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.
