I wish it was possible to give more than 5/5.
Rampo is absolutely BRILLIANT.
And I didn't think I would be this much hyped by Akutagawa's return.

This volume reminded me once again how much I love this manga. Hands down one of the best ever. The Decay of Angels arc is getting more and more interesting !!

[Elena Rodríguez · Rating 4 out of 5]

SO THE IMPOSIBLE PREDICTION CAME TRUE.
3.5

Ha sido un tomo más ligero que el anterior, cosa que he agradecido porque el anterior era medio denso.

La historia sigue avanzando decentemente, aunque me da la sensación que el autor está rizando el rizo en algunas ocasiones. Sinceramente ha habido momentos que me he perdido, es decir, quien es un traidor o está fingiendo entre otras cosas.

Seguimos.

I'm not going to leave reviews on all of the volumes in this series, because I'm not crazy. But the Decay of Angels arc is so god damn delicious. In this house, we stan Sakaguchi Ango.

Now what will it take for them to give my one and only Chuuya more page time??? Please, we're starving.

Review:

(1) Hahahaha nice one-liner from Rampo! 😀😅

(2) ARGH since I had already watched the anime series so I know what's to come.

(3) Okay...my feeling, my fxxking feeling! 🥺🥺🥺😭

(4) And Lucy helps! The girl rocks so hard!!!!!

(5) But okay...the villains are cool and dangerous so far! 😀😅😀😅


PS: but please don't you ever get me started with all the giggling and fangirl's exclaiming I have done for all these Bungō Stray Dogs fanfics (Edagawa Rampo/Edgar Allan Poe is a thing, among plenty of other Ships mind you. XD)

[Alexandra Elend Wolf · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars.

“As a group, the Agency gives us the power to accomplish what we couldn’t as individuals.”

Every time I even think of this volume I need to take deep breaths because it pains me so badly and elates me so much it's not even funny.

First of all, as much as I love most of the characters in this series there is no one that could ever compare to The Armed Detective Agency and how deeply a love all their brave, honorable, selfless souls. There's no contest. So having this volume with them having more of a focus, again, was a complete treat.

Of course, that is all offset by the completely earth-shattering and maddening revelation that we are dealt.

I'm still pretty pissed at it. I mean, I love what it means, but I am pissed at the happenings.

That being said, seeing all things start to fall into place, being able to practically taste the seedlings of hope that are sprouting is nothing if not refreshing and it brings a completely different kind of tears to my eyes.

Still, that ending terrifies me just as much as it gets my blood pumping.

“Win, and the case is solved. Lose, and the world is destroyed. What I do right now will decide it all.”

________________

This volume just makes me emotional on so many different levels.

Seriously, just remembering makes me tear up.

RTC.

Decided to re-watch the BSD anime last week and fell into the biggest rabbit hole.
I then re-read EVERYTHING and caught up on all the volumes I'd missed, what a wild ride.
This is my life now, I'll probably read the Light Novels next.

Anyway, anybody else getting emotional because the ghost of Atsushi's headmaster is slowly being replaced by Dazai? Because I am. Man this Arc is great, see you next volume!

Gosh! You think it gets better just to make it worse again! But you don’t know how glad I am to see Akutagawa again!

[Kay · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ta seria jest taka genialna matko 🤌🏻🤌🏻

[Zita Azlina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good night everyone. This arc ruined my life :)

Although I actually have tons of things to say about this, i ended up can't put it into words.

I think i'd arrange my thoughts first and come back to leave review here.

Anyway.

This
Arc
Ruined
My
Life.

Read at your own risk :)

P.s. I'd say outrightly that this arc is the best so far and yes! I LOVE the plot and the villains.

Good job.

X.

[Nova Syzygy]

AKUTAGAWA!!!!!!!

The fact that Ranpo is literally on the same level as Dazai and Dostoevsky but chooses to just laze around is very entertaining to me.

Also. Also. Ango? Pain.

[Shenwei · Rating 5 out of 5]

rip my blood pressure

[zara · Rating 5 out of 5]

ranpo the REAL mvp here, it's so satisfying seeing him put all the pieces together. also, HE'S BACK OH MY GODDDDD HE'S BACKKKKK

[Jaye Berry · Rating 5 out of 5]

The reveals and BETRAYALS has me clutching my pearls.😭

Ranpo really shined in this one omg. He's so brilliant. The way he talks soo much shit about being the smartest person in the room and then proceeds to be the smartest person in the room.🤌 He carried fr.

Poor agency, poor Atsushi. Everything is going so horribly like are we allergic to happiness??? Right when you think things are going their way, lol no.

Absolutely threw my book and started climbing up the walls at Akutagawa showing up to save Atsushi like yesssss bitch come get your bf !!!! (The anime has done him dirty as well because damn I forgot how gorgeous he was???)

I was gonna rate lower because that one old dude would NOT stop fucking yapping but Akutagawa showing up just to serve face really canceled that out.

[elhyza]

one of the best volumes may i say, probably has to do with the fact of chapter 81... genuinely cried real tears! the twist reveals with our genius ranpo as always, and that ending just absolutely insane i needed that ending so much like world stopped for my sskk heart.

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ranpo's brain is truly a masterpiece, I love him so much. The revelations were so shocking, but well worth the wait. Aktugawa and Atsushi never fail to have such a cool team up. I'm both excited and dreading what comes next after this.

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love it when Ranpo gets to shine.
