Beastars
Even though he looks like a big bad wolf, Legosi is just a drama club stagehand trying to figure out his lot in life like everyone else in Beastars. When a classmate is murdered, though, all of society is turned upside-down at the school, as carnivores and herbivores clash out of fear, leaving it up to Legoshi to figure out what is happening.
What follows is a story of intrigue and mystery, as Legosi breaks out of his shell to further the investigation. His inquiry leads to plenty of interesting interactions and dynamics, as he explores relationships with people he usually wouldn’t talk to to find out the truth.
Despite being about anthropomorphic animals, Beastars is surprisingly relatable. Its characters go through similar struggles to what many experience in the real world, as they deal with issues like class divide, crisis of identity, and social stigmas.
It’s that relatability that keeps viewers drawn into the story for the long haul. The whole murder mystery angle that it has going on is also an excellent carrot on a stick to keep people invested in the characters and outcome.
