I've heard good things about both the Manga and the Show, but haven't even got around to reading or watching it myself.

If it does the problematic herbivore/carnivore = gender/race shit that Zootopia did then I'll pass. (Do none of these writers understand that omnivores and big aggressive herbivores exist?)

    When the anime came out on netflix there was a lot of analysis of that to go around because it feels like it's trying to be allegorical, but imo it's completely incoherent and just a side effect of the author being horny for Scar from the Lion King and shaping the worldbuilding around wanting there to be a bunch of scary, dangerous carnivores around (because the author thinks that's hot) and trying to make that work with an otherwise peaceful and mundane society. The carnivores are generally sort of masc-coded and the herbivores femme-coded, but in a very incoherent way that circles back to the author's own tastes (literally for Scar from the Lion King, I'm not joking about that she actually said that was her inspiration for the series).
