Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 1 (light novel): Osamu Dazai's Entrance Exam (Bungo Stray Dogs (Light Novel))

Product Information

I am crying so hard and so constantly over Chuuya Nakahara and his entire life and how his general existence brings me so much comfort despite being fictional. he is the love of my life. he is the key to my heart. he is my highest kin. for him i will be pretentious and dramatic and sentimental at a DROP OF A HAT. SERIOUSLY. IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THIS NOVEL OR WATCHED/READ BUNGOU STRAY DOGS, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING WITH YOUR LIFE? YOU’RE MISSING OUT ON SO MUCH AND I COULD GO IN DETAIL WITH AN EXTENSIVE ESSAY BUT I WON’T DO THAT BECAUSE⸺PERHAPS I’D LIKE TO GATEKEEP THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER. Of course, as a fan of Asagiri, I would say that this book is AMAZING. The characters are on point, the plot are on point, the physics theory are on point, and the connection with the canon world is on point. I especially love shin soukoku's fighting scene, I love how deeply Asagiri explore emotion of both Akutagawa and Atsushi, I love how the both of them had justice as equal compared to their canon self.

I love how, even though Chuuya doubts his humanity and in the end he has to give up the chance to really find out the truth, some characters believe in him from the start. Like Adam "You value your friendship and make decisions accordingly. I suppose you could call this human nature." or Dazai in his twisted way "You sound like you're certain he's human.Dark themes and ideas are presented, from suicide, torture to murder. Maybe this spoils too much of the book, but I wish it was as simple as this. It's not. There's so much more and you all must read this novel. Ever had an identity crisis? This book sums it up nicely. While it's extremely depressing, there are heartwarming elements as well, such as... nevermind, I was wrong. There wasn't any. Just once, I want you to imagine just how much it could affect a person if you told them they weren't human."

Dazai, Chuuya, Age 15 - takes place 7 years before the start of the main series and follows Dazai and Chuuya’s meeting. It has been adapted into the anime. Beast - tells the story of an alternative version of the world of Bungo Stray Dogs. The light novel has been adapted into three manga volumes. It is not part of the main BSD universe. I was actually thinking that what if the next novel is about Dazai?! I know we already have two around him but what about something from his viewpoint?! Yeah this is my problem, began Chuuya standing in front of the closed door. But if something like this happened to one of you guys, I don't think I could just ignore it. I'd try to help whether you liked it or not; I bet the rest of you'd feel the same way."Next, what I really like in this story is that the characters stay true to their own self. I mean... their characters are the same with the original story. For example, Atsushi doesn't suddenly overcome his fear towards the orphanage's director. He's still the same Atsushi, the one who is haunted by the past or the incident that happened at the orphanage. And then, Akutagawa. He's still that hot-headed teenage boy, who often do something without plans and rely only on himself. (no hate, okay! I love all characters so much!) and there's Dazai. YES, he's still that goofy (even though not that much), he's still that man who plans as if he can see the future. You won't feel weird out or uneasy with the story, instead you'll get to know more on what happened with Atsushi and Akutagawa when they were younger (before they joined any agency). It will come to the moment you think things are going well. The beast known as failure is always drawn to the stench of success, where it finds and devours its unfortunate prey." Put and end to this lonely soul--the soul of a man who couldn't trust the world or its people like you do."

During Murakami's act, a knife suddenly pierces his chest, which is not part of the script. Fukuzawa rushes to him amidst the crowd's panic, who are later kept in place by the police as they seal the venue. The news emerges that Murakami has died en route to the hospital, while Fukuzawa worries that something might have happened to Ranpo, who has not yet returned. As he looks for him, he is informed that one of the audience members has escaped, who turns out to be the suspicious man he has spotted earlier. Fukuzawa thinks that the man might have taken Ranpo, but Egawa approaches him to relay Ranpo's instructions. He wasn't afraid of death, for he believed that hell would be far more pleasant than this place. Nor did he fear the pain of dying, as day after endless day was nothing but torture." *CRIES Hombre de negro— Akutagawa entrecerró los ojos y preguntó.—Dime una cosa, ¿por qué lo haces? ¿Por que atenerse a esto para detener la extinción de este mundo? JOKES ASIDE, PLEASE WATCH BUNGOU STRAY DOGS IF YOU SEE THIS. I HAVE ZERO WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT THAT ANIME MEANS TO ME, OR WHAT THESE CHARACTERS HAVE DONE TO ME, BUT IT'S JUST... TOO MUCH. IN A GOOD WAY. EVERYONE DESERVES FEELING THAT “TOO MUCH.”Murase, who has since been bent on getting Chūya out of the Mafia, tries to strike a plea deal with the mafioso to be released with Shirase in exchange for selling out internal Mafia intel, which Chūya flatly rejects. Adam breaks Shirase out of jail at Chūya's behest, but Verlaine storms the facility and corners them. Chūya arrives despite Adam's cautionary messages and fights Verlaine. Before Chūya uncontrollably unleashes Arahabaki again courtesy of Verlaine, the latter spots Murase and kills him—his actual first target—before retreating. I read that book a few days ago, and I couldn't stop myself from reading the next volume eventhough I have my end of year exam in 2 weeks. He may be able to manipulate gravity, but my legs are far longer than his. He couldn't possibly outrun me."
