everything i hear about beastars confuses me further tbh
a LOT happens tbh. it starts out with someone investigating the murder of his classmate, but because said classmate is an alpaca, it’s assumed he was killed for his meat, so we need to show the black market so that everyone knows why predators still want to eat meat & how terrible it is, and THEN you need personal stakes and stuff so one character (a deer) becomes the leader of an underground meat selling organization despite the fact that he was almost eaten as a child, while the wolf main character helps a panda try and cure him of any & all desire of eating meat
and then a bunch of stuff happens and the wolf drops out of school and now he’s working with a horse who’s the chief of police who’s looking for a cheetah/gazelle hybrid serial killer which is relevant because the wolf is actual part komodo dragon (or some kind of lizard. he’s immune to the poison), which he inherited from his grandfather & has several feelings about how the fact his mom had him mainly so that she could “gift” the world a “pure” wolf to make up for her own flaws (aka, looking like a hybrid). also, racism
