Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

I can finally, finally...pet the...the Iidatoy fluff!

Kanata Aldezia is a peerless genius, and everyone is waiting with bated breath for her to be blessed with the opportunity to be a Saint, the rarest and most honourable of professions. Little do they know that Kanata's got other plans for her—it's Beast Tamer or bust!

Illness kept her bedridden in her previous life, and she could only admire animals from the other side of a screen. This time, she's been reborn as a healthy and spry young girl, so nothing's going to stop her from petting all the fluffy critters she can!

Saint? No! I'm Just a Passing Beast Tamer!, Vol. 1 by Eleanor Summers, Iidatoy Iidatoy, Inumajin Inumajin, Carolina Hdz, and Falmaro captures Kanata's journey as she defies expectations and follows her heart's true desire.
