BEASTARS, Vol.8

Beastars Vol. 8 By Paru Itagaki

Beastars vol. 8 by Paru Itagaki deepens the tension and moral complexity of this acclaimed manga series where predators and prey struggle with identity, power and survival. This 208 page paperback edition, rated for older teens, is a must read for manga enthusiasts, graphic novel collectors and readers who enjoy dramatic, character driven stories with psychological depth.

In this volume grey wolf Legoshi begins training with the powerful giant panda Gohin to strengthen himself and protect his friends. However, his path to growth leads to an ethical dilemma when he is told that eating meat is the only way to gain true power. At the same time herbivorous red deer Louis, now the leader of the ruthless Shishi-gumi lion gang, forces himself to eat flesh in order to maintain control and respect among his followers. When Louis crosses paths with Legoshi carrying a bag of meat, their fragile trust fractures, adding to the tension between them.

As Legoshi’s training continues he grows stronger in some ways but weaker in others, with his declining grades and Haru’s frustration adding to his burdens. Beastars vol. 8 delivers a gripping combination of moral conflict, shifting relationships and social allegory that makes it an essential instalment for manga readers and collectors of Japanese graphic novels.
