Fyodor. Dostoevsky. Please go die in a ditch :).
(Not the real author- the book character- I am aware that the author is dead- this series is based off of famous classical literature authors from around the world-)
WHY CAN'T HE DIE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I swear Asagiri has an obsession with bring people back to life after they "died" in the most absurd ways.
SPOILERS!!!

*This review is for Bungo Stray Dogs as a whole, not just this volume. I will add the same review under every volume.*
BSD is good, but not great. I like the character designs and the art is amazing. But it's way too overhyped in my opinion. There are some things I didn't like or found pretty dumb.
1. Everyone is a genius syndrome: 10 characters or even more have an insanely high IQ. if everyone is a chess god playing mind games, then nobody actually is. At some point it stops being 'clever' and starts being exhausting. Like let someone actually miscalculate ONCE without it being part of some bigger plan. BSD intelligence is stylized, exaggerated, plot driven, "genius aura", and characters know things because the story says so. So when someone says "Dazai has an IQ of 200" That number means basically nothing. Just "Please believe he is very smart." Same with Ranpo. An IQ of 200+ is not even useful in real world context. Authors use it like a power level. I prefer characters with realistic intelligence. Because they could exist, you could meet them, and you wouldn’t realize what they're doing until it’s too late. That’s way scarier than an IQ stat pulled from someone’s ass. Actually, where do BSD IQ numbers even COME from?? Asagiri did not run these characters through a Wechsler test. There is no in universe scene where Dazai sits down with a psychologist, Mori hands out scantrons, or Ranpo speedruns Mensa. IQ in BSD functions like "This character is very smart, please clap." Dazai's IQ is 200, Fyodor's is 200 (people argue about Dazai's and Fyodor's IQ, but I really don't care if it's 200 or 215), Ranpo's is 215, Mori's is 175+, Ango's is 170+, a lot of people say Chuuya's is also secretly 150+. So what does "smart" even mean anymore? It becomes a badge, a hierarchy, a fandom flex instead of a special skill/trait and something demonstrated. If everyone is a genius, no one is. There’s no contrast.
2. plot armor thicker than concrete: some characters should’ve been dead five arcs ago. I don't actually mind the plot armor that much, but sometimes it's a bit ridiculous. It gets a bit annoying when every loss is secretly a win in disguise.
3. Fake ugliness: This is the one that bothers me the most. BSD talks about the dark, ugly sides of humanity but then makes them hot, tragic, romantic, and conveniently justified. That’s not ugliness that’s aestheticized suffering. BSD wants to say "Look how ugly and broken humans are." But everyone is hot, everyone is exceptional, everyone has poetic trauma. So the ugliness is symbolic, sanitized, controlled. It’s shown from a distance. The characters are extremely competent, hyper talented, admired by the narrative, rarely truly powerless. They’re bad at living in a romantic way.
4. The female characters are badly written: not necessarily offensively bad but thin. They’re underdeveloped compared to the men, their trauma is glossed over, they rarely drive the plot in a way that isn’t immediately overshadowed, and when they are competent the narrative doesn’t linger on their inner world the same way it does with the guys. Meanwhile the male cast gets internal monologues, philosophy dumps, elaborate mind games and mythologized suffering.
5. The tragic backstory inflation: people don't like when someone complains about this, and I think all the backstories are interesting, but practically every character has the most insane past ever. Everybody’s parents are dead, abused, betrayed, experimented on, orphaned, shot, drowned, and emotionally obliterated. What bothers me is that for a lot of characters (especially female ones) we get a tragic past, one flashback, maybe one emotional speech, and then it’s never meaningfully addressed again. No long-term consequences, no behavioral patterns that actually complicate the plot, no messy coping, regression, or contradictions. It’s always maximum suffering, minimum specificity. Abuse. Experiments. Dead family. Betrayal. Rinse, repeat. Nuanced backstories would be things like loving parents who still fucked you up unintentionally, doing something morally wrong by choice and having to live with it, being privileged but empty, being loyal to the wrong people for too long, slow corruption instead of "one horrific event", failure without a villain to blame. BSD almost never does that. It prefers "Something horrible happened TO me" instead of "I made a decision that shaped who I became." And that’s why it all feels glamorized. If the character is a victim of extreme circumstances, the narrative can always go "see? not their fault." Nobody has to sit in the discomfort of agency. That’s also why characters like Dazai get sanitized by the fandom. If his past is framed as 'he was broken and saved" then people can pretend he was secretly good all along when the whole point should’ve been that he’s functional, charming, and still morally fcked. BSD could have been so much stronger if it trusted quieter uglier human flaws instead of trauma shock value. Less "experimented on as a child" and more "I chose wrong and kept choosing wrong."
6. The characters are not relatable: You always see many people being like "I kin Dazai" but in my opinion, they are not relatable at all. BSD characters don’t feel like people, they feel like concepts wearing drip. The constant galaxy brain IQ, hyper optimized trauma, perfectly timed suffering, flawless execution of plans…creates distance. You’re not watching someone LIVE, you’re watching someone perform a role the author assigned them. Real people misread situations, act out of insecurity, get lucky instead of smart, regret things that weren’t "necessary", fail in boring embarrassing ways. BSD characters almost never do that. Even their breakdowns are aesthetic. Even their mistakes are "actually part of the plan." That kills relatability HARD. You can always relate in theory. But it’s surface level "I relate to their trauma" or "I relate to feeling lost" and not "I recognize this person’s thought process" or "I’ve made that exact dumb choice" That’s why they feel unreal. It also ties back to the IQ thing. When everyone’s a genius the story stops being about human limitations. You can’t project yourself into someone who’s always five steps ahead, because most of us are just trying to survive step one without tripping over our own shoelaces. BSD wants you to admire its characters.
It rarely lets you recognize yourself in them.
7. Sometimes the story also can be straight up boring. Not all the time, but enough that you start checking how many chapters are left like "okay… are we done cooking or what?" To me, early arcs were meh, middle arcs slapped, later arcs felt like Asagiri just kept stacking twists because of escalation addiction.
BSD’s biggest crime is that it pretends to be deeper than it is. It wants to be profound, literary, morally complex, but it rarely commits to letting characters genuinely fail, rot or face consequences. It’s not bad. It’s just overhyped. Dazai especially feels more like a concept and less like a person. Everything in BSD is so glamourized. It refuses to make anything actually genuinely uncomfortable. Nobody is allowed to be truly pathetic, cruel, or wrong without the story going "actually, this was all justified." Like. Let someone be ugly and stay ugly. Also the overhyping of characters is wild. The fandom treats them like they’re the most complex beings ever written when half their personality is: smart, sad, hot, morally ambiguous (but not really). Everyone likes something different, of course, but instead of epic despair, operatic suffering, genius masterminds above consequence, I prefer just people being messy. So yeah. BSD isn’t trash. But it’s not the literary holy text people act like it is. It’s a stylish, sometimes fun, sometimes frustrating series that thinks it’s deeper than it actually commits to being. It's interesting, dramatic, fun at times. But relatable? Grounded? Human? Nah.
Important: If anyone ever reads this, don't take this review too seriously. I was just bored and decided to write a long review. Nothing against BSD or people who enjoy it. I actually used to be a huge BSD fan from like 2020 to 2024. And I glazed it a LOT, so I know how much people in the fandom exaggerate. I would give it 2 or 3 stars for how enjoyable it had been for me. The time in the fandom had been fun, but the story and characters itself are not something I like that much.

Girl what the FUCK. I think we should all agree to never be creative again because???
Right when you think oh thank god, our heroes saved the world 🫶 WRONG BITCH. Somehow everything is even worse now?????? Like wow I didn't think things could get worse but this author is fucked in the head.😭
And then I've caught up so there is no more right now??? Sick & twisted. Gotta say amazing series though. 13/10, never missed and I'm so sad I am done.

sidenote: people who passionately hate on Fyodor…. how boring can you beee!! he’s one of the most complex and interesting characters ever written; he could commit the worst acts but he will always remain so damn fascinating

ES HAT ALLES SINN GEMACHT, THE DOTS ARE DOTTING ICH BRAUCHE TEIL 26 JETZT SOFORT
September 7, 2024
covers s5 ep 10-11 and probably into s6 whenever that comes out
chapter 110
oh! shin soukoku vampire bite i bet the shippers went wild with that one! i said she's incredible but aya is out here making moves saving the world she's literally THE hero
chapter 110.5
fukuzawa stole the sword and slashed fukuchi's throat! if i were reading this in real time i'd be going crazy rn
chapter 111
nikolai turned on the radio and fyodor immediately destroys it??? where was that in the anime. "i don't need ur praise" ok that's literally ur bestie. probably the most disappointing part of this series is the fact that fyodor was able to pass information using his vampire friends. dazai literally had to use his heartbeat and to stop time to get info in and out but fyodor just had his henchmen do it?? that's hella anticlimactic i thought it'd be something equally as impressive like the way he blinks lol. fyodor wants to kill nikolai my fyolai dreams are NOT over
chapter 111.5
fyodor's fatal flaw was that he didn't have friends/allies unlike dazai who relied on ranpo and chuuya and co to aid him. now what's really fascinating is that if fyodor had trusted just one (1) person, if he had asked nikolai to pilot the plane and he would've probably gladly done it, would the outcome be changed? there would be no vampire to stab him. nikolai and fyodor would be flying away in that helicopter if fyodor had just trusted one person outside of himself. but he couldn't he didn't and this is how he ends up.
chapter 112
mori supergluing chuuya's teeth on for fun i MISS vol 1 when the port mafia was the biggest problem. fukuchi's motives actually made my jaw drop. oh god the iconic nikolai and arm panel this is devastating. war being an us vs them and fukuchi completely erasing a them so everyone becomes an us. yknow what i'm just like tekuro i'm on his side.
chapter 113
oh damn fyodor gave sigma everything? why didn't he just kill him i wonder i'm sure that's his plan as well. him being alive for millions of years makes sense tbh. i'm guessing s6 will start with the sigma/fyodor flashback when it comes out in like forever we're gonna have to wait so long aren't we. damn all fukuchi wanted was world peace :( teruko's resolve she's my everything
chapter 114
dazai really is the brains while chuuya is the brawn. except he just watches dazai pull the corpse out he's so real for that. my king is ALIVE!!
chapter 114.5
ok fine he didn't need nikolai to drive the helicopter but i stand by what i said. it'll probably be his lack of human connection that is his downfall when he does lose in who knows how many chapters from now. (nikolai was caressing a rando's hand rip). ok bye bye bram it was fun while it lasted. oh he looks SOOO good (hot) in bram's vampire clothes where is nikolai someone pls show this to him and tell him his bestie isn't dead after all. oh no! a tripolar singularity we're all doomed!! what tf is a tripolar singularity. haha i'm assuming similar to dead apple tho fyodor is the only villain ever no one else holds a candle to him.
season 5 is finished and honestly i'm begging asagiri to pull a jjk and release chapters every week pls i cannot wait a month at a time. i'm just finally glad fyodor did something that literally no one could predict and now that i HAVE caught up to ch 118 i wonder how dazai will get to japan to solve this and where ranpo is bc they are literally the only ones who could help. i need nikolai's reunion with fyodor like i need oxygen btw.

AIUTO
AIUTO
Già bisogna accettare i mille mesi di attesa, se poi ogni volume che esce è più sconvolgente del precedente, non si sa bene in che stato psicologico arriverò alla fine di questo arco narrativo 🫠 forse mi servirà la terapia...
I miei personalissimi MVP di questo volume sono la piccola Aya e il nostro Bram - la prima decide di sacrificare la sua giovanissima vita in modo da liberare la spada attualmente conficcata in quel che resta del corpo del vampiro, nel tentativo di dare una possibilità di sopravvivenza all'umanità, mentre il secondo decide di proteggerla, riconoscendone il coraggio e il senso di giustizia. La liberazione di Bram permette di riguadagnare il controllo sulla mandria di vampiri in giro per il mondo, ma, come sempre, il momento di felicità dura molto poco 😢 comunque, dovesse mai uscire un manga sulle avventure di Aya e di Bram, io me lo leggerei perché adoro vederli insieme (lo so che tecnicamente lui è una specie di calamità e lei è solo una bambina, ma sono un duo che funziona, ok?).
I colpi di scena del volume però sono altri due. Il primo riguarda i veri obiettivi del piano messo in piedi da Fukuchi - un attacco terroristico concepito per impedire ulteriori guerre in futuro. L'idea è quella di usare One Order in modo da mettere nelle mani di una singola persona il potere di mobilitare tutte le forze militari e impedire ai singoli stati di fare come gli pare. Dopo tutte le tragedie a cui ha dovuto assistere sul campo di battaglia e dopo aver ricevuto una profezia dal futuro, Fukuchi decide di muoversi per salvare la vita di milioni di persone. Ed è pronto a morire nel ruolo del cattivo per raggiungere questo scopo. E per sostituirlo ha scelto il suo migliore amico, il presidente Fukuzawa. Allora, mi sembra un piano un tantino troppo elaborato. Anche perché ha comunque inserito la stipula di non avere più di 500 vittime...certo, 500 sono meno di 200 milioni, ma restano comunque 500 vite che tu hai sacrificato per i tuoi piani. Hai seminato il panico ovunque, hai messo in crisi l'economia mondiale. E anche la sua idea di cancellare tutte le differenze tra nazioni, il concetto di sovranità nazionale, le peculiari locali...insomma, ci saranno dei lati positivi, però ci sono anche delle criticità che non vanno sottovalutate.
E poi c'è la questione del vero potere di Dostoevskij - chi lo uccide diventerà il nuovo Dostoevskij. E come scoprirà il buon Sigma, Dosto è un soggetto che è in circolazione da un sacco di tempo. Purtroppo anche il redivivo Dazai (accompagnato dal fido Chuya, che non è mai stato un vampiro 😅) lo capirà troppo tardi. Ergo, alla fine della fiera, visto che è stato ucciso da un vampiro, Dosto occuperà il corpo di Bram e si troverà tra le mani due spade dal potere divino e un altro potere (moltiplicare per cento la forza dell'arma impugnata), dando così il via alle "Tre Peculiarità". Quindi, per mezza pagina abbiamo tirato il fiato, ma adesso c'è il rischio di una vera apocalisse😢 la scelta del presidente di risparmiare Fukuchi, solo per darlo in pasto a Dostoevskij, rischia di rivelarsi disastrosa. Bene ma non benissimo 😭 prima della fine spedirò a Kafka Asagiri la fattura delle mie future sedute dalla psicologo.
Ridateci Bram e Aya che se ne vanno a spasso per il mondo, così siamo tutti contenti 🥲

Già bisogna accettare i mille mesi di attesa, se poi ogni volume che esce è più sconvolgente del precedente, non si sa bene in che stato psicologico arriverò alla fine di questo arco narrativo 🫠 forse mi servirà la terapia...
I miei personalissimi MVP di questo volume sono la piccola Aya e il nostro Bram - la prima decide di sacrificare la sua giovanissima vita in modo da liberare la spada attualmente conficcata in quel che resta del corpo del vampiro, nel tentativo di dare una possibilità di sopravvivenza all'umanità, mentre il secondo decide di proteggerla, riconoscendone il coraggio e il senso di giustizia. La liberazione di Bram permette di riguadagnare il controllo sulla mandria di vampiri in giro per il mondo, ma, come sempre, il momento di felicità dura molto poco 😢 comunque, dovesse mai uscire un manga sulle avventure di Aya e di Bram, io me lo leggerei perché adoro vederli insieme (lo so che tecnicamente lui è una specie di calamità e lei è solo una bambina, ma sono un duo che funziona, ok?).
I colpi di scena del volume però sono altri due. Il primo riguarda i veri obiettivi del piano messo in piedi da Fukuchi - un attacco terroristico concepito per impedire ulteriori guerre in futuro. L'idea è quella di usare One Order in modo da mettere nelle mani di una singola persona il potere di mobilitare tutte le forze militari e impedire ai singoli stati di fare come gli pare. Dopo tutte le tragedie a cui ha dovuto assistere sul campo di battaglia e dopo aver ricevuto una profezia dal futuro, Fukuchi decide di muoversi per salvare la vita di milioni di persone. Ed è pronto a morire nel ruolo del cattivo per raggiungere questo scopo. E per sostituirlo ha scelto il suo migliore amico, il presidente Fukuzawa.
