Monsters known as Vandels rule the world and when they kill a group of Busters, the only warriors able to defeat them, the magic Saiga weapons are passed on to Beet, who is determined to rid the world of them and end the Century of Darkness.

Thanks for waiting, everyone! Here is the first volume of Beet! Unlike Dai's Adventure, which was set in a world not too different from our own, for this story we've constructed a new world from scratch, setting up new rules for the world, the Vandels and the monsters. It's the biggest struggle we deal with, but it also gives us pleasure to take on the unpredictable. We'll continue to do our best, so please cheer us on! -Riku Sanjo Author Riku Sanjo and artist Koji Inada were both born in Tokyo in 1964.
