OKAYADO acknowledged that it was not a good idea to leave a work half-finished, but he reached a mental state where he was unable to draw. He added that, when he floated the idea of canceling 12 Beast to his editor, the editor did not even suggest that the manga only go on hiatus. So OKAYADO felt that the manga was truly being treated as already canceled, and he lost motivation to continue. Summary Touga Eita is a high school student and video-game otaku. He is the heir to the Touga style Ninjitsu, and he has never kissed a girl. All this changes when a voluptuous girl with wings and taloned feet named Aero appears and calls on Eita to help save her people-the harpies of Re-Verse-from the merciless onslaught of giant robot monsters known as Gigas. Aero reveals that she was sent to find him, by his missing brother. Eita will follow his newfound harpy friend into a whole new world, filled with monster girls and fantastical creatures beyond his wildest dreams.

His grandfather is a ninja, who wants him to inherit the dojo (despite his refusal to do so), and trains him every day.

After being summoned to Re-verse, he obtains a gauntlet from Asterio that has the power of fusing with any of his companions, to increase his powers.http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/12-beast/gn-1/.87447 12 Beast GN 1 Silverman Rebecca April 26, 2015 Anime News Network April 30, 2015 Aero エアロ Earo: A female Harpy who asks Eita to help her save her world, taking him to Re-verse and becoming his first traveling companion.
