At this high school, instead of jocks and nerds, the students are divided into predators and prey.

At a high school where the students are literally divided into predators and prey, friendships maintain the fragile peace. Who among them will become a Beastar—a hero destined to lead in a society naturally rife with mistrust?

The Council of Living Beings is changing the criteria for Cherryton Academy’s next Beastar. When gray wolf Juno tries to convince red deer Louis, the prime candidate for the honor, to return to school, their relationship takes an unexpected turn. Meanwhile, gray wolf Legoshi’s relationship with dwarf rabbit Haru is shifting too. Will they grow closer or further apart? Then, Legoshi is blindsided by a huge, mysterious assailant! What new skills will he need to learn to protect himself, let alone his friends...?
