BEASTARS

Tomatoes are often said to be in-season during summer,

but they're actually tastiest in fall and early winter.

Sorry.

Huh?

What?

It might take a little bit longer.

Oh, we'll wait!

Don't worry about it!

I like to cook.

Every now and then I'll treat my roommates to a meal like this.

Whenever I cook, I can feel an inner sense of peace.

Here you are. Bon appétit.

Thanks!

Man, I can't get enough of Riz's cooking.

But the taste is always pretty strong, huh?

Oh, did I overdo it again?

I'll be more careful.

For some reason,

I've lost my sense of taste ever since that night.

Having consensually eaten Tem the alpaca,

I'm the only bear who has ever formed a true friendship with an herbivore.

Just as these ingredients give themselves to me,

we gently, peacefully, became one.

Become even more beautiful.

Become even more beautiful, memories of mine.

Never forget how Tem tasted.

We're best friends.

Let the moment I spent with Tem that night

remain vivid in my mind.

I'll accept everything about you, Riz.

Food is the joy of life.

Tem, when you entered my mouth,

you were smiling, weren't you?

You're the one who ate Tem, aren't you?

I'll continue to prevent devourings for as long as I live!

I'll crush you for Tem's sake!

He'll expose me.

He'll defile it all.

My friendship with Tem... My youth...

I have to silence them.

That annoying sheep and deviant wolf.

I can't believe it.

I only just met Louis again,

and I should be busy figuring out how to deal with Riz right now.

Yet last night, I...

I had a dirty dream about Haru.

I'm just filled with lust!

It wasn't even the first time.

And I feel like it's a new scenario every time.

And it's so graphic.

I'm a furball of lust!

Why?!

Where in my brain is it coming from?

This texture that's nowhere to be found on my body...

This softness...

Hey!

Huh?

Stop feeling up my hand, Legosi.

The real thing!

Real thing?

Wh-What are you doing in a second-year classroom?

I felt like it.

Class is over, right?

I wanted a look at your face

and a chance to talk to you properly.

Are you free after this?

Yeah.

L-Let's go somewhere quieter?

Yeah.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

It's like Legosi's made an oath to himself.

He's so kind.

Haru, are you having fun in class?

I don't know. As much as the next person?

He's younger than me,

but sometimes he'll act like a father. It's so weird.

Meanwhile, Louis would behave like a spoiled child.

Despite how insecure he was, he'd act tough.

He'd be mean,

but he always seemed so lonely.

Great weather today, huh?

Legosi.

I love you.

Huh?

I love you so much.

Huh? What? Really? Are you serious?

Yeah.

That's the first time she's told me that straight-out.

Th-Thank you.

You're so strong, kind, big, and reliable.

You know...

The more I fall in love with you,

the more I worry about Louis.

Ah!

Th-That didn't come out right.

It's not like that!

It's not that I still have feelings for him!

Legosi, listen to me!

We don't have that kind of relationship anymore!

They're not romantic feelings!

But I'm still worried.

He won't respond to texts or pick up his phone.

It means completely different things when herbivores and carnivores become unreachable.

I just can't help but think that he's gotten himself into trouble.

Dummy...

I hate this...

I-I want to... hug her back...

In the dream I was embracing you with all my strength,

as I was having my way with...

Haru.

You're so tiny.

The size of her body is the cornerstone of my life.

What's that supposed to mean?

Ever since the day I attacked you,

I've spent my time confronting the difference in size between us.

Haru.

I won't let a single person be unhappy.

Legosi?

I'll do everything I can.

What are you saying?

You silly wolf.

I'll embrace you once I've solved everything!

Your horns smell nice today.

I used a wax made with honey.

It makes them shine.

Oh?

I really like it.

You're in the drama club, right?

Is it fun?

I'm stuck with a really big role in the New Year's performance.

Will you come watch?

Yeah, I will! What kind of role is it?

I'm playing a pretty-boy who gets his soul taken by a reaper.

I die at the end.

You die?

Yup. I die.

Riona...

Would you be sad if I died for real?

I might just laugh, actually.

Who the hell is this Riona, then?!

Ow!

Who'd show up to a funeral for a guy who can't even keep girls' names straight?

I did it again.

It's terrifying how girls try to kill you with words.

Get a grip, Pina.

You've been off your game lately.

Though I have to say, a role where I die beautifully in the end

is just perfect for me right now.

I'm looking forward to the rehearsal today, Pina.

You scared me there.

I guess even devourers use the bathroom.

Just kidding.

Of course they do.

Could you tell Legosi to stop involving himself with me?

Why?

If you two just leave me alone,

I can live quietly together with my memories of Tem.

But if you're going to defile my and Tem's friendship,

I might have to silence Legosi

and then eat you next.

In big gulps, starting with the head.

I don't think that's a very good idea.

These horns would clearly get in the way, and I don't think they'd taste very—

N-No...

I smelled honey on your finger and couldn't help myself.

Sorry about that.

See you.

My finger's... still there...

Thank goodness...

Look at me, floored with relief in a school bathroom.
