Beastars is a manga series set in a world inhabited by modern, civilized, anthropomorphic animals, where a cultural divide exists between carnivores and herbivores. The series derives its name from the in-universe title of "Beastar," which is given to individuals of exceptional talent, service, and notoriety. The story primarily revolves around Legoshi a gray wolf, as he grapples with his feelings of attraction towards Haru, a rabbit. Paru Itagaki launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine on September 8, 2016.[1]
In a September 2019 interview with the Spanish website Ramen Para Dos, Itagaki stated that the manga would have "at most twenty volumes".[2] In January 2020, Itagaki commented that the "end is in sight".[3] The manga concluded with its 196th chapter on October 8, 2020.[4][5][6] Akita Shoten has compiled its chapters into twenty-two individual tankōbon volumes. The first volume was released on January 6, 2017, and the final volume, the 22nd volume, was released on January 8, 2021. During their panel at Anime NYC 2018, Viz Media announced that they have licensed the manga.[7] The first volume was released on July 16, 2019.[8]
