The complete volume of Monsters – excerpt
Aki Species:? Type: monster
In pic: —— every bullet hit him!
Although able to move at speeds too fast for the human eye to follow, sometimes that power doesn’t work. One of the reasons is not thinking carefully before moving. Usually a carefree fellow, but once you antagonize him….
Reward: J1000-
Danger level: one star

Aki Soul form
Species: Diawolf Type: s-class monster
Text Below pic:
Once Aki gets angry, he’ll turn into his diawolf soul form. Though his explosive strength and speed increases significantly, a flaw is that he’ll immediately fall into a deep sleep. With a strong body as a weapon, he’s a master at using Monster Fist, and has an ultimate attack.
Reward: J7000000-
Danger Level: unmeasurable
