Ookami no Ko Sora wa Senjou ni iru

A manga about a human child Sora who is being raised by a wolf beast soldier Dill in the war zone of Iris island.

I really liked this manga. It reminded a lot of Peleliu – Rakuen no Guernica in the way the cute characters juxtapose the horrors of war. In this case we have a conflict between humans and a beast race of anthropomorphized animals. This series is different from BEASTARS as it includes the existence of humans.

The wolf soldier Dill is a great lead character. There’s lots of time exploring his conflicting feelings as a cold ruthless killer and a guardian of a human. You also get the naive perspective of war through the eyes of a child with Sora. I’m looking forward to seeing how Sora’s presence will effect the conflict between man and beast.

Currently serialized online on Kurage Bunch.
