I know it's a very minor scene, but I liked how that squirrel couldn't crack her nuts, and everybody was like, aren't squirrels supposed to do that at daily basis, very easily? It's like with us humans, when you come from the family that, for example, is managing a bakery, everyone is assuming you are good at that too. But you are not. Someone who doesn't have to do anything with it can be much better at baking or managing its business than you. I don't know. I just like these little scenes like that. Like everything is so human-like. Like when you are scared or sad and all your friends are cheering you up, but actually they are even more worried than you, like that scene with Els and her friends. I like how her friend can't help but think about similarities between her and the victim, poor alpaca Tem... But not daring to tell Els, because she'll panic (obviously). Mangaka does so great job at humanizing them.
And Legosi is perhaps one of the scariest characters, but also most compassionate. He'd rather be considered as potential suspect of murder case than everyone knowing Tem's secret crush for Els until his death.. That's true friend.
And all those canines are so adorable! ❤

Didn't expect a murder right off the bat. I'm getting Zootopia vibes on this one with the whole looking down on carnivores thing

I started the anime today so I decided I would start the manga too, and wow this chapter is a lot different.

I feel like Legoshi is a lot more menacing in the manga. How he's drawn and stuff.
