But upon finding her, the witch (a petite, white-haired girl named Zero) nonchalantly reveals that she’s no ordinary sorceress. She wields powerful magic from a forbidden grimoire, and instead of fighting, she offers the beastfallen a deal: become her bodyguard, and she’ll use the grimoire to turn him human again.

Episode 1 sets up a classic “odd couple on a quest” premise, but with a dark fantasy twist that feels fresh. Zero is already an entertaining lead, and the beastfallen’s internal conflict — between his monstrous form and his human heart — gives the story emotional weight.
