Kemono Michi: Rise Up
On AT-X
A lighthearted isekai comedy that subverts genre expectations by having its protagonist reject violence in favor of opening a pet shop for monsters, prioritizing warmth and absurdist humor over conflict.

Outraged that he was asked to kill monsters, Genzo German suplexes the princess. Unable back to get back to Earth, he decides to live a peaceful life and manage a "monster" pet shop.
