The colorful cast of Bungo Stray Dogs return! Higuchi gets really into haiku as she seeks out new ways to express her feelings for Akutagawa and Dazai has a totally serious conversation with his Dark Era buddies about the true meaning of what it means to apologize. Even the bad guys are getting into the gag manga groove as the Hunting Dogs, the Guild, and Dostoyevsky take the stage!
I just don't like reading about Mori and Elise. The rest of this volume was pretty funny though.
My favorite quotes/lines: Atsushi's thoughts on seeing Chuuya- "Oh no! I caught a hoodlum's attention!" Dazai to Atsushi- "Hello! Yes, reality is calling." Dazai to Kunikida- "Look how happy he is! It really was worth dipping into the company budget!" Kenji to Atsushi- "We need to throw the bad guys off a cliff already..." Akutagawa to Dazai- "I'd gladly go into debt to win your favor, Dazai-san." Fyodor to Poe- "Your raccoon is too cute. It is a sin..." Akutagawa to Atsushi- "Man-Tiger...you protected Dazai-san before my very eyes? Trying to show off your steel-like body?" Dazai to Chuuya- "Oh? I think I hear a voice. Maybe someone is living down below us? Oh! It was you, Chuuya! Sorry, I didn't see you!"
Kunikida wanting Fitzgerald's money. For the agency, of course. Chef Dazai and his Napolitan, which gave Atsushi a heart attack. I live for President and his son Ranpo (not really) interactions. Who knew a guide for raising five year old's will come in handy for a teenager?
Your usual funny moment and cute short stories, plus the book cover is amazing. 😁😁
(1) The Chuuya and Dazai's chapters continue to be amazing! 😁😁😁
(2) Atsushi and Chuuya's cute moments are everything! We should have more of it. 😇😇😇
(3) Somehow we also got the Hunting Dogs' science lab and the good Professor (you know who he is) is happy to do experiments on his poor subordinates!!!! I can't even! 😂😂😂
(4) In one of the stories, Chibi Atsushi mentioned the main story timeline and hinted at the BS that went down, and it makes me a little sad. *sob sobs*
