Monstrous Blood is a Japanese Shonen manga that has been published by Shonen Jump since May 17th, 2006.

Synopsis
Set in a world where monsters and humans co-exist, Kai, the hyperactive and slightly cocky son of the Monster King, heads on a quest to become strong enough to beat his father, making several friends and enemies on the quest.

Main

 * Kai - the hyperactive yet both cocky and determined son of the Monster King who after being only seen as a weak link by his father, heads on a quest to become strong enough to beat him, slowly gaining more and more strength to prove himself to his father, being rather connected to fire itself, using it for most of his attacks.
 * Silver - a cynical and focused monster slayer who wants to prove himself as the best, reluctantly being convinced by Kai to join him due to Kai needing partners to help him train. He wields a blade and is extremely agile.
 * Cora - a rather bubbly snake-like monster girl who wants to train herself to be the best, encountering Kai and becoming a more friendly rival to him, wanting to train herself to be hopefully as strong as him.
 * Shard - a small flying furry monster who despite refusing to fight, is a skilled medic, having been the Monster King's medic as he decides to join Kai so he doesn't get too hurt in his quest.
 * TBD

Supporting

 * Amon - the cold and ruthless king of the monsters and Kai's father who only sees worth in those who are strong, having neglected his son and is primarily focused on ruling the monsters, however it is revealed he somewhat cares for his son.
 * Jacques - a lobster monster who is the head chef of Amon as he is surprisingly good at cooking food, his meals being considered to be among the best food out there, although he can be insane at times.
 * TBD
