Amazing short stories, all sharing the common theme of a carnivore and a herbivore co-existing in the same society (with a few exceptions) with (if I remember correctly) 2 Beastars spin-offs Paru Itagaki's art drastically improves in the middle of the manga, along with her incredible storytelling skills (can't stress this enough), you'll definitely miss details if you're not deeply observing the visuals Very enjoyable read that made me laugh multiple times, and manga rarely if ever makes me laugh It's great for what it is, all I could ask for are more chapters but I doubt we'll have more any time soon seeing that Sanda is comingout and Beastars is finished Fun-fact: Legosi appears in the first volume as a background character (it was published before Beastars was even written)

Synopsis

A tiger and a beaver who grew up together defy peer pressure to end their friendship and join forces to fight injustice. A camel journalist who passed judgment on carnivores for years spends a life-changing night with a seductive wolf. A crocodile and a gazelle must find a way to work together as chef and assistant on a cooking show with flagging ratings. A fox and a chameleon wrestle with stereotypes about each other—and themselves. And much more... (Source: VIZ Media)

Haven't written a review in a while, so might as well get started with one of my favorite mangas within the last 5 years. (NOTICE: Possible spoilers ahead, I type and don't reread most of the time. So spelling errors and possible spoilers ahead.) Beast Complex by Paru Itagaki is a manga that is both a spin-off (and prequel in some cases?) to Beastars a manga she will go on to make for a few years. Beats Complex follows different characters in every chapter and their story. A few that stick out to me are the movie-star chapter, the chapter with the crocodile and the cow,and the one that follows two people in a subway. There are many more and I really like the one-shot feel to the chapters and end up being satisfied in the end, unlike Beastars around the end of its serialization. Story: 10 The one-shot stories are enjoyable and really work for the week-by-week structure in which it was published. I felt like if this was a constant weekly series this would work well. Art 10 The first 8 to seven chapters art was a bit awkward since Paru was still finding her artsyle. (Basically the same as Beastars early art.) But as It goes on and Paru finding her artstyle, it ends up looking amazing. Overall 9/10
