In a world where anthropomorphic animals coexist, there’s a palpable tension between carnivores and herbivores. This tension escalates at Cherryton Academy following the mysterious death of Tem, an alpaca from the school’s drama club, which heightens the existing mutual distrust. Legoshi, a grey wolf who works behind the scenes in the stage crew and was friends with Tem, has always been viewed with suspicion due to his carnivorous nature. After the incident, he tries even harder to suppress his intimidating qualities, which does not sit well with Louis, a red deer and the assertive lead actor of the drama club.

One evening, while Louis is secretly preparing Tem’s replacement for an upcoming play in the auditorium, he tasks Legoshi with guarding the area. It is during this assignment that Legoshi meets Haru, a marginalized white dwarf rabbit. His emerging feelings for Haru, intertwined with his natural predatory instincts, push him to reevaluate his identity, investigate the truth behind his friend’s death, and address the broader societal issue of violence that affects their world.
