Summary of The Clevatess Manga – The King of Devil Beasts, The Baby and the Brave of Undead Chapter 1 Summary
If you’re looking for a manga that perfectly blends dark fantasy with unexpectedly heartwarming moments, The Clevatess Manga – The King of Devil Beasts, The Baby and the Brave of Undead is absolutely worth your time! Written and illustrated by Yuji Iwahara, this series takes a familiar premise and flips it into something genuinely special .
The story kicks off with Clevatess, the terrifying Devil Beast King of the South, who rules from Luna Mountain. He’s an ancient, house-sized wolf made of shadows with a skull for a face basically the definition of a nightmare. When thirteen heroes attack his territory, he doesn’t toy with them; he efficiently wipes them out, then marches to the human capital of Hyden to deliver retribution. He destroys the royal palace, kills the king, and then… discovers a baby in the rubble
.
That baby is Luna (real name Hydelius VI), the crown prince and last pure-blooded heir of the kingdom. Instead of destroying him, Clevatess takes the infant as a “nuisance” to study whether humanity deserves extinction. But here’s where it gets fun—he has absolutely no idea how to care for a human baby! Enter Alicia Glenfall, one of the thirteen heroes he killed. Clevatess revives her using his demonic blood, making her an immortal undead warrior bound to serve him. Her job? Basically to be Luna’s nanny and food source
.
What makes this manga shine is the dynamic between these three. You’ve got Clevatess, who can destroy kingdoms but panics when Luna needs a diaper change; Alicia, a proud warrior reduced to playing caretaker while dealing with her immortality and traumatic death; and sweet little Luna, who grows from a helpless infant into a toddler taking his first steps toward his “monster” guardian. Later, they’re joined by Nelluru, a former slave with a tragic past who becomes Luna’s wet nurse, adding even more emotional depth .
The series balances brutal action like battles against other Devil Beast Kings and political intrigue involving the scheming General Dorel with genuinely touching slice-of-life moments. It’s part apocalyptic fantasy, part accidental parenting diary, and completely addictive. Trust me, watching the “King of Devil Beasts” become a protective father figure will melt your heart!
