could only endure reading 3–4 chapters, but God, was it annoying. The MC is pretty much a normal human with the blandest, most non-risky, generally boring good-guy personality in a bear’s body. Being a bear comes with no consequences and is only there to make him OP as shit from the start. He is still somehow capable of speech, logical thinking at a human level with no bear instincts interfering, walking on two legs like a human 24/7, and—TOOL USE! (Fucker literally skins and dismantles a boar AS A GODDAMN BEAR). Where is the weight of putting someone in the body of a bear, my guy? Make him actually scary. Make him unable to communicate. Make his human sense of morals conflict with his beastly instincts of survival—not whatever this half-cooked shit show of a manga is. Bro gets a fucking harem by episode 2 AS A LITERAL FUCKING POLAR BEAR. Pathetic. Truly pathetic.

TL;DR: Being a bear has no effects. MC is just a very big human that looks like a bear.
Final score: 2/10 — 2 points because bears are still cool even when drawn badly.

It’s not amazing. Not much detail and logic is kind of meh. (Like, how does he have any background knowledge at all about the werewolves and knights?) And the art is… comparable to the story. But there’s a bit of charm to the awkwardness and bear puns. Even even some charm to the idea that MC is very much a human stuck in bear form and doesn’t act like a bear at all. Feels like a lot of manga. Premise has some mild potential, but everything in the execution seems sort of amateurish.
