There was a lot in this volume. Many stories to follow. Enjoyable! Some of the light-hearted stuff provides balance for some of the darker and more intense stuff that seems to be coming soon...

And huh, "beastars" is mentioned once again. I often forget the beastar is a thing. I thought it would hold more weight in this series, but I realize it's kind of a bit of an overarching theme rather than a consistent plot line.

My favorite moments:
- Jack returns! Although the relationship between him and Legoshi is already strong, it gets better! Legoshi howls at the moon for him!!! so sweet
- Pina makes an appearance and he is as beautiful as ever. Why's he always drawn so good? Literally, I love the full page when Legoshi initially sees him again...
- Interaction between Louis and his father. It's awkward and the "we're not blood related" hits hard
- Louis marching through the black market with the sign around him and Legoshi running after him because he wants to talk is super funny
- Man, y'know I'm not a huge fan of Kyu? I understand her place in the story and how she will be related to Legoshi (being a rabbit, and now Legoshi is aware of his rabbit attraction...). I just... hm. I did not like how immediately after she was introduced, the cover page for the following chapter was her in a sexy outfit/pose. Reminds me that this is a shonen series....
