Beast Complex Volume 01

Six short stories that set the scene for the best-selling BEASTARS series!

A camel journalist who passed judgment on carnivores for years spends a life-changing night with a seductive wolf.

A fox and a chameleon wrestle with stereotypes about each other—and themselves. And much more…
