It's time for the Festival of the Meteor, which honors the world's dinosaur ancestors. While helping to decorate the town, gray wolf Legoshi runs into Netherland dwarf rabbit Haru and finds he is still inexorably drawn to her. Is it a crush or bloodlust? Is it her or any small animal? Relationships are complicated for carnivores -- their bird classmates lay the eggs they eat, and some desperate herbivores even sell their body parts on the black market. Then, when Bengal tiger Bill is tempted to buy a piece of forbidden meat, he tries to convince Legoshi to join him...

Nov 18, 2019Beastars Vol. 3 is opening the door to a wider world for both its characters and the audience. Its characterization is improving as the universe feels more fascinating and deeper than ever. Between its strong writing and great art, Beastars is easily one of the best new series I've read this year. If you haven't tried it, now is the perfect time to jump into this animal kingdom.

Nov 25, 2020There are some serious issues being discussed and dealt with in this series, especially this volume, and the use of animals helps the author really delve into the heart of these issues without calling out any specific group. Legoshi talks about his depression to several friends, and they give him less than stellar advice that he knows is not helpful. Legoshi coming to terms with his nature as a carnivore makes him examine feelings that could very well be racism or toxic masculinity in a world with no animals. I also appreciated seeing the world outside of the school, as to this point, it seemed as though they were attending school in the middle of nothing. I do feel like the murder that starts out the series has been relatively forgotten, perhaps because it happens frequently? Hopefully, we will get to find out which carnivore(s) is eating their classmates. Read Full Review
