Failed Project of Love: How Beastars is an Allegory to Our Supremacist Society

Abstract

This senior project Failed Product of love: How Beastars is an allegory to our supremacist society, discusses supremacy as an allegory in the manga series Beastars by Paru Ittagaki. Many people tend to disregard this narrative in this series specifically and I argue that there is so much to this world that mirrors our own, even down to the behaviors of the animal citizens in Beastars. I discuss forms of prejudice and bias across the series in both the manga and the anime adaptation
