About Beastars
Beastars is set at Cherryton Academy, a boarding school where anthropomorphic carnivores and herbivores study side by side beneath a fragile social truce. When an alpaca student is killed on campus, long-buried tensions between predator and prey species rise to the surface and unsettle the entire student body. At the centre of the story is Legoshi, a towering but withdrawn gray wolf who struggles to reconcile his fearsome instincts with his deeply gentle nature.
As Legoshi is drawn into the drama club and the orbit of its star performer, a red deer named Louis, he begins to question what kind of creature he wants to be. A quiet encounter with Haru, a small white dwarf rabbit, awakens feelings he cannot easily name, blurring the line between attraction, hunger and a sincere wish to protect her. The series treats these conflicting impulses with care, using the carnivore and herbivore divide as a thoughtful metaphor for identity, prejudice and self-control.
Across two seasons produced by Studio Orange in expressive CG animation, Beastars widens its lens from school life to the hidden corners of its animal society, including a black market where forbidden meat is traded. Legoshi, Haru and Louis each follow distinct paths toward maturity, testing friendship, ambition and the meaning of strength. The result is a coming-of-age mystery that asks how individuals can choose decency in a world built on instinct and inequality.
