## Main Relationships

### Legoshi

Louis and Legoshi met at the school's drama club, the latter being a year younger than the red deer. At first, imprisoned by his own vulnerability and condition as a herbivore, Louis constantly gets angry with Legoshi for having everything to be a powerful carnivore, but preferring to always be in the shadows; So much so that Louis repeatedly thinks that all that kindness is a mere performance and the wolf is only repressing his true instincts.

Already in the course of the series, Louis realizes how captivating Legoshi's personality is to him, since he is kind despite having the strength to easily end the life of a herbivore. Later they end up becoming great friends by putting an end to the incident of Tem's murder at the hands of a carnivore.

### Haru

Haru and Louis used to be friends with benefits. They met in the first year and both sides liked each other, but Louis already had a fiancée designated by his father in order to continue with the pure lineage of red deer in his family and also for the business of the family conglomerate. Louis felt that he could show Haru his vulnerability, however, he could never be completely honest with his feelings for her.

### Juno

Juno and Louis share space in the drama club, within the actors section. In their first solo encounter, while practicing for a quick performance, she bullies and tries to intimidate Louis by saying that she will be the next Beastar and not him, as the whole school thinks.

While Louis was affiliated with the Shishigumi, Juno was one of the few people who knew about it. Eventually Juno began to be drawn to the red deer.

On his graduation day, the two share a kiss and, after desperately trying to hurt Juno by telling her that interspecial relationships do not lead to anything good, she leaves and Louis blushes thinking of that kiss.

### Ogma

After choosing and buying Louis at the age of five (even knowing Louis's weak body), Ogma takes him away and explains in an elevator his intentions by adopting him, because Louis was reluctant to go with him. He throws him to a waiting floor full of carnivores and gives him a knife to face them to demonstrate his bravery and fight for his life. Instead of taking the knife to defend himself, Louis takes it to try to commit suicide and avoid being devoured alive, before he succeeds, Ogma grabs him and returns him to the elevator. Ogma is surprised by Louis's show of pride, considering him worthy and takes him as his son, explaining that he can change the world by turning his pain and suffering into force and using it to change the world for the better, naming it "Louis".

From this event the relationship between the two characters began, Louis at first was still afraid of Ogma, but over the years he learned to live with him, respected him, in a way admired and loved him. Not only for him having saved his life, if not by giving him the opportunity to change this society, Ogma gave him all the tools to prepare Louis to defend himself only in this society consumed in hatred.

### Ibuki

Louis invaded the Shishigumi Mansion, where after assassinating the Chief Lion, he was at the mercy of the other Shishigumi members. One of the lions present, Ibuki, saw this as an opportunity to give a new face to the group, having a leader who is a herbivore. Since then Ibuki became Louis's protector, friend and even develops a father/son relationship with Louis. They managed to improve the group's perspective and gain even more influence within the Black Market. After Legoshi asked Louis for help to face Riz, Louis saw that he had to leave that criminal life. It was not the way to make society change, so he tried to leave the group. Ibuki took him away from the group to try to convince him to stay. Ibuki realized the only way to bid his boss farewell was death, being a Shishigumi lion. Before this, Ibuki requested Free keep a bullet to shoot him in case he tried to devour Louis. Louis was saddened by the death of Ibuki as he grew to love him.

## Other Relationships

### Shishigumi

Louis was the leader of the Shishigumi for a time, having been suggested to take over by Ibuki. He was respected by the lions, who were willing to lay their lives down for him; Ibuki nearly got into a scuffle with another member due to their suggestion of overthrowing Louis. He bettered Shishigumi's reputation to the point where the back alley market was no longer terrified of them. Instead of fear, they were greeted with positivity and excitement, by various animals. Their reign was more notorious with Louis at the head of their operation, due to his herbivore status. Turf wars were still a problem for the group however.

### Azuki

Louis and Azuki are fiancées, not by love but because Ogma and Azuki's father designated them to be purely for continuing the red deer bloodline. Azuki tries to have sex with Louis, but Louis struggles to feel comfortable going through with it. He tries to convince himself he needs to, but ends up getting sick and cannot follow through. Azuki keeps him company while he throws up.
