Classic beast-world action. Very happy to have these continued glimpses into the world of Beastars. I don't think the stories as a whole were as dynamic or compelling as those in Vol. 2, but there are for sure a lot of gems in here.

Itagaki back at it again with some more creative short stories within the Beastars universe!
This one explored some great ideas, from a sheep who needs to learn to think for herself and an unlikely friend who helps her, to Legoshi himself learning more about the culture of marine animal life. I always come out of reading these stories wishing I just had more, as a lot of the characters/relationships I just want to read about in their own series at times!
I really enjoyed this one and, as always, Itagaki's art is forever stunning and brilliant.

I absolutely loved The Turtle and The Sheep and, of course, I always want to see Legosi.

I am a big fan of Beastars’ world building so getting little stories around it to add complexity and depth to it along with easter eggs about the main series… was exactly what I needed
