How Many Volumes Of Beastars Are There

Okay, let's talk Beastars. Great anime, right? Furry high school drama with a side of existential dread? Sign me up!

But the question we’re tackling today isn't about the plot. It’s about the sheer size of it all.

The Official Count: A Lot

So, how many volumes are there officially? The answer? A whopping 22 volumes. That’s… a commitment.

Twenty-two volumes of Legoshi angst and Haru's... Haru-ness. Are you ready for the ride?

Is It Too Many? (My Unpopular Opinion)

Here's where I might ruffle some feathers. 22 volumes might be... overkill.

Hear me out! I love the characters. I truly do. But did the story really need that much space to breathe?

I feel like some plot threads could have been trimmed. Some side characters... well, they could have stayed on the side.

"Brevity is the soul of wit," someone very smart once said. Maybe Beastars could have used a little more wit, a little less length?

Don't get me wrong! There are amazing moments throughout. The world-building is fantastic.

The complex relationships are what make Beastars special.

Remember That One Arc...?

Okay, let's be real. Remember that arc with the melon character? Yeah... that arc.

It just felt a little drawn out, didn’t it? So many twists and turns it made my head spin!

I found myself checking how many volumes were left. Just me?

Quality vs. Quantity

Ultimately, it boils down to this: is more always better? Sometimes, absolutely!

Other times, a tighter, more focused narrative can be even more impactful.

Think of it like this: a perfectly cooked steak versus an all-you-can-eat buffet. Both can be satisfying, but in different ways.

Beastars is like a sprawling, delicious buffet. It had every single thing you could possibly want. And then more!

The Commitment Factor

Let's be honest, diving into a 22-volume series requires dedication. Time. Money. Shelf space!

For some, that's no problem. For others, it's a daunting task.

Imagine explaining to your partner that you are collecting 22 manga volume. About furries.

So, Is It Worth It?

Despite my (slightly) critical takes, I still think Beastars is worth a read (or watch!).

The unique world, the compelling characters, and the thought-provoking themes make it stand out.

Just be prepared for the long haul. Pack a lunch. Maybe two.

And maybe, just maybe, skip ahead a little during the melon arc. I won't tell.

In conclusion, 22 volumes is the official number. But the ideal number? Well, that’s up for debate. And, if you ask me, it could have been a little shorter!

What do you think? Am I crazy? Let me know!
