BEASTARS is a story that revolves around anthropomorphic animals in a modern and civilized setting. The situation between carnivores and herbivores is tense. Legoshi, a grey wolf, has been perceived to be scary and intimidating, even though he is a actually shy and sensitive. Legoshi works in a drama club in Cherryton Academy as a stagehand and support. This drama club is headed by Louis, a red deer. One day, a drama club member got murdered. It turns out it was Tem, an alpaca, and Legoshi’s friend. With this crime, the distrust towards carnivores became severe, which led to Legoshi trying to lay low. Legoshi then met Haru, a white dwarf rabbit who experienced discrimination from her peers. Legoshi then started to develop complicated feelings for Haru.
