The manga by Itagaki-sensei has been published by Akita Shoten in Weekly Shonen Champion since September 2016, and currently has 19 volumes.
Synopsis
The story takes place in a world with civilized and completely anthropomorphic animals, with a cultural debt between carnivores and herbivores. Legosi, a large gray wolf, is a shy and quiet student at Cherryton Academy, where he lives in a dormitory with many other carnivorous students, including his extroverted Labrador friend, Jack. As a member of the school's drama club, Legosi works as a stagehand and assists the club's actors, headed by celebrity actor Louis, a red deer. Unexpectedly, Tem, the alpaca, is brutally murdered and devoured one night, spreading a wave of unease and distrust among the carnivorous and herbivorous students. At the same time, Legosi has a fateful encounter with Haru, a cute little bunny, and begins to develop feelings for her.
The anime was directed by Shinichi Matsumi at Studio Orange and licensed by Netflix, with a script by Nanami Higuchi and music by Satoru Kosaki. The first season of Beastars aired in October 2019 with 12 episodes.
