I enjoyed this book so much! Partly because it’s been a while since I saw these scenes, so it felt relatively fresh, and partly because it had Dazai and Chuuya in it. They’re so hilarious together!
Quote time! (Sorry for the all caps, I’m lazy and didn’t want to type it myself, so this is how it came out)
Chuuya: “HEY! AT LEAST TELL ME WHERE THE HELL WE'RE GOING ALREADY !!”
Dazai: “AHH, THE WEATHER'S SO BEAUTIFUL TODAY! WHY, IT'S SO LOVELY, I CAN HEAR THE VOICES OF FAIRIES IN THE AIR!”
Dazai: “THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.” (To Chuuya
Dazai: “WHAT A MESS. IF I HAD BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT, I BET I COULD HAVE HAD A PAINLESS DEATH.”
Chuuya: “YEAH, SURE. I'LL KILL YOU ALL YOU WANT LATER, OKAY? FOCUS ON THE JOB.”
Dazai: “MORI-SAN TELLS ME ALL THE TIME THAT I NEED TO KEEP DOING THE THINGS THAT ANNOY PEOPLE THE MOST!”
Randou: “I DON'T THINK HE MEANT THIS.”
Dazai: “IT LOOKS LIKE BEING A LEADER IS A LOT HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS. I'LL GIVE MORI-SAN A SHOULDER RUB LATER.”
They’re funny and I love them and ship them. Excited to read more!

Extra stars for Chuuya's sassy-hip strut

Love how the art style makes Chuuya look like a feral gremlin and Dazai like a manic pixie dream girl 😆

This was soooo gay.
Dazai and Chuuya are working on the case of mysterious explosions and if the old mafia boss is back from the dead.
I love them so much, omg.😭 I think Dazai has a thing for Chuuya yelling at him because he does the most just to get a reaction and then goes 😏 when Chuuya reacts. Dazai is lowkey a freak fr.
The art is amazing. The vibe is so dark and while sometimes it's hard to tell wtf is going on during action scenes, I wouldn't have it any other way.
The way they just look so young because they were young kills me. But also the art style makes them look so cute, I just wanna give them headpats.
They are also so deranged like they matched each other's freak so well??
The story itself and the investigation is confusing to my dumbass but I am very intrigued.

"That's why I love you so much."

This volume really said 'lets make Dazai look as innocent as possible' and I am here for it. The sparkles in his eyes during "That's what makes me love you so much!"?!? the CROCODILE TEARS?? His happiness when describing the trap he set for Chuuya???? HE IS SUCH A MENACE.
Also I do not care if he is manipulating Chuuya atp because 1) he manipulates everyone he meets soooo it's nothing personal 2) "Chuuya-kun has the right to decide how he uses his skill himself" :)
Once again I'm so obsessed with Hoshikawa's style and disappointed with how lackluster/bland the Bones arc was in comparison to this. They left out so much 💔

There's not much for me to say about this series, I'm endeared to it and there's not a lot that's going to stop me from continuing it at this point. Strong middle volume, there's only one left in the set and I like the art here quite a bit!

a good prequel
it explores how Chuuya and Dazai's unconventional partnership got started.
it's a lot darker than the main series.
solid prequel.
