This year's 16th issue of Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine revealed on March 18 that Paru Itagaki's new mini-series manga for her Beast Complex manga will end in the magazine's next issue on Thursday.
In addition, Amazon is listing a second and third volume of the manga that will ship on April 8 and May 7, respectively.
Viz Media licensed the original Beast Complex manga, and it describes the story:
A tiger and a beaver who grew up together defy peer pressure to end their friendship and join forces to fight injustice. A camel journalist who spent his career passing judgment on carnivores spends a life-changing night with a seductive wolf. A saltwater crocodile and a gazelle must find a way to work together as chef and assistant on a cooking show with flagging ratings. A fox and a chameleon wrestle with stereotypes about each other—and themselves. And much more…
