p1: Legosi: want some calpis, Haru-chan? Haru: ah, i want some
p2: Legosi: oh, i wonder if it’s diluted enough… it’s hard making calpis for someone other than myself…
p3: Legosi: but wait, is it ok if i take a sip to check the taste? This is Haru-chan’s cup, would that be bad? what do i do what do i do Note: they’ve been dating about a year
p4: Legosi: p…please check the taste Haru: too much water!
The other day, I got curious about how surnames would work in Beastars. So I decided to look it up, and to my great joy I found this tweet by series creator Paru Itagaki. (original link)
While I don’t know the first thing about Japanese, through automatic translators I gathered:
(Photo:) “29. Terumi Ningyō: Why do Beastars characters don’t have family names?” (Tweet:) “In the world of Beastars, species names are treated as family names. Gray Wolf (family name) Legoshi (first name), Bengal Tiger (family name) Bill (first name).” (Hashtag:) #BeastarsTalkShowBonus
So, per her word we would have “Legoshi Gray Wolf”, “Bill Bengal Tiger”, and so on and so forth. (Perhaps comparable to the standard “Sonic the Hedgehog”formula?)
On one hand, this keeps things simple and straightforward, which is good. On the other hand, I did have a little headcanon or two (for example, Louis (Red Deer)’s surname being “Horns”, due to his father being leader of the Horns Conglomerate), but alas.
