Thank you to VIZ Media, NetGalley, and Paru Itagaki for the opportunity to read this manga in exchange for an honest review.

Another brilliant volume. It's action packed with drama and romance. We get to see further developments with Legoshi and Haru's relationship, Legoshi is asked by the BEASTAR to help find and arrest someone, though plans go awry, we learn more about Legoshi's parents, and we get a nice reunion with Loius and the Shishi-Gumi.

A brilliant manga with only 6 more volumes to go. Every volume feels like important character and plot points, and I can't get enough of this series! A perfect addition to any manga collection.

One thing I love about this series is how each volume adds to some aspect of the world-building. This series has a very complex world, that seems to get darker and more serious the farther you get into it. It is a very different world than our own, but in many ways it's also similar. There is a dark tone surrounding the adult world in this series, yet there is still hope and good people within it.

This volume introduces a new mixed-species character that explores identity with both an herbivore and a carnivore parent. He's an interesting contrast to Legoshi and I like the conversations about mixed-species animals that came from it. It was also nice to catch up with Louis a bit and see how the Shishigumi has continued without him. I do wish we were able to spend some more time with Haru, though.

As always, the art is gorgeous. I'm excited to continue on with the series. Thank you, NetGalley for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. The whole tone of the story moving forward just took a huge shift. We meet the new character here on the front, and it truly makes an impact on the storyline. It makes you look and think differently about how our characters have been behaving up to this point. We do have a run in with the Shishigumi, and it rocked me to my core. Can't wait to see how the series continues, as we are beginning to make our descent to the end of the story.

I loved this volume. It was fun, action-packed, drama that is beastar and I really enjoyed every page. Easy to follow story line, fun/different art. The concept of herbivores and carnivores is really interesting. This feels like a darker adult verison of zootopia.
