BEASTARS, Vol. 1 by Paru Itagaki
4.0
'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.
