It’s a fascinating look at what a world would look like with multiple species, who have never had to coexist, having to live together. The series is being written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki who is a newcomer to the manga industry,
but along with Beastars, she has also been published in a few other manga anthologies. Beastars has a large cast of characters, but the main focus is on three animals: a pig named Boar, a deer named Roe, and a wolf named Keita. The series has been praised for its detailed and expressive artwork, which creates some very interesting pictures on the page. Itagaki’s style is similar to that of Satsuki Yoshino, who is also a newcomer to the manga industry, and has been quite popular for her manga series about animals, Girlish No.

At Cherryton Academy, this mutual distrust peaks after a predation incident results in the death of Tem, an alpaca in the school’s drama club.

Beastars Story
In a civilized society of anthropomorphic animals, an uneasy tension exists between carnivores and herbivores. At Cherryton Academy, this mutual distrust peaks after a predation incident results in the death of Tem, an alpaca in the school’s drama club. Tem’s friend Legoshi, a grey wolf in the stage crew, has been an object of fear and suspicion for his whole life.
In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, he continues to lay low and hide his menacing traits, much to the disapproval of Louis, a red deer and the domineering star actor of the drama club. When Louis sneaks into the auditorium to train Tem’s replacement for an upcoming play, he assigns Legoshi to lookout duty. That very night, Legoshi has a fateful encounter with Haru, a white dwarf rabbit scorned by her peers. His growing feelings for Haru, complicated by his predatory instincts, force him to confront his own true nature, the circumstances surrounding the death of his friend, and the undercurrent of violence plaguing the world around him.
