Love can come in all shapes and sizes, and no series helps exemplify that more than Paru Itagaki's BEASTARS. Released in 2016, in the pages of Akita Shoten's Weekly Shonen Champion magazine, the series tells the story of a school that is separated by hunters and prey. When a herbivore is killed, the prime suspect may be the most innocent of them all. From there, an unlikely relationship blossoms.
Since its release, the manga has been a huge hit, releasing 20 volumes, so far, the manga has had a pretty consistent run in its four-year tenure. Following the success of the comic, an anime was also released last fall and adapted the story of the manga.
Recently, following the release of the combined issue of Weekly Shonen Champion, the most recent chapter announced that the series was "right before its climax." While no official date for the last chapter has been announced, it's essential to get ready for a conclusion!
