Synopsis
Human-animal hybrid Hitomi, a fearless honey badger, protects college student Yuuya after slaughtering his kidnapping acquaintances.
People have been created that are human-animal hybrids, and powerful businesses bet on the outcome of their duels. College student Nomoto Yuuya's casual acquaintances ask him to drive them around to pick up girls one day, which he soon finds out means by force. The girl they kidnap is an animal-human hybrid named Hitomi, who slaughters all of them except Yuuya. Hitomi is a honey badger, which has been called the most fearless of all animals. Now Hitomi is assigned to stay with Yuuya, for his protection! (Source: MangaHelpers)

- 8 “This manga is super exciting! It not only has super brutality and some really nice ecchi but also a nice plot. I'm not sure why there is only 9 chapters, though I'm happy for the anime adaptation!...”
- 7 “Since this is my first review on this website it may not be the best review but i'm still going to try... This story had a good premise to it and was interesting to read the 9 chapters this manga...”
- 8 “Kengan Ashura with furries. If you want to see that concept executed far better than it should be, you need to read this manga. I can't believe this thing is below a 7 on MAL, loads of crap manga...”
