BEASTARS

No wonder the January report was so late.

Unbelievable.

A 17-year-old wolf with a whole life ahead of him

eats the leg of his friend, a deer.

How many more of these cases do I have to see?

Oh, hang on.

REPORT LEGOSHI

"The objective, which was mutually agreed upon with the victim,

was to bring a devourer to justice"?

Really?

So we're fighting fire with fire, are we, boys?

DISCHARGED

Interesting.

But still despicable.

TOP SECRET

He may have agreed to it, but I sure as hell do not.

As the Beastar of this world,

I can't let it go.

- I want you to eat me. -

I swore I'd never eat meat again.

I made a vow.

- Choose your favorite finger. - But the taste...

The texture.

- Do you want a bite? Rabbit blood. - The flavor...

The moisture.

So warm.

I'm powerless,

and sorrowful...

You feel joy from the bottom of your heart.

No matter how much you struggle against it,

your true nature is that of a brutal, vicious carnivore.

I was always... struggling with my own blood.

I want to make sure this world is a place where Haru can live in peace.

And yet...

...the blood that flows through these veins... still wants for living flesh!

- -

Ugh! So loud! Every night, it's the same thing!

And I have work in the morning!

What kind of person acts like this?

Not even a "Hello, neighbor" when he moved in.

Well, I got something to say to him!

- A wolf... -

What do I say?

Complaining might not be the best way to start.

- -

Uh, excuse me, sir?

- Huh? -

Good evening. I'm Seven, and I live in the room next door.

- It's a pleasure-- -

- -

What's with him?

That's a rather rude way to treat people.

Unbelievable!

Sorry about that, neighbor.

Hmm? No meat response.

If that dog really isn't eating meat,

then these symptoms are a bit unusual.

If it's not meat intoxication...

It's me, I have your food!

Finally!

Come on in, kid.

Put it anywhere.

Straight-from-the-pot udon with bamboo leaf topping.

Sorry for the wait. That's 500.

Nice uniform there. You can pull off anything.

At least I'm not dressing like a girl again.

Good. 'Cause I almost had a heart attack. I thought my ex-wife had come back.

Well, sit down.

What in the world are you doing?

No, I'd rather stand.

- Just one gulp. -

Kines...

So, uh, even though I had permission to eat his leg, the truth is,

I was prepared to make up for it in prison.

But then, thanks to Louis and the others testifying for me...

...they ended up letting me go with just a minor offense charge.

Although, "Record of prior devouring" will have to stay in my file.

A scarred-up violent, criminal virgin, huh?

So, you're still catching meat eaters

to bring 'em back here and treat 'em, I take it?

Hmm.

Yeah, the situation's worse than ever.

I don't suppose you'd want to help me with my work again, would you?

- - I can pay more than that udon place.

Forget it, I don't want to. The whole thing's way too shady for me.

- What was that, you little punk? -

Look, I just mean, I want legitimate work, out in the open.

I want to be a normal member of society and lead a happy family life with Haru.

- And how's that family life going? - Huh?

Uh, my family? I don't know--

Look, don't answer if you don't want to. I was just curious is all.

Well...

I don't have a mom or dad.

I used to live with my grandpa.

Is your grandpa well?

You know, probably...

Hmm. I see.

We, uh...

We get along just fine and all, but, I, uh... I haven't...

mentioned to him that I got arrested yet.

- Hang on a sec. - Hmm?

- Here's the drugs. - Oh, right.

Meat withdrawal symptoms can be pretty severe

for up to three months or so.

- Better take them. - Yeah.

I appreciate it.

Sure.

- See you later. - Yeah. All right, then.

Ah!

- Legoshi! - Uh, yeah?

"Record of prior devouring," was the official wording?

Yes.

Then I should say,

there's one thing you won't be able to do with that in your file.

Hmm?

Interspecies marriage with an herbivore.

What? I can't get married?

No!

Haru!

Oh, to be young and in love!

Ibuki.

The king of the beasts is supposed to be fierce and strong...

...yet your rule was much like your mane.

Beautiful and gentle.

How is it? The new leg, I mean.

It was remarkably easy to learn to walk again.

You're quite fortunate. It was built with the latest technology.

I only hope it won't affect your studies.

No, sir. Thank you.

You do realize those legs of yours

are meant to walk the path of the heir to The Horns Conglomerate.

They are not meant to feed your carnivore friends.

Yes, sir.

I don't mind a little improvising, but that's too far.

You're saying I should live according to your script?

In a way.

But more importantly,

I want you to think for yourself, find and fulfill your own role.

I thought that living on the edges of society was the answer,

but I suppose now,

I have to confront how I'm meant to live within it.

So I heard you went to the Black Market. You lose your meat virginity yet?

- - What kind did you get?

It was... I think, pig.

What, you "think"? What do you mean, you "think"?

- Who cares what it was? I ate it. - Oh, yeah.

A year ago, that conversation never would have happened.

- - Hmm.

CHERRYTON OPENING CEREMONY

Welcome, all.

As you already know, beginning with this academic year,

our carnivore and herbivore students

will be split into two separate academic tracks.

You understand that we must, at all cost, avoid a repeat of last year's tragedy.

I'm sure this may seem confusing, but as Cherryton...

Maybe the classrooms will smell better now.

Getting rid of the dogs alone will be enough.

It'll be nice to walk the hallways in peace.

Frankly, separate education is a relief.

Well, that's more weight off our shoulders.

- - I guess so.

As our last order of business,

I would like to announce the students for this year's Advanced Class.

Gonna the canines again.

- For sure. - Please stand up if your name is called.

Class A. Lando.
