Chapter 196 (Beastars)

The Story of a Wolf and a Rabbit (オオカミとウサギの話) is Chapter 196 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
Haru asks Legoshi to accept her marriage proposal. Legoshi begins to think about the atmosphere, as he always feels good when he is around Haru; even if she gets angry with him or cries, and his tail will not stop wagging as a result. He has never heard about a married couple that works so oddly, because they are a wolf and a rabbit, a male and a female. He warns that they may not be able to understand each other on some occasions, but still he wants them to experience life together as different species and counter proposes in a very roundabout way. Haru's heart begins to beat faster than normal out of love and joy, but when she thinks about him and the type of relationship they will have, she is sure that they will have to give it their all, and decides to continue their relationship. Haru pounces on him, sparking interest in the people around them. The police, seeing the commotion and mistaking Legoshi for a berserk carnivore, asks Legoshi what he is doing to the rabbit. Haru replies that they are dating.

Gohin is smoking a cigarette, but is immediately scolded by a nurse, exclaiming that he is no longer in the Black Market. The boys in Room 701 are cleaning their room due to graduating soon from Cherryton Academy, and are planning on meeting with Legoshi and go to B-Strike together. Pina says that he is going to miss Bill and the other senpai when they graduate, but Bill sees through this and exclaims that he will not fall for his lies. Yahya, now retired as Beastar, continues to protect the city from criminals as a vigilante. It is revealed that Legoshi donated some of the money he got from catching Melon to Beast Apartments so it could be renovated. The Shishigumi continue to serve their sentence in jail, which has been extended by 5 years. They rejoice at the successes Louis is obtaining. Louis praises himself for his appearance with glasses on, but is not yet at that stage to use them. When he sees his wife, Azuki, he invites her to go out to the museum to spend time together as a married couple. Azuki notes that such an action doesn't benefit the company, but she accepts.
