Plot

The King of the Beasts and Demons regularly receives female human sacrifices to eat in order to assert the dominance of his people over the human race. However, for the 99th sacrifice, the human girl brought to the capital, Sariphi, intrigues the Beast King. In fact she isn't afraid of him or any other beast and even accepts her death without begging or crying as she has neither home nor family to return to if she were released. The King finds her intriguing and let her stay at his side as his consort despite being human. This is the story of how Sariphi will become the queen of the demons and beasts.

Sariphi is taken in chains to the Kingdom of Beasts, Ozmargo, as a sacrifice. The King is intrigued when she is rude to his chancellor Anubis but shows no fear. Her name means "sacrifice" and her adoptive parents raised her as a surrogate for their own daughter and she has accepted her fate. The King temporarily treats her as a guest and takes her on an inspection of a border town where flowers grow - one of the few places in the kingdom not covered with poisonous miasma. On the night of the sacrifice in a secluded underground room, Sariphi is confronted by an assassin planning to kill the King but a human suddenly stops him. The man is in fact the King whose mother was human which causes him to suffer immense guilt over his deception. The transformation occurs on each rare "moonlit night of the revelation" when he is supposed to devour the sacrifice. He secretly releases the sacrifices then cuts himself to make it look like their blood has spilled. He symbolically breaks Sariphi's chains and the next day as the beast King, he outrages his court by declaring Sariphi will be his Queen. Sariphi calls the unnamed king "Leonhart", meaning "brave heart", which he accepts.

The King's court begs him to reconsider his choice for queen but he refuses. He orders Sariphi not to call him Leonhart in public. Sariphi makes some paper flowers to decorate the castle and likens Leonhart to a carpenter bee because of his large furry body and gentle nature. At a banquet to present Sariphi to the rest of the kingdom, the guests of various beast races are shocked to learn a human will be the queen. Sariphi disarms the guests by helping the servants distribute food, also impressing Leonhart. A Reptilian trips Sariphi causing her to spill wine on the King. However, Leonhart saw his ploy and prepares to kill the transgressor but Sariphi stops him to prevent any bloodshed. After the banquet, Sariphi regrets not being more useful, but the King takes her out to a beautiful, remote area on his dragon-like Holy Beast Gwiber. He explains that her purpose is to help keep his violent nature in check as she did with the Reptilian. He then allows her to privately call him Leonhart.

When Anubis mentions Leonhart has not taken a break in ages, she asks him to go on a walk with her through town. Leonhart disguises himself with a hood and makes Saphiri disguise herself as a beast. They have fun mingling with the citizens and help a lost child find his mother, but Sariphi begins to feel faint and her disguise falls off. The citizens immediately turn hostile at seeing a human, forcing Leonhart to escape with her. Back in the palace, Sariphi faints and the physician says she has been poisoned by miasma exposure. Sariphi wakes up in a human town in the care of a physician and his wife, who explain that they treated her after she was left at their doorstep with money and a note that none of them can read as it is in beast language. She becomes their assistant, but when the townsfolk learn she was the sacrifice, they trash the clinic and assault the physician, forcing them to kick her out. Heartbroken, she wanders the woods, but Leonhart in his human form finds her and explains the note said he would come back for her after he acquired a ring that will protect her from the miasma. They return home and Sariphi likens the ring to a wedding ring.

She befriends Amit, the princess of the Reptilians, who has been exiled until she can get with Leonhart. Jormungand, the Reptilian captain of the guard, returns from a mission and Amit reveals to Sariphi that she has been in love with him ever since a time he helped her as a child. At a banquet to honor Jormungand's return, the other princesses tear Amit's dress apart, but Sariphi loans her a dress that makes her turn heads, and Amit is delighted when Jormungand recognizes her. Vivian gets Sariphi alone and threatens her as she plans to seduce Leonhart and make him her puppet. Amit finds and defends Sariphi, then Leonhart arrives and angrily orders Vivian to get out.

Anubis says Sariphi must prove herself as Queen by summoning a Holy Beast, but Leonhart points out since she has no magic, she would have to power the spell with her own life force and there is a risk she could summon a malevolent demon. Wanting to contribute, she agrees to do it, but repeatedly botches the spell and hurts herself. While resting, Sariphi says she is willing to sacrifice herself, but Leonhart reminds her that she must live for him. Galvanized, she performs the spell and summons a baby phoenix, Bennu. Sariphi is the only one who can understand his speech. Bennu is arrogant and rude, and is insulted when Anubis doubts he is really a phoenix. Bennu confides that he was reduced to his current state after exhausting his power healing ungrateful soldiers. A pair of assassins fire an arrow at Bennu, which grazes him and knocks him off a wall.

She explains that he is her childhood friend Ilya who hates beasts for attacking his village and swore to protect her. She convinces Leonhart to release him and send him home, but shortly after he is released, he faints from hunger. They put him in a guest room, but when Sariphi and Amit bring food, he insults Amit for being a beast and asks Sariphi to come with him, angered when she refuses because she will marry Leonhart. After comforting Amit, Sariphi brings Ilya more food. He tries to convince her that a beast like Leonhart could not possibly love her, but when she still refuses to leave, he knocks her out and carries her off. Anubis, who wanted Sariphi gone, claims that she went with him willingly, but Amit reminds Leonhart of how hard she worked to prove herself worthy. Leonhart leaves Jormungand in charge while he uses Gwiber to pursue them.

He says all beasts are evil and confesses that he is in love with her. She sadly refuses him and says that there are good and evil beasts, just like humans. He retorts that before they met, beasts killed and ate his mother and little sister Misha, and for that, he will never rest until the beasts are exterminated. He ties her up just as Leonhart arrives and fights him. Leonhart holds back and gets stabbed in the gut. Ilya loses his will to fight when Sariphi cries over Leonhart, making him realize she genuinely loves him. Bennu heals Leonhart and Ilya makes him promise to protect Sariphi. Bennu flies Sariphi and Ilya to a human territory so they can properly say goodbye. Back in the palace, everybody except Anubis is happy Sariphi is back and they have a garden party.

She excuses herself from the feast, but Leonhart follows her, shares food, and kisses her. She later asks Galois for a dance, but he makes his servant take his place. The servant says he was burned by humans as revenge for killing several of them, but he does not hate humans. When he sees Sariphi and his servant are having fun, Galois angrily threatens him with his sword, but she shields him. When he attempts to strike her, the servant catches the sword, then reveals that he is the true Galois and the fake was his second-in-command, Joz. Galois explains the ruse was to test the character of the human who would be their queen, and she passed.

Once alone, Tetra calls Sariphi ugly and makes her do tasks like playing fetch, stealing desserts, and letting Tetra ride her like a horse, but she is surprised that Sariphi thinks this is fun instead of demeaning. Tetra rants that her mother ignored her ever since Calcara was born; since no one loves her, she will commit suicide by leaping from a tower. Sariphi tries to talk her down, and she is surprised when Queen Calra shows up to talk her down, convincing her that her mother loves her. She loses her balance and falls off, as does Sariphi who tried to catch her, but Gwiber saves them. Grateful for helping her daughter, Calra allows Sariphi to perform the ceremony. Tetra and Sariphi have a sleepover where Tetra says she is attracted to Anubis, but if they married, their children would look like him due to his superior genetics. Sariphi is embarrassed when she brings up her having children with Leonhart. Leonhart pulls her aside and confides that he never knew his mother and his father, the previous king, was harsh and strict with him and locked him up whenever he took human form. When his father was dying of an illness, he said he always hated him for his human blood and tried to strangle him before succumbing.

Reception

Rebecca Silverman from Anime News Network said that "Beauty and the Beast is alive and well in Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts – it's almost a by-the-book retelling of the classic fairy tale. That's definitely part of the appeal of this initial volume, because the Beauty of folklore isn't always as spunky as she could be, often winning over the Beast with her gentle ways and calm demeanor."[1] Richard Gutierrez of The Fandom Post saw the story as more than a retelling, saying that the author "has sincerely crafted a narrative which engenders the reader on many fronts", complimenting the pair's relationship and its innocence.[70] Sean Gaffney of Manga Bookshelf noted that the manga has nostalgic scenes that reference other series, liking the characterization of the characters and especially the protagonist, but was wary of her young age.[71]
