And I thought Bungo Stray Dogs had traumatized orphans before...

WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE KAFKA?!!!.....WOW THAT WAS INTENSE IT IS LIKE BSD FAN WATTPAD STORY!


first of all, I read this because of Akutagawa obviously..... but what was that?!! I'm not sure if you can use this manga as true information for the characters because it's so different than the original BSD, everything had been switched around!

If it's bsd, I'll always give 4-5 stars. From the plot, the writing, the art style, everything is mesmerizing and deserves all my love.

First of all, bsd beast manga has different art style than the original one because the artist is different. This one has a bit more messy style but I really love how it suits the vibe of the story. It started with a violent introduction (yeahh it's a bit gory) and through the story there's a lot of fighting scenes. The art style makes the story scarier and dark.

As always, asagiri sensei's writing is the best. So poetic and it goes deep into my heart. I get emotional easily and I feel like tearing up a lot of times 😭 I've read the light novel and now, reading the manga gives me greater picture of what happened. I'm not prepared to get more emotional in the next volumes 😭💔

For bsd fans, please pick up this manga too! Thank you!💖

[04.06.2023 reread] the art style in which the whole manga was drawn really is amazing, paired with 15 I consider it my favorite

I am unbelievably obsessed with the art of this manga; such beautiful art. The plot is amazing; I’m so happy to see my favorite characters once again but in a different plot. I think we can all agree to the fact that we wanted to see something like this. Mafia Dazai and Akutagawa in the detective agency; but man seeing Atsushi as a villain is just something else; I’m shocked. I’m truly invested in this and I’m sure I’ll cling onto this and the BSD manga for way too long.

I can already tell this is gonna be a lot of pain.

we need MORE kenji and akutagawa interactions

[ollie · Rating 5 out of 5]

“I don’t fear death. Hell, too, is probably more comfortable than being here.”

If you’re a fan of Bungo Stray Dogs and anything like me with the thoughts of “what if…?”, then Beast is for you! In Beast we see Akutagawa join the Armed Detective Agency and Atsushi join the Port Mafia. Beast shows us how it’s not necessarily nature that makes Akutagawa and Atsushi who they are in the main manga, but as well as nurture. One change can cause a ripple affect in all of the characters’ lives, and that’s exactly what we witness in Beast. I’m excited to continue reading.

This other universe of Bungo Stray Dogs was good

[Emily Grace · Rating 5 out of 5]

I hope they make an anime adaptation of this somehow. Like maybe a spinoff? Anyway, this was really good. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this good but I love how different the story could've been if Akutagawa was the "hero" and Atushi played the role of the "villain". Plus, this alternate reality is one where Oda is alive (yesss) and I like how his character didn't change much either.

And that once scene where Chuuya showed up was amazing. I love the rivalry between him and Dazai and I like it even more now that Dazai is playing the villain and I'm assuming he took over Mori's job as the Port Mafia leader or he killed him like Mori predicted he would if Dazai had stayed with the Port Mafia.

I also love the new art style. It's way different but to me it works better since this is an alternate story. Like a "what if?" situation where if Atushi and Akutagawa's roles in the story were reversed.

Even in an alternate universe, Chuuya is still my favorite. I can't wait to read the next volume :)

Literally read the first PHYSICAL volume omggg im so happy i have read this already but still

[sofiacoppola · Rating 5 out of 5]

este tomo abarca del capitulo 1 al 4 parte 2

así como me paso con el manga original sentí que este volumen fue muy introductorio, pero igual me gustó bastante, me encantó ver a akutagawa en la agencia, también amé ver a oda otra vez :,)
es súper interesante ver a dazai como jefe de la mafia y a chuuya protegiendolo, eso fue muy tierno, en fin soukoku canon 🏳️‍🌈. también atsushi, dios mío, el personaje de atsushi en el manga original me gusta, pero en esta versión me encanta y necesito saber más de su pasado.
y por último necesito hablar del arte y el diseño de personajes y lo hermosos que son, shiwasu hoshikawa y sango harukawa hicieron un trabajo increible, adoro lo creepy que son las ilustraciones, todo este manga es arte.


*lo mismo que con el manga original, no puedo poner todos los tomos de este manga en mi tag de demasiado para este mundo así que solo voy a poner solo este volumen.

I had been debating whether I wanted to buy this and read it now, or wait until Bungo Stray Dogs was over and then read all the spinoffs. But it was just announced this week that Beast was getting a movie adaption, so I thought now was the time to read it. And man, this just solidifies my opinion that Elseworlds style alternate universe stories are the perfect way to iterate off of a series. Seeing Akutagawa take the position of the protagonist and finding out how he'd react to the things Atsushi went through in the original story is just so... Cool. 😂

Also, seeing how other characters are different as well, Dazai, Atsushi, ODASAKU. 😭😭😭

This series is already gold, and I can't wait for the next volume to come out in November.

[Debby Tiner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Favorite character: Akutagawa, obviously!!

This was a fascinating AU and I am excited to see where the rest of the series takes us. I love Akutagawa and it’s great to see more of him (and the other characters, especially Oda).

I was confused at times but aside from that, great manga!
