The Leopard Person and the Beast Tamer

The setting is the early Showa era, before the war, a time when sinister beasts lurk in the shadows of the imperial capital.

The circus performance was met with thunderous applause as the beautiful animal trainer, Egawa Rango, wielded his whip.

Suddenly, a beast-man with a leopard face and a cape, Hyou-san, appeared in their tent.

He was worried about Rango, who was sexually abused by the circus performers after the show ended.

He volunteers to be a bodyguard and, as a master of disguise, ends up joining the circus troupe.

Despite his appearance, the beastman was not easily frightened and was kind, and Rango's heart gradually grew drawn to him.

They begin to develop feelings for each other that go beyond those of fellow members, and eventually they end up sleeping together...
