I love the Atsushi/Akutagawa duo SO MUCH. and the cover of this volume is absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe I used to dislike the manga's art style.
*Original Review 4/1/2020*
Why am I just now realizing that Dazai was purposefully trying to make Akutagawa and Atsushi the next Dazai and Chuuya duo.
Dazai is such a jerk. Akutagawa just wants his acceptance and he's so mean to him!! Like Akutagawa is just a giant child and he's ready to fight Atsushi at any moment but also very quick to save him lol. And him passing out after Dazai praises him gets me every time.
I also find the Poe x Ranpo dynamic interesting. Like Poe is trying to get Ranpo's approval and "win" against him, but irl Ranpo got his pen name from Poe so it's like a role reversal. Reading the physical copies of the manga is so nice cause I'm getting all these fun facts. I love it!
