Chapter 010 (Beastars)

Privacy Offstage (プライバシーは舞台裏に) is Chapter 10 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
One day at school, a group of students is getting excited about the school play, looking forward to seeing Louis perform.

In a school auditorium, the drama club, headed by Louis, is presented to receive an award of honor, by the headmaster himself. Louis took the microphone and delivers a few words to the public, declaring that he will show "coexistence and prosperity" in the performance of the play and invites the public to witness the play.

Later, at the drama club, Kai shows his disgust at Louis's words to Legoshi, showing that he continues to have grudges for being removed from the acting team, although he quickly overcomes it, mentioning that being a stagehand is more fun than he thought. Noticing that Legoshi remains thoughtful while adjusting a spotlight, Kai directly asks Legoshi questions trying to find out Legoshi's reason for not wanting to stand out. Legoshi staying neutral answers his questions. Kai asks him if he felt nervous when he was recruited and reveals that all the other members of the club were also recruited for having some special or secret condition (which Legoshi did not know). Kai proceeds to count the conditions for which some members were recruited, including himself, and then asks if Legoshi has a secret. Legoshi proceeds to turn off the lights and tells him "it could be", then turns the lights back on, which makes Kai bothered by the joke. Suddenly Legoshi thinks that even Louis might have a secret.
