Legoshi's instinct to hurt is constant, but he chooses gentleness anyway, and the show knows that choice costs him everything. The predator-prey metaphor isn't window dressing; it's the cage around every relationship, every glance, every moment of trust that might shatter. By the end you stop seeing animals and start seeing a kid trying to survive in a world that's decided what he is before he ever gets to decide for himself.

Legoshi is a grey wolf on the drama club's stage crew at Cherryton Academy, a school where herbivores and carnivores live side by side in uneasy peace. His looks have made other animals fear and distrust him all his life, yet he is gentle at heart. When Tem, an alpaca in the drama club, is killed and eaten on campus, suspicion between predators and prey sharpens, and Legoshi keeps his head down, much to the annoyance of Louis, the red deer who is the club's commanding star actor. A chance meeting with Haru, a white dwarf rabbit shunned by her peers, stirs feelings in Legoshi that his predatory instincts complicate, pushing him to face his own nature, the truth behind his friend's death and the violence running beneath his world. The series is a psychological drama with mystery and romance, set against the everyday life of a high school.
