immense personal value from him, setting the stage for a journey defined by both pursuit and unresolved grievance against the world’s most celebrated hero. During his travels, Keel encounters Ravi, a fellow Monster User accompanied by her companion creature, Mippy. After receiving intelligence from townspeople suggesting that Ravi may possess knowledge of Shiva’s whereabouts, Keel decides to join forces with her in hopes of tracking down his elusive target. Together, they navigate a landscape filled with dangerous beasts and uncertain alliances as Keel seeks answers about what was taken from him. This volume also includes a bonus chapter that expands upon the series’ universe.
