Beet, the Vandel Buster See Boken Oh Beet

Boken Oh Beet
It was a dark time when the people of many villages were suffering attacks from the daemon Vandel, and his horde of monster minions. Only a few brave warriors, branded with mark of Buster, proved strong enough to stand up and defeat the terrors that threatened civilization. And so, a twelve-year-old boy named Beet decided to accept the brand of a Buster, much to dismay of pushy older adoptive sister. Beet had a dream of being a great warrior, great enough to join Zenon's squad known to be the strongest of Buster squads. One day, when the Zenon squad was battling a devil named Beltose, Beet wanders on the battlefield, and distracts Zenon, causing their defeat. The five dying busters put their life force into their five weapons and before they pass away, they ask Beet to continue the battle and put an end to the suffering caused by Vandel.

Boukyaku no Senritsu
Buy Over a hundred years have passed since humanity lost the war to a strange race of beasts that they call Monsters.

But not all of humanity has surrendered completely. A small group called the warriors of Melos still fight on, inspired only by a vision of a young lady known as the 'Melody of Oblivion', remembering an almost forgotten legend that if she is found and freed, then the monsters can be defeated.
