Synopsis
College student Yuuhi becomes a Beast Knight to stop Animus's planet-destroying Biscuit Hammer, guided by Princess Samidare.
College student Yuuhi Amamiya leads a quiet, uneventful life until his world is suddenly disrupted by the arrival of Sir Noi Crezant, a mysterious talking lizard who claims to be a knight of justice. Crezant reveals that Earth faces an unprecedented threat from the powerful mage Animus, who possesses a devastating weapon known as the Biscuit Hammer—a massive structure floating in space with the potential to destroy the planet. Recruited as the Lizard Knight, Yuuhi finds himself drawn into an extraordinary conflict alongside other Beast Knights, tasked with protecting a princess and defending the world from annihilation. Initially reluctant to embrace this dangerous new role, Yuuhi's perspective begins to shift when he encounters his neighbor, Princess Samidare Asahina, whose presence in his life becomes increasingly significant. As Yuuhi navigates this strange new reality filled with magical creatures and looming threats, he must confront not only external dangers but also his own inner struggles. The journey ahead promises to challenge everything he thought he knew about himself and the world around him.
