Paru Itakagi wrote and illustrated the BEASTARS manga, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion from 2016 to 2020. It ended a total of 196 chapters compiled into 22 volumes.
Viz Media licensed the BEASTARS manga in English, and they describe the story:
One night at Cherryton Academy, an herbivore student is brutally murdered. Among the members of the Drama Club, the herbivores’ suspicions naturally turn to their carnivore classmates… The prime suspect? Wolf Legoshi. But he wouldn’t hurt a fly. Or would he? Will dwarf rabbit Haru bring out the beast in him? Or are his feelings for her…something else?
Another one of Paru Itakagi’s works, SANDA, has an upcoming anime adaptation.
