"BEASTARS" is a story serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion that depicts the lives of anthropomorphized carnivores and herbivores. It depicts friendship and love that transcends species, and the irreconcilable conflicts that arise give it a somewhat human feel. In this article, we'll focus on Haru, the heroine of "BEASTARS," and take a closer look at her character. How she interacts with the main character, Legoshi, and how she interacts with the other characters are all intriguing, so be sure to check it out until the end.
What kind of character is Haru, the heroine of "BEASTARS"?
The heroine of "BEASTARS" is a dwarf rabbit named Haru. Born on October 19th, she is 18 years old and a third-year student in the gardening club at Cherryton Academy High School. While "BEASTARS" features many members of the drama club, Haru's existence can be considered unique. Haru's personality and relationships with other animals are also somewhat quirky, making her a character that has drawn mixed reviews from readers and fans.
A Cheerful and Strong-willed Personality
Haru is not only always cheerful, but also has a strong-willed personality. He also has an honest personality, and even Louis, a charismatic figure at Cherryton Academy, is depicted as being forthright in his speech. His personality is the polar opposite of the protagonist, Legoshi, but perhaps that's why they were attracted to each other and became conscious of each other.
He believes herbivores are overwhelmingly weak
Haru's defining characteristic is his belief that herbivores, including himself, are overwhelmingly weak. He also feels the barriers between different species, and despite being in love with Louis, who is also a herbivore, he is pessimistic, believing that their union is unrequited. He also views Legoshi as an incompatible being, but as they continue to talk, he begins to feel attracted to him.
Is he disliked by other animals?
Another characteristic of Haru is that he is not well-liked by other animals. This is due to the fact that he has engaged in sexual relations with carnivores, wanting to be treated as an equal. Haru doesn't stop this behavior because he feels like an equal while they're together. However, it can sometimes create rifts between the animals, leading to their dislike and isolation at school.
What is the relationship between Haru and Legoshi in "BEASTARS"?
In "BEASTARS," the protagonist Legoshi and heroine Haru begin dating after meeting, and are drawn to each other. The development of their relationship is a focus of attention throughout the series, and even when they try to distance themselves, they often end up growing closer. So, let's unravel the relationship between the two and find out what kind of animal Legoshi appears to Haru.
Moving Conversations Lead to Mutual Attraction
The two first met while Legoshi was on guard duty. It was dark, so Haru couldn't recognize Legoshi. However, after accidentally nearly eating him, Legoshi tried to distance himself. However, as their encounters increased, Legoshi began to fall in love with Haru. Haru, in turn, was moved by Legoshi's feelings, and eventually their relationship developed into one of mutual appreciation.
The Benefactor Who Saved Her from Cannibalism
After the two met, their relationship deepened. Shortly thereafter, Haru was kidnapped by the Shishi-gumi, a group based in the black market, and was in grave danger of being eaten. In response, Legoshi teamed up with Gohin to infiltrate the Shishi-gumi's hideout. Thus, Haru was successfully rescued, Legoshi became his savior, and their relationship grew closer.
She continues to love Legoshi wholeheartedly
After his duel with Riz, Legoshi's contact with herbivores was restricted. He then dropped out of school and began living alone, which caused him to suffer mentally for a while. Haru broke up with Legoshi without telling him anything, and he desperately wanted to meet and talk. However, the next time they met was after he had gone to college. Just as he was about to let go of his feelings for Legoshi, he remembered his birthday. Haru rushed over to congratulate Legoshi, and he revealed the truth to her.
What is the relationship between Haru and Louis in "BEASTARS"?
You're probably wondering what will happen to Haru and Legoshi's relationship. In "BEASTARS," Haru and Louis were romantically involved. However, with Legoshi's arrival, Haru and Louis naturally drifted apart, and their relationship was forged. Louis is an essential animal in "BEASTARS," but what was his relationship with Haru like? Let's delve into the details.
First Meeting as His Horns Grow Back
Haru and Louis first met when Louis's horns were growing back. In order to keep his horns from being revealed to anyone, Louis hid in the gardening club's garden, but unfortunately, Haru spotted him. Louis offered a large sum of money to keep him quiet, but Haru refused to accept it. Furthermore, Haru not only treated Louis, but also treated him kindly, even letting him stay in the gardening club's shed in consideration of his circumstances.
Louis, Drawn to His Directness
Haru and Louis spent more time together, and as their mutual attraction grew, they began dating in secret. Haru's honest personality made him say what he wanted to say, which Louis seemed to find appealing. However, because Louis was engaged, their relationship was limited to the time they were both students. Haru regretted the short time they shared, and they both began to feel lonely.
When Louis Joins the Shishi-gumi, They Lose Contact
The two were only in love for a limited time while they were students, but when Louis became the boss of the Shishi-gumi, they lost contact with each other. The Shishi-gumi were a dominant presence in the black market, so perhaps he didn't want to cause trouble for Haru. Thus, Haru and Louis's relationship naturally faded away, but a new relationship with Legoshi began to grow closer. Haru and Legoshi also became attracted to each other and deepened their friendship.
About Haru and His Love Rival in "BEASTARS"
Haru, Legoshi, and Louis share one of the most noteworthy relationships in "BEASTARS." While a love triangle isn't forming, Louis's concern for both Haru and Legoshi raises expectations for a new relationship. However, there are other animals who influence and connect with Haru. Let's introduce two animals who are rivals in Haru's love life.
Juno, the Gray Wolf Who Loves Legoshi
Haru wasn't the only woman who had Legoshi's eye on her; the gray wolf Juno was also. Juno, in particular, seems to have been particularly interested in her, as she is the same gray wolf species as Legoshi. However, Juno was the only one who saw her as a love rival, and it seemed that she viewed Haru as a one-sided rival. However, Juno was easily overwhelmed by Legoshi's naivety, and her love for Legoshi ultimately failed to materialize.
Seven, the Sheep Who Became an Obstacle to Love
Legoshi was suffering from meat withdrawal symptoms and was unable to have a proper conversation with Seven, who lived next door to him. However, in order to see Haru again, Legoshi first undergoes rehabilitation so he can converse properly with Seven. By chance, Haru witnesses Legoshi and Seven leaving together, and eventually sees them entering the same apartment building. Haru had planned to surprise Legoshi, but after seeing the two of them, she leaves.
Summary
Haru possesses the personality of a heroine, behaving cheerfully and with a strong will. However, underneath this is her desire to be treated as an equal, and she is portrayed as being proactive about sex. After meeting Legoshi, they are drawn to each other and begin a pure romance, but it will be interesting to see how Haru and Legoshi's relationship will develop from here. The anime, which will begin airing in October 2019, is sure to be a must-watch, especially for the relationship between these two.
