I started reading Beastars quite a while ago and after taking a break, finally finished it today. Beastars is one of my current favourite manga (although there are many) so it's easy to guess that I am completely in love with everything about it.
At first I hesitated reading it since im not really a fan of animal storys. But in the end my curiosity was stronger and I gave in – thankfully. I dont think I ever read something as unique and interesting as this manga.
The art is improving a lot over time, but in the end it's so breathtaking that I found myself staring at the panels a lot while reading. Maybe it's because I'm also an artist but I can't help but feel completely in awe when looking at these awesome drawings. For me it's VERY hard to draw animals, so reading 196 chapters full of different and uniquely designed animals was nothing less than spectacular.
The story itself was also amazing. Thanks to extremely well written and capturing characters, heartstopping action scenes and emotional cliffhangers, I couldn't stop reading when I finally picked it up again.
The romance aspects of the story are especially worth mentionng, since I often struggle with pure romantic stories. However in the case of Beastars, it didn't even cross my mind not to ship and root for the characters.
I'm not too sure if this is actually related, but recently I feel like I really enjoy manga written by women (Beastars, Jujutsu Kaisen, and more) and I noticed that I really dislike female characters which are just sort of written as an accessoire for another male character. This is not at all the case with beastars either.
My personal ratings:
Art: 10/10
Story: 9/10
Characters: 10/10
Enjoyment: 10/10
I can really recommend this manga to anyone who likes dramatic romances with a happy end but I'm sure anyone else could enjoy this story aswell if they are open for something different.
