Beastars, Vol. 4

In this volume, the school’s predator-and-prey divide shapes relationships both inside and beyond the Drama Club. Legoshi’s feelings for Haru become more complicated when another club member is also close to her, while someone develops feelings for Legoshi. Bengal tiger Bill’s threat to expose a troubling part of someone’s past adds another source of tension to a community already balancing friendship against suspicion. The volume continues the series’ focus on social divisions and the fragile agreements that hold its students together, with the question of who might become a Beastar—a leader in this mistrustful society—remaining part of the larger picture.
