The species leaders at the conference decide that whichever student can identify the murder (no, it’s still not solved) will be proclaimed next Beastar of the school. They want Legoshi to do it. He’s hesitant of course (I’m liking his character more and more- this nice decent guy forced to show his aggressive side). And now it starts getting weird ~~ SPOILERS ~~ Legoshi thinks he’s been hearing a ghost, but meets a giant rattlesnake (that looks and acts a lot more like a python IMHO). Who is the school’s only security guard, but keeps himself hidden. I have a lot of questions about that, but moving on- He has been admiring Legoshi for a long time, and now pressures him to solve the murder mystery. Meanwhile, in the black market’s hidden enclaves, the red deer is still holding his new position with the lions, but starting to suffer poor health from making himself follow an unnatural diet in front of them (I suppose to prove his strength). One of them tries to sneak him vegetables. Then Juno tracks Louis down in the seedy part of town. She confronts him and they argue- really clashing because they’re so much alike. In ambition. I think they’d make a great pair! A new character (male Dall sheep) shows up in the drama club, stirring up trouble with all kinds of snarky, very pointed and almost flirtatious comments. Legoshi questions his carnivore friends about murder suspects, while they’re all angling to find out if he actually “did it” with the rabbit. Legoshi still struggles with his feelings for her- are they more predatory or romantic? and decides to keep his distance for now, vowing to focus on protecting her (and the other herbivore students). He gets attacked and beat up by an unseen, very strong assailant. Jack comes running to help him, and realizes from what he sees that Legoshi is becoming a different wolf as he gets stronger, changed by the touch of violence.

Okay, I remember the snake character, so I checked to see how the anime and manga lined up. Apparently season 2 ends on Vol. 11, 12 will start season 3 whenever that comes out. I’m glad I’m not crazy remembering these bits and pieces! I guess I watched both seasons (though I thought I hadn’t liked it enough to continue…).
Now you have me wondering if I should try the anime!
I watch almost no anime, so it took me some time to get into it. I think I liked season 1 but had to force myself to finish 2? It’s been a long while though.
