Goodreads Synopsis:
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, it’s personal relationships that maintain the fragile peace. Who among them is a Beastar—an academic and social role model destined to become a leader in a society naturally rife with mistrust?
It’s time for the Festival of the Meteor, a time when the animals honor their extinct dinosaur ancestors. Wolf Legoshi is still inexorably attracted to dwarf rabbit Haru. Is it a crush or bloodlust? Is it her or any small animal? Relationships are complicated for carnivores. Their bird friends lay and sell the eggs they eat, and some desperate herbivores even sell their body parts on the black market. Tiger Bill is tempted to buy a piece and invites Legoshi to indulge with him. But eating meat is highly addictive...

Review:
Not only do we learn about the upcoming festival celebrating their
dinosaur ancestors, but we also discover that their city has a scary
black market.
Legoshi is still struggling with his possibly romantic feelings mixed
with his predatory desire to eat Haru, just as the drama club gets to
go into town to work on the props for the festival. This leads to a
mishap upon them discovering the black market in person, where some
truly terrible things happen, and we meet a scarred panda.
This volume took a drastically dark turn that surprised me. It made
me realize that I'm really not sure where this series is going just
yet. I feel like we're still just touching the surface of where this
story might be taking us.
I'm intrigued by the relationships and characters we've met, and the
new ones in this volume. Even Legoshi is starting to discover that he
actually does have friends who will stick by him, and agree with him, despite all the ones who won't, or just don't know him.
This volume was a lot, and I'm curious where it'll lead next.
