The plot centers around a high school student named Nina Tsukishiro, who moves to the European nation of Ruberia and quickly becomes involved with the native luga (wolf people) of the region which have been imprisoned in the island fortress of Abigaile.

[2] The English-language translated series has received generally positive reception,[3] though readers note that the manga appears to have a rushed ending, which the author confirmed in an addendum of Volume 4.

For hundreds of years, Ruberia has enslaved and taken advantage of the native wolf people known as luga for their ability to seek out the best of the country's prized roses, keeping them trapped in the castle of Abigaile.

[7] The English-language adaptation of Beasts of Abigaile has received several recommendations: Rebecca Silverman from Anime News Network gave the first 2 volumes an overall "B+" rating, praising the art which "occasionally makes references to the shoujo of the 70s and 80s" and the story's twists on the classic themes of Little Red Riding Hood.

[1] Che Gilson of Otaku USA remarks that the elements of the manga "combine to form a perfectly winning shojo fantasy", though the first volume's rapid pacing received some criticism,[3] which has been reflected in reviews of the German-language translations.
