Chapter 001 (Beastars)

Introduction upon the Full Moon (満月なのでご紹介します) is Chapter 1 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
Tem, a student, is injured and fleeing from an unknown assailant who went wild at Cherryton High School. He hides in a reading room where he is quickly found and devoured.

The next day, a group of students witness the formation of the crime scene and other students are informed of Tem's murder. They are asked to hand out a manual for a gray wolf named Legoshi, who watches the scene in the distance.

In the drama club, the members are reunited, and they are discussing the murder to form great tension between carnivores and herbivores. It begins to escalate until they are interrupted by a blackout caused by Legoshi who turns on the lights seconds later and speaks of Tem's possible regrets asking Els directly if she was sad about Tem's death.

Later, in the women's dressing room, Els questions Legoshi's intentions with other club members and suspects that it may be his goal. At the same time in the men's dressing room, Legoshi is checking out Tem's locker which is seen by the other club members, to which Legoshi leaves the room. In the hallway Legoshi observes the full moon and sets out to remove Tem's regrets.

In the school courtyard, Els is accompanied by a companion who comforts her, and they separate. On the way to her room Els finds out that she forgot her wristwatch in the drama club. In the club, Els looks for her watch until it is illuminated with a focus by Legoshi who was waiting for her. Scared Els takes scissors in an attempt to defend herself from Legoshi, who only approaches and pushes away her scissors very easily and takes her arms. A love letter that belonged to Tem falls from Legoshi's pocket, which Els discovers. Legoshi gives her the letter and tells her about Tem's feelings. Shortly after, Els thanks him and apologizes for the things she said about him and promises to retract with the other girls in the club, which Legoshi denies as he prefers to keep their meeting as a secret and leaves.
