BEASTARS 5 by Paru Itagaki

4.0

One thing I'm noticing about this series is how big stuff happens, and then it's forgotten and never mentioned again. I'm not talking about characters that say two lines and then disappear, I'm mean one of the protagonist is sexual assaulted (not technically r*ped but close) and immediately afterwards she's fine and it's never brought up again.

The mayor of the town that the main characters live in shows up. He's a creepy lion that got plastic surgery to look less scary but it had the opposite effect. He tries to blackmail Louis for a completely nonsensical reason and then hes gone.

The fight scenes feel clunky and Juno is here so that's always a negative. But you know what, I read this in a day and was having fun.
