Description

"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...?"--Provided by publisher.… (more)

Editor: Didn't this used to be a murder mystery?
Author: Oh, crap! I forgot!

Suddenly, we are given a very serious and secret governmental organization that is very concerned about a student at the school being named head boy, or BEASTAR, or somesuch because that animal will surely be the next world

leader. Because that's how that's done, of course. So why not let the students try to solve the murder, and they'll name the best detective the Beastar . . . and maybe king?

Independently, our hero, Legoshi, thinks maybe he should figure out who killed that alpaca from the first volume . . . since he didn't have sex with Haru? Is that how blue balls work? And it would really help to be able to sniff out clues, but gosh darn the pesky cold he just got. Surely that won't play a role in extending the mystery into future volumes, right? And let's not even talk about the deer and the crime syndicate.

Dumb coincidences and outlandish left turns as plot developments are signs of some real bad writing. (And I forgot to mention last volume how a character made a big deal about Legoshi being on a first-name basis with Haru when literally everyone in the series has one-word names, and everyone calls Haru "Haru.")

I have four more volumes out of the library right now, but that would only put me halfway through the complete series. Hmm. It might be time to consider an exit strategy . . . Maybe one more . . . ?
