The story
At Cherryton Academy, a diverse cast of anthropomorphic animals, including herbivores and carnivores, attempt to coexist. Legoshi, a large gray wolf, is a member of the school's drama club. Despite his intimidating appearance, he possesses a remarkably gentle nature, a fact that often goes unnoticed by his peers who frequently react to him with fear and distrust. This ingrained perception has long shaped Legoshi's experience within the school.
The narrative unfolds as Legoshi begins to engage more deeply with his fellow students, each grappling with their own insecurities and the inherent tensions between species. The story is driven by the exploration of these relationships, the societal dynamics between different animal types, and Legoshi's personal journey of self-discovery and navigating the prejudices he faces. The series delves into themes of coming-of-age, the complexities of animal nature, and the psychological impact of living in a world where predatory instincts, even cannibalism, are an underlying threat.
