The latest chapter 194, ties up one of the loose ends: the possible relationship between Louis and Juno.
The chapter begins with Juno asking Louis to kiss her as he had on graduation day. Meanwhile, Louis is in deep thought as he thinks about his inevitable future with Azuki.
Most fans hoped that the two would end up together, but Itagaki had a different idea in mind.
The current chapter ended with Louis deciding that he must choose the best path for his family business, Horns Conglomerate, by marrying Azuki. He tells Juno that he can’t be with her because life is not a movie, and you cannot have everything.
The Beastars manga series also received an anime adaptation with the same name in 2019 as a 12-episode show by animation studio Orange. The second season of the anime series is scheduled for January 2021.
