I really enjoyed the Netflix show so I decided to pick up the manga. I'm hooked. Can't wait for the next 8 to arrive! This will be one I'll love to have in my collection. The art is beautiful, the panels are dynamic and the story is darling.

'Beastars Volume 1' created by Paru Itagaki is a manga about a really odd boarding school.
The boarding school is filled with anthropomorphic animals who are divided in dorms by predator and prey. The school has a tension because of this that is ramped up when a popular drama student is killed, probably by one of the predator students. Legoshi, a large grey wolf, is the prime suspect. Still, the show must go on, and the big play (about the grim reaper) that the students are preppeng for must go on with a new lead in the show.
This is a curiously odd story that makes me ask questions, like 'if a student is murdered, why is the play still happening?' but I liked this strange world and I would like to read more about it. I especially liked the sense of danger that the prey animals were feeling. I also really liked the art and character design.
I received a review copy of this manga from VIZ Media in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.

Oh, this was neat!!
I watched the anime soon after it came out (sometime around 2019? Maybe the start of 2020?) and I liked it a lot, not only due to the cinematography, animation and style but also because the story was very interesting. Lately, I’ve been getting more into furry art, and the second season dropped, so it seemed like a good time to finally read this.
I can already see this manga series will have lots of complex conflicts to explore, and I’m here for it. The whole thing about instinct and the inner demon, Haru’s bullying, the debate of what is your true nature, the discrimination/prejudice... hell yeah. Legoshi is also a dear (even if he won’t stop saying weird shit), and I kind of love Louis even if he’s an asshole. I’m very interested in Louis and Legoshi’s dynamic and relationship, actually, because it seems that they both see each other beyond all their bullshit. I’m also very excited to see more of Haru because I love her and how unapologetic she is. Finally, Jack is precious and the best friend.
So yeah!!! This was all sorts of fun, even if I didn’t completely settle in on the story yet. I’ll be definitely continuing this!
