Dani ❤️ Perspective of a Writer > Recent Status Updates

I think it’s fascinating how the mangaka uses other MMA fighters to teach us about the world and effect the major secondary characters. It’s quite fascinating. I totally didn’t get the point of Oliver visiting with Levius though the history he shared was compelling.

11 - Bart who the gym and Zach are promoting wins in the last round. Zach explains that other gyms wouldn’t let him advance saying he’s limited so he’d decided to die in the ring. AJ too will die from reliving her memories but she understands MMA fighters passion so is there. We find out on the last page AJ’s brother advanced too!

10 - I’m not sure what purpose Oliver had, but he wants Levius to stop making an embarrassing spectacle of himself like his parents? Turns out Oliver is the one who rescued L. L attacks Oliver and O takes him out but says let’s finish in the ring. But it sounds like O plans on killing him. Weird.

9 - Oliver has some magnificent history with L’s father. He takes him to his body, he died in religious ruins being a non-religious man who ascribed to be est or a god, his last words to Oliver were... Levius become est, becomes the ultimate god.

8 - Oliver wants to meet him but he must go alone. A lot of pages are devoted to traveling to him, out in the middle of the jungle. There Oliver mentions a thrush which eats dead and dying human flesh. Then he mentions a Daniel, Levius’ father...

7 - Natalia begs Levius not to fight. But when Zach tells h8m who it is he just smiles like he’s delighted.

This was a really empty chapter.

Oliver won at 13 and has reigned as a The Emperor for 58 years. Needless to say they expect Levius to go down epically.

6 - Natalia fights and wins unconscious. But her gym owner says she’ll never make it in rank II, she’d die. But she can make them money selling her merchandise. Levius is announced to fight rank I winner Oliver Kingsley.

This is so fascinating. The depth to each character is really so compelling.

34 - Legoshi hides when he sees Louis visiting the shrine of the dead student from vol 1. And he’s able to stop a carnivore from attacking Louis and uncovers a plot to keep him from becoming beastar. L realizes he needs to protect Louis and so has to deal with his feelings for Haru by... confessing. She freaks so he says to meet him at the festival. And she gets kidnapped!

33 - we learn Louis was adopted by his powerful infertile father at 5 from the black market. He was set to be eaten but because he was a red deer with pride he lived instead. His father put him in a waiting room with predators he had to fight with a knife. When he went to kill himself rather be eaten his new dad saved him, he passed the test.

32 - Louis tells Juno he’ll stop her from becoming beastar and Legoshi won’t be so easy to watch him. So when there’s a blackout she follows him as he looks for Haru, who thinking he’s Louis embraces him. Juno is shocked...

31 - Juno shows her true colors... Louis learns she’s worked hard to gain the herbivore drama club animals approval. Later when they’re alone she assaults him and declares war, saying she’s going to be the next beastar and win Legoshi. Pretty sexualized positioning here.

30 - Legoshi and Haru get away and she tells him she’s glad she survived an attack earlier (from him!) so she could meet him. He realizes he can’t tell her that was him. Louis is attacked by the tiger actor. He pulls a gun when the tiger tries to blackmail him about his past. He’s not taking any crap from predators, I admire that.

29 - Legoshi steaks until it’s the day before the festival. Everyone goes home early but he waits for Haru. They walk to the train where she feels he lectures her about respecting herself. She tries to leave and he stops her so bystanders think he’s attacking her. She says run, they hide in a toilet. He’s happy because he’s by the girl he loves.

28 - his friend confronts him when he finds a rabbit porno in his bed. Legoshi decides to let his feelings go. Then he sees a Louis approach Haru and he realizes his feelings are deeper than he thought. He crushes tubes of paint in his hand.

27 - Legoshi smells “something” on Louis but can’t place it because his nose is stuffed. Louis tells him to hang out with Juno since they’re the same species. She’s crushing on his hardcore and finds him backstage early. He is fees to rehearse with her. When she says they have a connection he tells her she’ll learn about it in 2nd year biology. Haha

26 - Louis and Haru have a sexual relationship which is graphically shown us in this chapter. They met when he was hiding after shedding his horns. She let him stay in the shed until his prosthetic horns were ready and they became close. She wants his love but he tells her they have to marry within their species to have pure blood children. Legoshi is about to knock when L exits.

Roji is really neat and comes with Shimada, so she has 2 shikigami. It seems like with Shiro’s brother and mother they really only need 3 more. Her parents are so bad... I wish her mom at least would commiserate with her over the shrine. Shiro joins her at school, which is a nice way to stop the bullying for now.

She finds Goro, and the mysterious shikigami her grandpa knew. They’ve made a foolhardy deal with his mom. And fought off gordumos.

121 - we learn Shirogane has liked Kaguya since he first saw her rescue a girl. He’d been enlisted by the student council president at the time.

120 - Kaguya is told the legend of the festival and that gifting a heart to your love during the festival makes it eternal! She agonizes over a way to do it without the heart being apparent. After deciding a a handkerchief with a heart hidden in polka dots she admits to Ai she liked Shirogane!

119 - awww this chapter Kei schools her brother in how to dress cool. Loved it! And his dad gave him a watch that meant a lot to him.

118 - Shirogane can’t do balloon art either! Chika ends up teaching him again even though she made a vow not to.

117 - Chika insists on a student council arm wrestling match. It was funny.

116 - two girls interview different clubs for the festival. Kaguya was one, it was cute.

115 - Onodera returns heading the festival committee which Ino and Ishigami are sent to help on. Ishigami helps push ideas students have that are objected to while Ino figures out a way to have a bonfire. It was cute.

114 - Chika tells Shirogane that he doesn’t see himself objectively so he conducts a poll... Ino and Chika end up insulting him but Kaguya says he’s good just the way he is. Then they fight about how they see th8ngs because no one is really objective.

113 - this was hilarious... he finally asks her out but it was so seemingly spontaneous that she said no! When she realizes she figures out a way to bring it up the next day but other members lower their confidence. Until finally it’s decided Shirogane and Ishigami go together. 😭

112 - this cosplay fashion show for Shirogane was super cute. He took Kaguya by surprise being so confident and forward. Then she stayed him with her maid and cat costume. Haha Ishigami then comes in and slays Kaguya with his comments
