I'm gonna be the killkoy here...

I'm so disappointed with this story.

I liked Haru, but she just stopped being relevant to the story and she disappeared. Ofc she'll come back before the end, but what's the point?
I thought Juno was an interesting character too, but at the end her sole purpose is to be Louis girlfriend. I don't even think their relationship was well developed. I'll just call her Hinata 2 from now on.
And then Kyuu. Yeah, she's super cute and cool, but we didn't need another rabbit waifu. Even less when she's almost useless to the story too.

I'm kinda mad because of the treatment of the female characters. They're cool and all, but compared to the male characters (Legosi, Louis, Yahya, Gosha, Gouhin, Melon...) they're absolutely pointless.

That's why I don't like romance in those kinds of mangas: most of the time, the females are just here to be the waifus/girlfriends. I really thought Beastars would be different, especially when you know that the author is a woman.

Otherwise I love this manga. The Legosi/Louis friendship is awesome and very well built (unlike the romantic relationships), the themes were interesting, the world was realistic, the characters are great... But it has big flaws imo, and the ending is way too easy.

Everyone is alive, everyone will be happy and in love, and the black market is closed. Hooray.

    The woman are there but they are not involved. That's the problem with a lot of Mangas, animes and Media in general. Unfortunately
    Doesn't make a good Manga bad but, yeah, it's really frustrating

    I'm mostly mad about Haru! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ where is she?? She had this whole growing arc with Melon and I thought he'd bring it up or she would but nope! To either have Melon pressure Legosi or for Haru to have the same resolve as Legosi to help a mixed child cuz she wants children with him someday too. Something to mirror Legosi's resolve with Melon. Even when all that shit went down on tv about back alley market. They threw Kyuu in but what about Haru?? Shes not gonna use that resolve of not being scared for her herbivore life a anymore like she talked about with Louis to go there and see Legosi?? Wasted. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

    Arcs happen all the time where some characters aren't seen for a while. She's not gone forever, damn. This story is about legosi, of course it's going to follow what he's doing, and it so happens that he's not seen haru in a while. We've already gone through multiple arcs where haru or juno are the focus. To be totally honest if the author kept making arcs about haru or juno and their relationships with legosi and louis without these other arcs between, I'd be really bored. Look at the bigger picture

    Lol who says we arent?? We dont need a full on Haru or Juno side plot but for them to merge and be important to the overall flow. Haru just dropped off at an important moment and the first person we see Legosi with after that is Zaguan. They couldve at least shown her calling Louis to know what's up etc. Also tbh when I say arc with Melon, its cuz of that whole interaction they had, she talked about it with Louis and it went nowhere. Just cuz I want more of her doesnt mean I want it all about her. We get Legosi focused chapters with Louis thrown in or others I'd like to see Haru in a few. I shall see what happens to close things.

    Ikr i was expecting haru to get her character development like Legosi and Louis , especially when the author introduce her to melon... Oh well let's just hope that in the remaining chapters we at the very least get a decent ending between her and legosi

    Exactly... halfway through I suspected this manga was written by a woman for real..?

    I totally and completely agree with this. I love Haru and I'm very sad she suddenly disappeared. And I was hoping for more development to the Juno/Louis relationship but it never came and now it has ended before it even started. I'm sad the author leaned so much into the action part of the manga and totally forgot about other aspects :(
