Beastars is really good.  I almost didn't click on it because of the name but it's surprisingly deep and mature.  

It's about a school in a world of anthropomorphic animals.  Predators live side by side with herbivores but it's a very uneasy situation with a fair amount of descrimination and prejudice.  

The story starts with the murder of a herbivore drama club member, throwing the school into turmoil.  This impacts the main character, a wolf and fellow drama club member, who lives his life trying to escape notice.  He is burdened by the way he is looked at by society and by the knowledge of the predator instincts inside him.

There are other characters with personality problems, as well, who react to the pressures of prejudice in different--and sometimes extreme--ways.  There is some violence and sexuality.  Looks like 16 chapters have been released.
