An action fantasy set in a dystopian future where, to combat monster attacks, monster hunters infuse themselves with monster DNA in order to predict where they might strike next. However, in the process they lose their humanity, resulting in the development of a monster hunter extermination unit. A werewolf named Hank heads up the team; the world is about to be overrun with monster and counter-monster conflict!
"I'm continually impressed with To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts. There's a lot going on between its commentary of the realities of war and the aftermath that Hank, and the Incarnates, are causing" - Fandom Post
MAYBE is a two-man cartooning team based out of Japan. According to reports both members were born in 1984, and they broke into the world of comics by debuing with indie publisher Okura Publishing in 2005. MAYBE would continue to work in the world of indie comics for a few years, eventually making a name for themselves with Wani Magazine's Comic Kairakuten. In 2006 the pair broke through into the mainstream by getting picked up by beloved shonen publisher Akita Shoten (publishers of Black Jack). Starting in 2008 MAYBE moved into the realm of video game design creating characters and background art for video game producers RailSoft. After nearly five years of journeymen work, the duo broke through with their first hit series Dusk Maiden of Amnesia by SquareEnix. The 10-volume horror series was an instant success and would inspire an animated TV series and radio dramas of the same name. Since then MAYBE has worked with major publishers - Kodansha and SquareEnix - focusing on Japan's revitalized fantasy genre to great success. Their other current title Tales of Wedding Rings is being published in the US by CrunchyRoll.
