BEASTARS 6 by Paru Itagaki

5.0

This is easily one of my new favorite mangas and anime adaptations! It’s so much more than a “darker Zootopia”.

There’s themes of identity, nature vs nurture, and mental health to name a few. The author also mentions exploring the untrustworthiness of adults; not all adults are going to make the right choices for themselves and for others. (Except Gohin the panda, he’s a very cool vigilante vegetarian doctor)

The Netflix anime’s first season is true to the manga, and ends halfway through volume 6. The rest of vol 6 alludes to an even darker arc that I’m excited to read!
