The official Twitter account for Paru Itagaki’s works has announced that Beast Complex will return this summer with a brand-new one-shot. But more details regarding the publication date and other details will be coming soon.
Originally a predecessor to the award-winning BEASTARS, Beast Complex is a series of short stories set in the same anthropomorphic world. Some entries even expand on familiar Beastars characters. The series last received a new chapter in Weekly Shōnen Champion back in December 2022.
Beast Complex was first serialized in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in March 2016. Viz Media licensed the series for English release in July 2020, with Volume 1 launching in print and digital on March 16, 2021. In early 2021, Itagaki returned with a short miniseries in the same magazine (January–March), which was compiled into Volumes 2 and 3, both released in 2021. The fourth volume shipped in December 2024.
