Tired of the fast-paced city life, Izuki has agreed to take care of his uncle's house in the mountains, which are said to be "visited by yokai." 

Izuki, dismissive of the superstition, goes exploring — only to be attacked by a yokai in the woods. He's saved by a beautiful man named Haku, who claims to be the incarnation of a komainu guardian dog. He pledges himself to Izuki and begs him to be his master. Izuki refuses at first, wanting to return to the city as quickly as possible, but is swayed by Haku's lonely eyes and brings him back to the house. Gradually, he falls into a comfortable rhythm with the pushy but devoted Haku while living under the same roof, and Izuki wonders if he really wants to return to the city as he thought. 

However, Haku harbors a secret that could put Izuki's life at risk. Will Izuki and Haku come together in the end, or will Haku succumb to the loneliness that he's held at bay for centuries...?

"Our two leads understand what they're missing out on in life, and finding it in each other was cute. I also credit the narrative for how it wraps up the story threads by the end. When we finally reached that point, I was admittedly emotional." — MrAJCosplay

"Are you attracted to the idea of a man who you so enamored that he can't control himself? A love interest who is more beast than man? So strong and mysterious that he might even be dangerous? That's what A Beast's Love Is Like the Moon has to offer: a supernatural romance with Twilight vibes, where the love interest is an ancient and unknowable creature who perplexingly wants nothing more than the first young ingenue to show up at his doorstep." — Lauren Orsini

Even so, laid-back Lizel isn't the type to panic. He immediately sets out to learn more about this strange place, and to help him do so, hires a seasoned adventurer named Gil as his tour guide and protector.

Until he's able to find a way home, Lizel figures this is a perfect opportunity to explore a new way of life adventuring as part of a guild. After all, he's sure he'll go home eventually... might as well enjoy the otherworldly vacation for now! manga;comic;isekai;japanese;japan;fantasy;adventure;action adventure;book;vacation towns;lizel;gil;action and adventure;city and town life;interpersonal relations;young adult fiction;YA;graphic novels;adventure and adventurers;adventure stories;comics and graphic novels;comic books;strips;vacations;tour guides persons

After their first successful adventure together, Lizel has officially formed a party with his guard and companion, the famous adventurer Gil. A renowned swordsman known by the moniker Single Stroke for his ability to take down any enemy with just one swipe, Gil has promised to protect Lizel as they become an official part of the adventurer's guild — and the two are already making waves! 

Lizel's charming personality has earned him a few friends by now, among them a young appraiser named Judge, the grandson of a rich merchant from the mercantile capital of Marcade. When he asks them to accompany him as guards on a trip to visit his grandfather, Lizel happily accepts the opportunity to sightsee and explore in such a famous country. Gil, on the other hand, is more excited about seeing if there are any super-strong monsters to fight in Marcade's Labyrinth. It's time for the newly-formed party to prove their mettle! manga;comic;graphic novel;anime;isekai;momochi;misaki;sando;japanese;japan;tankobon;fantasy;slice of life;light novel;teen;teenager;young adult;odayaka na kizoku no kyuuka no susume

It quickly becomes clear that someone is targeting Lizel... but who could it be, and for what reason?
