Goodreads Syopsis:
You've got to be kitten me!
A proud knight, slain in battle, finds himself alive once more-reincarnated in the body of a fearsome behemoth. As if he wasn't confused enough by this turn of events, apparently behemoth cubs look exactly like adorable kittens?! Even if the rest of the world sees him as soft and cuddly, he has the honor of a noble warrior and the strength of an unstoppable S-ranked monster, both of which will be put to the test as he fights to protect the beautiful elf who has taken him as her pet!

Review:
Tama was a proud knight, but now he's been reincarnated as a highly
powerful monster, only he looks like a tiny little kitten. When Aria,
an elf girl, is going through a dungeon and stumbles upon him, she
takes him home with her. Thus starts his life as her pet cat, and his
devotion to protect her.
This was very weird.
Not even to mention the fact that Aria is objectified by every male
in her vicinity, and how they're all jealous of this tiny kitten
laying in her cleavage—which why. And how there's this knight who
is obsessed with her and puts out an order to exterminate her cat in
order to claim her as his bride—in a very Gaston-like fashion.
But then there's the fact that Aria gets aroused by Tama, in his
little kitten form. This isn't even hinted at, it's very blatant and
even discussed, since apparently they might be able to crossbreed,
and she likes that.
I will say that I'm glad some of the time is spent on Aria fighting
and getting higher level, and even on Tama's history. But there's
also just so much sexualization, and Aria is leered at constantly.
The sexual harassment is real in this series. She does also partake
in that, though, since she kind of gropes Tama at one point.
There's a lot wrong with this volume. I'm mostly very confused on why
this whole idea was chosen. I guess it's for a very specific
audience? But somehow I didn't hate it, and I'm even more confused by that.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, Yen Press, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
