After dying in a fight against the forces of evil, a knight found himself reincarnated as one of the most powerful monsters in the world: a behemoth! Problem is, he has to grow up before he can really strut his stuff, and a baby behemoth looks an awful lot like…a housecat?! And when an elf adventurer decides to take him in, she may need his help as much as he needs hers!

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!

Beheneko: The Elf-Girl's Cat Is Secretly an S-Ranked Monster!
_(S-Rank Monster no "Behemoth" dakedo, Neko to Machigawarete Elf Musume no Pet toshite Kurashitemasu)_ is a vast disappointment veiled in men's beloved gratuitous fan service.
There is plenty of boobs & butt for the medieval world this fantasy series takes place in. But the nefarious elements of **_identity politics is blatant_** for all to see. One of the male characters in this series is conservatively **_gay_** (dresses & behaves like an ordinary straight man). He is involved with the flamboyant muscle **_twink_** that is "the Guildmaster" or he owns the tavern in which the MC stays. I don't know which as once the conservative **_gay_** male character declared his sexuality, I quit watching the show.
**_Note to the creators:_** Keep the gay in the Boy-boy Love section where it belongs.

Live and let live, but don't try to underhandedly invade my entertainment. I don't care how awesome he is, I don't care how great his powers are, I don't care how integral he is to the progression of the story - in fact, the more prominent the **_gay_** guy is, the worst it is for the overall story - I do not live that lifestyle, and will not explain it to anyone younger as normal, and will not consume such underhanded infiltration by viewing.
Let women watch it; they'll probably love it.

**_Forced homosexuality_** in entertainment is a rotten potato that spoils the curry stew.

You've reached the end.
