This volume is within my top favourites so far. The 👏🏼 character 👏🏼 development 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 getting 👏🏼 somewhere 👏🏼
Finally we have something that isn’t a whole volume about Legoshi pining after Haru, and he !finally! realised that his affections for her will go no where if he continues doing what he’s been doing.
I loved Louis in the chapter, I LOVED JUNO (wow she’s growing on me and I have no problem with that at all), I loved all the new characters, I loved the conversation between Jack and Legoshi, I loved the climax - honestly it was all great. I’m so excited for the next volume!

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 . . . ?

Can we talk about how this is written and drawn with the female gaze? Paru Itagaki is queen of creating embarrassing moments, adorable moments, moments full of TENSION.. and in this volume I straight-up stopped to draw certain panels, they were so beautiful.
Paru sensei is the reason it's okay that we went on the wrong timeline several years back. We're on the one with BEASTARS. I haven't read that many manga but I think I may be spoiling myself with a high standard for manga.

Un nuevo tomo de Beastars siempre es una buena noticia. Aunque estemos ahora en medio de un momento más transicional, es una delicia la locura de mundo dicotómico que ha planteado Itagaki sensei y sus matices filosóficos sobre la vida. La séptima entrega nos sitúa con un Legoshi en plena evolución. Admite su derrota por el corazón de Hal y se dispone hacerse más fuerte para solo protegerla y que pueda ser feliz. Por otra parte, Rouis dirige los Shisigumi con mano de hierro, sometiendo el mercado negro bajo su cornamenta. Y a la vez en la escuela Cherrytown, se celebra la reunión de evaluación de todos los animales para decidir un nuevo Beastars tras cinco años sin ninguno.
Si hay una cosa que me ha gustado del séptimo tomo es como por fin han recuperado la trama que abre la historia de Beastars. El asesinato de Tem la alpaca vuelve a ser importante en el transcurso de los sucesos, sobre todo en el caso de Legoshi. Volvemos en Beastars a tener esos toques de misterio tenebroso que rodean este cruel mundo de la escuela CherryTown. Además, contamos con la leve introducción de un nuevo personaje, el cual en pocas páginas nos deja claro que no será alguien anecdótico. Andaos con ojo Rouis y Legoshi, que os quitan el puesto de favoritos.

Real rating: 4.5⭐︎
As if things were not already wild enough, relationships are getting complicated.
Legoshi continues to try figure out who he is and what he's meant to do. It seems everyone has expectations and tasks they want to burden him with, adding to his angst about his feelings for Haru and how he wants to proceed with that—and in true teenage boy fashion, all of his carnivore drama club crew are being pervs and giving him a hard time about her and asking inappropriate questions. Does he want to put her on a pedestal and worship her? Does he want something more? But they're so different.... There's some breathtaking and beautiful tension in the scenes with Haru and Legoshi. Itagaki's raw, loose style works so well with communicating emotions.
Louis struggles with leading the gang and putting on a strong front, and we get a look into black market politics. When Juno comes to try and convince him to return to Cherryton to restore order to how things were, it gets...interesting.
And now to wait for the next volume to be released.

This felt like a bridging episode where not that much happens, btu several new characters and potential plot directions are introduced, and we're reminded that no one seems to have ever investigate the murder from book 1, what's going on with that?

As talk of who will be the next Beastar after Louis’ shocking departure, Legoshi begins to feel that someone is following him and he laters meet Six Eyes, a giant rattlesnake 🐍 who is the school’s security guard. He talks to Legoshi about the murder months ago, and showing interest about it he agrees to find possible suspects. For Louis, he continues to feel inferior as he becomes the new leader of the Shishi-Gumi cat gang. Later as Legoshi tries to find suspects and a new member of the drama club makes his introduction 🐑, he’s severely attacked by a shadowy figure who could be the killer and it leaves him making a tough decision and finding assistance to unlock his beastly power. A (100%/Outstanding)

Really liking the character development for Legoshi. Not really sure about Louis' storyline though...
CW for series overall: violence, some gore, assault, trauma, sexual assault

Love how we get to see some of the politcal sides of this world as well as we learn that Shisigumi is not the only criminal group out their. We also get to see some good signs of loyalty with Louis and his new group. But what is kind of weird is that just now we are finally getting back onto the whole murder mystery plot that the story started which seems kind of weird and it is kind of weird how they make Tem's murder so important this late into the story.

August 3, 2020This volume was amazing! I was hoping we would finally find Tem's killer but we found a few clues.
The scene with Louis and Juno was really well done.
I felt horrible for Legoshi, not only because of his decision with Haru but also the attack.
I need the next volume. Do we find out who the killer is then? I've been anxious reading to see if that's the volume we find out. So far, nothing. Maybe next volume.

Avrei apprezzato qualche indizio in più su tutti i carnivori del club ora che sono tutti sospettati. Solo alcuni parlano, altri rimangono di sfondo come fossero comparse. Avendo visto l’anime so chi è il colpevole e continuo a pensare che avrebbe dovuto esserci più coinvolgimento di un maggior numero di personaggi.
Resta comunque tutto bellissimo come sempre. L’introspezione di Legoshi è fatta benissimo, le sue reazioni, che spesso e volentieri sono esilaranti, sono studiate a fondo.

This continues to be a very enjoyable character driven story with a very clean and clear hero's journey. In this world of carnivores and herbivores there is interspecies conflict and different views of how to co-exist in their mixed society. This volume features Legoshi getting ready to own his primal instincts so he can ultimately become a powerful protector for herbivores and unite the species. He is being tested and called to solve the alpaca murder that happened in #1. We meet new species and monsters this episode, and each one ends on a fun cliffhanger.

Czas na filozoficzne ecie pecie które zawsze są w mangach i anime, bohaterowie mają jakieś niezrozumiałe motywy działania, no i dużo rzeczy się dzieje ogólnie, ale trochę wolno ta akcja się rozwija. Więc czekam na kolejną część.
No ale nowa postać męska>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Warnings: grievous injury, assault
With this book, we are diving back into what started this series - Tem's murder. As the secret council of creatures pressures the Cherryton Academy headmaster to pick a Beastar already, Loius, the main contender has been living with the Shishigumi and we get to see a bit more of what they are doing, and what is going on with Louis. Legosi has been settling back into regular life, but when he is approached by a fan (ahem) to look into Tem's murder, he is pulled into the simmering dispute between herbivores and carnivores in the school. More importantly, it is made known to us, as readers, that the murderer is quite possibly someone in the drama club, and who Legosi is friendly with. (I have my doubts on Bill, btw) Legosi is also reassessing his relationship with Haru, after he gets teased by his carnivore club members of being a perv who like small herbivores, and he comes to a decision regarding what he wants and what is possible; although, their last scene puts forth more questions! Legosi's investigation into the murder could have been more subtle, as evidenced by what happens when he starts digging.
The theme of strength is played off the many characters of this series quite well - is strength just the power of a carnivore, is it the refusal to live powerlessly, is it adapting to what society is, is it looking at the truth and finding your place in it, or is the power to change things. A world in which one set of creatures are food for others, and the other set has a flimsy lid on their instincts, what is right - this is a question that Louis and Legosi are grappling with, but also is seen in the character arcs of Haru, Juno and hell, even Ibuki. I'm loving the forays into how the nature of their world affects these characters that Itagaki is doing so well, and also how much character-driven this is.

Beastars 7
4/5 stars
While there was a lot I ended up liking about this one, it took about halfway through this volume to really feel it take off and feel myself getting invested. Until then I was just slow.
What was happening between Juno and Louis was super compelling and I’m excited to see where we go forward with it.
Pina is such a fucking cutie and I’m down to see more of him. He feels like a character from a dating sim game.
We didn’t get much this book of Legoshi pining but I did like the glimpse we did get.
Idk how to feel about the security guard snake.
What the hell was that ending with my boy getting attacked!? Are we getting closer to finding the murderer? Also the scene with Jack finding his body broke my heart.
Overall:
Slightly weaker of all the volumes which is mildly concerning but I still love this series and I’m excited to continue on.
