H P. Lovecraft V.S Yumeno Kyūsaku? What more can I ask for?!

The artwork is still as gorgeous as ever, but the Armed Detectives VS the Gangsters VS the Northern American Union storyline is only okay-ish at best.

I kinda like the ending part, well and the little baby 😁

Will stay tuned for the next volume.

PS: don't you ever get me started with all the giggling I have done for all these Bungō Stray Dogs fanfics (Edagawa Rampo/Edgar Allan Poe is a thing, mind you. XD)

Alright, we're getting into the meat of the main story now. Even though this is equal parts absurd and humorous, it still gets pretty dark at times. Love the art, the characters, and just the whole feel of this series.

i’m really happy to see all my favourite writers battling it out and killing each other. i’ve never wanted to see anything more than John Steinbeck [California Jesus] telling Yumeno Kyūsaku [Fukuoka Jesus] that God doesn’t love him

Die Entwicklung von Atsushi und die Methoden, um dahin zu kommen, haben mir super gefallen. Die Stärken und Eigenheiten der Charaktere wurden super ausgespielt xD

*Reread 12/25/2021*
Okay so I guess he's the guide to this book because of his ability? I hope this is explained more later on. Anyway, Q gets introduced this volume and that child is terrifying. I feel like they should include him more, but since his power is a lot it would lose its scariness if he was too overused.

Side note: Idky I love Mark Twain so much but I do. I wish he would show up more in the series.

*Original Review 03/30/2020*
I still don't reallyyy get why Atsushi is the one everyone is after. Like why is he the key to this book?

Anyway I kind of like that he was like "I read this book by this author and I remember this quote." and it's literally a quote from the real Atsushi Nakajima.

Atsushi’s character development is pretty cool. And, abiding by the artist note from one of the previous volumes, I payed attention to the eyes, and wow. The eye colors really do change based on how the characters are doing. Whenever Dazai is showing the serious, cruel streak his eyes have no light in them at all. Whenever Kyouka is giving into her upbringing her eyes are also completely black. And yet sometimes the light returns to them. Dazai’s eyes were a light gray at one point. So kudos to the artist for doing all of this. It’s impressive.

Anyway the true star of the show was Tachihara being handed a child. I don’t even particularly know who he is as a character, but I can’t believe the show omitted that scene.
Kouyou is pretty cool as well.

i’m trying to get as close as i can to being caught up by the time season 4 comes out! i loved atsushi in this one, i don’t know how anyone can possibly dislike him. honestly everyone is so much cooler in the manga than the anime loll

Chapters 25~29 : The Guild Arc
The PM unleashed their most dangerous ability user Kyūsaku Yumeno aka Q . However, things turned south pretty quickly as The Guild decide to execute their Emergency Plan.
We also get to meet more of The Guild's members : Mark Twain, Herman Melville, and their tactician Louisa May Alcott who's rather quite shy ( "That was quite a scare... A stranger tried to talk to me." )

[Angie Rita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yep, reading this series is definitely giving me a greater appreciation of it!


I love Gin (and so should Higuchi...)


THAT WAS SMOOTH AS FUCK
Although seeing them together without him is still painful :'(


I couldn't find a pic of the panel but Dazai basically pulls one of these and it's beautiful


Also I'm indulging in some Atsushi appreciation after this one because the boy just needs love and self-esteem oh my god baby boy you are so much more valuable than you give yourself credit for please love yourself you are a good boy agbdjskalkd


Kyouka appreciation too because my heart just keeps breaking for her oh my god I just wanna adopt everyone in this series

1st read
that final panel got me GASPING i'm so excited oml

[Natalie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely seeing the sheer power and influence that The Guild has in this one, what with being able to act with seeming impunity from the government despite y'know... massive aerial ships and biological warfare.

Was nice to have the return of Kyouka though, even if only for a little while!

Chapter notes below for personal reference: (potentially spoiler heavy)


Chapter 25. ”Q”? Who is “Q”? And why does that name(?) terrify Dazai so much?
–
A mind control ability? In the hands of someone with no morals (which based on Q so far… appears to be the case)... that’s… bad (to put it lightly).
–
Dazai is definitely the best one to take down Q, given his nullification abilities 8’D
–
They’re dragging the GOVERNMENT into the war? How is THAT going to work?

Chapter 26. I’m confused… What did Dazai do to Kouyou? What is this “invisible lock” thing, and why would that make her harmless to the extent that they can just… leave her in an unlocked room?
–
Even the government is helpless? How powerful IS this Guild? o.O
–
Kyouka’s back! To save Atsushi? o.O Wonder where she’s been all this time.

Chapter 27. A not-so-hidden darkness to Kyouka then?
–
….I’m sorry, is that a giant, whale-shaped submarine? ._.
–
Okay, so Atsushi has been taken, Kyouka has been arrested, and it’s a week later and everything is about to go to shit, and Q has potentially just died? Got it.

Chapter 28.Huh. Q is still alive.
–
I’m sorry… the whale sub FLIES?!
–
What is this about a special book? This is the first I’m hearing of a special book! And what the heck does that have to do with the bounty on Atsushi’s head? Because that has NOT been well explained.
–
Well THIS plan is reminiscent of the first Kingsman movie :|
–
Good idea to chain up Kunikida, but uhhh… now what? 8’D
–
I’m very confused by how Montgomery’s abilities work, but she at least appears to be doing well so far? And it’s nice that she’s helping Atsushi out despite everything c:

Chapter 29. Well THAT was an intense fall from the sky 8’D Being shot at, being knocked unconscious, turning into a tiger…
–
SAVE THE BABY.
–
Ooh, shit. Oil tanker.
–
…Got no legs left huh? Monty Python’s black knight anyone? ;D (Well… if he had no arms either). That tiger regeneration should pop through now though, right?
–
Dun dun dunnnnn… The Agency and the Mafia to join forces against the Guild.

Ah que precioso es Atsushi.

I suppose the volume could have been better but after the last battle in the previous volume, I wasn't really expecting much from this except for fillers

capitolo di dazai e chuuya contro lovecraft non inventabile

[Khairunnisaq · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh. Em. Gee! Volume yang ini nice gila. Dia punya character development tu lebih jelas sama ada daripada pihak Port Mafia, Guild, ataupun Agency sendiri. Kali ni character distribution dia agak nice. Tak ada yang over-shadow the other. Satu lagi, cara artist dia gambarkan dan lukis suasana chaos tu very on-point. Akan baca volume seterusnya!

Q fulfills all parts of the meme by being nonbinary, a coughing baby, AND a hydrogen bomb
