Disclaimer: what you are about to witness is not a review filled with beautiful prose and critical assessment of the manga, author, characters, or anime. This is going to be a gif-filled nightmare if not filled to the brim with terrifying fangirling. This was written in a deranged state by someone who believes she was having a fever dream. So, if you are not looking for that (an unorganised review that looks more like my brain in overdrive and useless drabbles, that is), please skip away. And if I see anyone hating on this in front of me, just remember that I have knives and I will find you.

THIS REVIEW APPLIES FOR THE FULL ANIME + THE MAIN MANGA UP TO CHAPTER 98.

✨ what this series is about ✨
okay, so the short version? basically, imagine there are three very important organisations that are keeping a city safe from intruders and criminals. now one of those belong to the government, so rule it out. but the remaining two? THEY ARE AT CONSTANT WAR. do they work for the same cause? absolutely. do they do their jobs well? yup! are they very, extremely different from one another and hate each other and are always at each others' throats? 100% accurate. are they always pulling prank wars at each other and constantly trying to kill each other? YES. THOUSAND YESES.
are you still with me? because this gets wild(er)!
meet the Armed Detective Agency.
now meet the Port Mafia.
now that we have established their names and given them faces, and we know that the ADA and PM hate each others’ guts, well of course we have to make suffer! because peace is for losers! so, naturally, the writer forces them to band up together to defeat a common enemy and what ensues is a 👀 begrudging temporary alliance 👀 against:
(1) The Guild.
and (2) The Decay of Angels.
(they are not yet animated, and no good photo of them exists, but i can reassure they are very pretty but very annoying!!)
so, bottomline: this manga/anime is basically seeing idiots that you will NOT BE ABLE TO HATE try and ally up with their lifelong enemies to bring down OTHER common enemies, and mostly fail at that which is nothing short of comedic and I don't think it can get more amusing than that, so uh yeah WATCH/READ IT THANKS.

now for the long version 🥰✨🥰✨ i will be ranting about my favourite ships and will be giving no context so it is better to ignore this part 😌💝😌💝
let us begin the slightly traumatic dive into the deepest parts of ✨ bungou stray dogs ✨
some would argue this has an official description, and it does, something about characters based on real-life authors/writers having supernatural abilities who fight each other but that sounds a little sane, and we don’t want anything to do with that, so here’s what who it is really about:
♘ SECTION: MAIN CHARACTER (S)
✡ Nakajima Atsushi ✡
- an orphaned furry with ptsd (but who is really just the hugest cinnamon roll you will ever meet)
- is the main character (or tries his best to be)
- is kind to literally anyone (except one, but we’ll come to that later. it’s a gay thing, you guys.)
- i have huge gender envy when it comes to him
✡ Ryūnosuke Akutagawa ✡
- an emo traumatised boy with Major Anger Issues (but who really just wants to be loved and nobody wants to love him - i will forever be mad about that)
- is loyal to a fault.
- is mostly indifferent to everyone but rude to atsushi (see!!! told you it was a gay thing!!!)
- i reiterate: HE IS MAD ALL THE TIME.
- HUGE amounts of gender envy over here, too.
✡ Osamu Dazai ✡
- a lanky suicidal maniac who never had his proper redemption arc
- this guy won’t stop making jokes
- HE JUST WON’T STOP
- (he’s always using everybody around him, never shares his plans, is always in a silly goofy mood, and is basically just an asshole who the fandom likes to make fun of. )
- Very Pretty and Gorgeous and Has Great Plans and Probably Always Saves The Day But Who Cares About That?!
- basically OP, because he knows everything, can best everyone, and therefore he is always
- bored. king of boredom right here (he also participates in various suicide attempts and sings about suicide in his free time, our boy is obsessed, but apparently everyone loves the colour red nowadays.)
- hates pain but wants to do a double suicide with a pretty woman.
- is pretty much in love with his former partner but will never admit it because he’s a little shit.
- pretty boy 💝
✡ Nakahara Chuuya ✡
- PERFECT MAN WHO DOES PERFECT THINGS IN PERFECT WAYS
- WAIST-COAT WEARING GORGEOUS BOY
- WITH HIS CUTE PORKIE PIE HAT
- WINE-LOVING DORK
- SWEARING LIL SWEETHEART
- THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
- MY FAVOURITE
- EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE
- THE PRETTIEST OUT OF THEM ALL
- NOBODY COMPARES
- KING OF CAUSING GENDER ENVY
- insane and deranged (but that's how we like em)
- my highest kin
- The Prettiest™
- Best Martial Artist in Existence.
- enemies to lovers situationship with that loser Dazai: activated.
- DID I MENTION PERFECT
- DID I SAY LOVE OF MY LIFE
- HAVE I SAID BEAUTIFUL PRETTY BOY YET okay I’ll stop. (but do you guys GET IT YET?!?!)
˗ˏˋ Soukoku / Double Black (1st Gen) ´ˎ˗
basically Osamu Dazai / Nakahara Chuuya. that's it. that's the post. this is the ship that keeps me up at night because it isn't truly canon but is canon enough to show us that it's a possibility. this is the ship that makes me stoop low enough to resort to fanfiction because we don't get nearly enough canon content when it comes to them. their enemies to lovers is immaculate and i am heartbroken that they will never acknowledge it.
˗ˏˋ Shin Soukoku / “New” Double Black (2nd Gen)´ˎ˗
Nakajima Atsushi / Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. these are the two idiots who can’t come to terms with their attraction to each other so they fight off the sexual tension. really ..... they should be better than this.
(do you guys see what we have to go through? THEY ARE SO DRAMATIC! poor villain went kaboom 😔)
♞ SECTION: SIDE CHARACTERS ( + ships )
✡ Kunikida Doppo ✡
- the only normal person in the show
- but not really
- because he has 58+ qualifications for his future partner
- is absolutely always yelling at everyone to do better
- rule-follower
- SCREAM KING
- former math teacher (you see the problem?)
- #savekunikida2k22
- very hot :) (RESPECTFULLY!)
✡ Edogawa Ranpo ✡
- genius detective who can figure you out under a minute
- smartest person in the show but, like, not streetwise!
- main reason literally anything goes on around here
- BUT IS NOT STREET SMART, I REPEAT. CAN'T TAKE HIM ANYWHERE.
- HUGE snacker. man is always eating and will not stop.
- disinterested in just about everything because he’s such a know-it-all.
- narcissistic / arrogant / prideful / you name it. man has every disorder that tells him he’s the best but y’know . . . . nobody actually BLAMES him. UNDERSTANDABLE.
- very pretty! (especially the eyes!)
✡ Edgar Allen Poe ✡
- pretty little fanboy of our guy Ranpo here
- his life's mission is to beat Ranpo in detective work
- but he keeps failing
- AND HE DOESN'T MIND
- it’s a tragedy
- they’re supposed to be rivals but
- love ensues
***
okay, I'm done and that's not to say that these are the only characters in BSD, but I literally just made this review to be self indulgent and give my main ships some queer love, so even though I love the whole cast to my emotionless dark soul and this is the only emotional support anime that can keep me smiling, I will not be elaborating on other characters but also
here is something for you people to be attracted by
this is basically, in its most fundamental form, an enemies to lovers arc between (1) a criminal organisation and (2) an agency that strives to protect people. so, like, do with that information what you will.
also, another thing! LITERALLY EVERYONE IS GAY!
okay, that's it, bye now. not that anyone's actually going to end up reading this, but if you are, let me just say congrats for reaching this far and I agree with you⸺this should have remained in my drafts. and by no means is bungou stray dogs a 5 star read/watch for everyone, and the question the fandom always asks is plot? what plot but I don't really care because I watch it for the characters and if we don't agree I'm very sorry 😔😔
OKAY, BYE.WATCH THE DAMN ANIME, BTW.
it’s winter again and i miss them all a terrible amount. time to be unhinged and insufferable again and rewatch it for the infinite time. i am intolerably in love with this verse and unapologetic about it. 😋

Update: I never know how monthly chapters can break heart until I started reading BSD; I really love everything about this.
I hope this arc ends with mot so much losses (and I hope for someone I won’t say his name, just someone that we all love to return somehow… okay ? Okay)

"ABIDE BY YOUR SOUL AND ACCOMPLISH YOUR DEEDS..."
Ha esta bien. Tampoco lo considero el mejor arco, siento que se me está haciendo un poco pesado. Lo que más destaco son los personajes nuevos, sobretodo el "antagonista". Pero, por el resto se me está haciendo un poco arriba este arco. Ojalá pronto acabe.
"A world where people die before my own eyes is not part of my ideal".

“We are the Decay of the Angel. Five shadows of death upon the heavens. But you […] are no angel.”
Not much happens in this volume, really, but what does happen had me delighted and hooked.
Tachihara is not a character that had, in the previous installments, gotten too much attention and though I didn't mind him it wasn't like I had much of an opinion of him. Well, that has drastically changed with the last couple of volumes, yes, but this one solidified it for me. He passed from being a background character to one whose struggles I really liked and, probably, one of my favorite, current, characters.
Quite a fit, done so fast.
Really, this just seemed to be the volume where all the characters that I had previously dismissed came back from the back works to, at the very least, intrigue me again.
From, who I thought was, a one-of character that was much more of a plot-furthering device than anything that came back to, apparently, do something more; to Juno, who was my least favorite Hunting Dog until this very moment. I have to respect him now, I have no other option.
Overall, it was a much more character-driven chapter than some of the ones we've gotten recently but it was insanely fun and keeps me wanting more and more.
“[…] It means, the angels must suffer. Hence, we are the Decay of the Angel.”
_____________________
I never thought I'll say this but, Tachihara my beloved! He was so cool in this volume.
Also, I never thought we'll see that character again but, well, I'm not complaining.
RTC.

The path this series is taking continues to blow my mind every time I read a new chapter. Particularly the last chapter of this volume was a jaw dropper. Unfortunately, though, Bungou Stray Dogs feels like it's coming to a close. Each chapter inches closer and closer to a climactic explosion. Tension has been building for the last 7-8 volumes and it's about ready to burst. We're in the endgame, now.

SO MUCH HAPPENED IM SO STRESSED. First of all I hate the commander so much. AND JOUNO IM SO SAD I knew I was right to love him since the beginning and it paid off!! Until he got turned into a vampire 💔 AND AYA IM SO SCARED FOR HER MY HEART WAS RACING THE WHOLE TIME IM LIKE PLEASE ESCAPE. This is too much for me.

I’ve gained a headache because of the pure chaos. I said to myself “of course there’s vampires, why wouldn’t there be vampires? Everything and anything happens in this bloody story.”
We now have vampires running rampant as well as sadists (who somehow manage to be the least of my concerns), one second I’m wishing death upon a character and the next I’m rooting for them, and not to mention the endless betrayal and bloodshed. We’ve gone from the possibility of civil war to world war and now the threat of world domination has been added in, which I’m sure we’ll lose several characters in the process of stopping it. Many of whom will surely be my favourite characters because why not?
I don’t know how to feel about anything anymore. All I know is that there’s likely carnage approaching and I’ll be pissed off about who dies. 10/10 experience, though! I can’t wait to see how this can possibly get worse for everyone; including myself.

Avant de débuter ce tome, j’avais l’espoir que les choses allaient un peu changer, grâce à Tachihira, membre des Chiens de Garde qui commençait à se douter que les Détectives n’étaient pas si coupable qu’ils n’en avaient l’air, sa place dans la Mafia portuaire l’ayant un peu immunisé des effets de la Page.
Mais Fukuchi est un adversaire redoutable et l’arrivée de Bram Stoker dans son camp m’inquiétait aussi beaucoup.
Je trouve ça un peu émouvant ces personnages qui transcendent les camps en place pour agir de la meilleure façon possible, que ce soit Jôno ou Tachihira qui, avec le double soutien d’Ogai et Mori, est celui qui a le pouvoir de battre l’Amenogozen de Fukuchi. Mais face à un tel adversaire qui anticipe absolument tout et qui peut influer passé et futur, personne n’est vraiment à la hauteur.
Je me suis demandée si une nouvelle organisation allait faire son apparition avec l’Ordre de la Tour de l’Horloge mais il y a déjà fort à faire avec une épidémie de vampires en cours et, face à celle-ci, il n’y a guère que les Détectives armés au grand complet (ou presque, puisque Dazai est visiblement toujours en prison) et leur nouvel objectif en vue, l’Ordre unique, qui peut s’y opposer.
En tout cas, ça complexifie encore une œuvre déjà bien dense, alors que l’arc actuel est encore loin d’être terminé.

I found this series 8 years ago. Back when the first season of the anime came out. Nobody knew about it. I was so confused. How could nobody else see its potential? It was so different, so creative, so original. Why couldn't it just become popular already so I could finally drip out my home in Dazai merch. But no. Of course you raging locals waited A DECADE to lose your minds over this hot garbáge, now that the series is an incoherent fever dream!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even want Dazai merch anymore!!!!!!! He's not even cute annoying at this point, he's just annoying!!!!!!!!! "the number guessing game is too easy, let's play chess from memory" tf!!!!!!!!!! Open your mouth one more time istg!!!!!!!!!! He wasn't even in this volume and he still annoyed me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omfg this guy is such a dick.💀 I'm half impressed by how truly terrifying and undefeatable he is while the other half wants him to get his ass handed to him by literally anyone soooo badly. Like goddamn this series goes so hard in making especially hard as hell bosses?? Lower the difficulty setting already, for fucks sake.
An enemy with a time travelling sword who can attack from the past like absolutely the fuck not my dude.
I loved seeing the agency almost all back together. 🥺 With them going over the enemy's plan and how fucked they are like. I would literally just do what Ranpo said and go home, eat snacks, and then go to bed because all of this is so stressful.
Then people kept getting killed like omg I've had ENOUGH, let's do a beach episode instead.

seeing him like that was brutal
March 31, 2022
No vabbé, io sono senza parole e chissà tra quanti mesi uscirà il volume 22...
Fukuchi Ochi: è lui il protagonista assoluto del volume, l'uomo che sta tirando le fila di questo piano allucinante che mira a distruggere i governi di tutto il mondo. Grazie alla sua fama e alle sue gesta, si è messo nella posizione giusta per diventare la figura a cui rivolgersi in questo momento di puro caos e terrore - l'eroe chiamato, almeno in teoria, a salvare il mondo, ma che in realtà lo sta facendo precipitare sempre più verso il baratro. Già il potere della sua spada, che può viaggiare nello spazio-tempo, è terrificante, ma lui rincara ancora di più la dose con il suo controllo su Bram Stoker, una delle dieci calamità del genere umano (i due si erano affrontati a duello anni prima, probabilmente in previsione di questo momento): il processo di vampirizzazione si è ormai esteso a livello globale, dopo aver fatto danni inenarrabili tra le file della Port Mafia. La situazione è talmente critica che è stato autorizzato l'utilizzo di un particolare dispositivo di controllo mentale chiamato "One Order", che sta per arrivare in Giappone dritto dritto tra le mani della persona più pericolosa di tutte. Ecco perché l'Agenzia al completo, con il supporto di Poe e di Lucy, si sta preparando ad intervenire.
Oltre a questo, il volume ci mostra che i sospetti sull'operato di Fukuchi Ochi non sono sorti solo ai nostri cari detective o al gran capo della Port Mafia, Ogai Mori, ma anche ad un paio di membri dei cani da caccia, che pagheranno a caro prezzo la loro ribellione: Tachihara prima, con l'imbeccata di Mori, e Jono poi cercheranno di fermare il loro superiore, finendo poi vampirizzati. Ma non tutto è ancora perduto, visto che Jono ha pensato bene di cercarsi un testimone oculare che possa raccontare a tutti le malefatte del grande eroe mondiale, il suo ruolo in tutto questo casino. E così sarà una bambina salvata in passato da Kunikida, simbolo del popolo innocente che si sta barcamenando a fatica in mezzo a tutto questo terrore, ad avere il compito di far avere questa testimonianza a più gente possibile. Speriamo che sia ruscita a nascondersi per bene, perché qui cadaveri e vampiri abbondano...
Alcune considerazioni:
- è interessante vedere l'evoluzione dei rapporti di forza all'interno della divisione dei cani da caccia: c'è ancora chi crede ciecamente nelle parole e nelle azioni del comandante, ma c'è chi ha già iniziato a nutrire dei sospetti. Sarà anche un eroe, ma per ben due volte ha ricevuto il due di picche da dei sottoposti che, piuttosto che aiutarlo, si sono fatti ammazzare. Mi chiedo quanto ci vorrà prima che tutti aprano gli occhi;
- il disprezzo del nostro villain per i politicanti è ampiamente condivisibile: sono quelli che mandano avanti gli altri a fare il lavoro sporco e a rischiare la vita, mentre loro se stanno belli belli al sicuro, fregandosene altamente del benessere di sottoposti e cittadini. Fin qui, tutto giusto. Ovviamente, il suo piano è giusto un tantino esagerato e, cosa ancora più importante, con il suo modo di fare dimostra di non essere poi tanto diverso dalle persone che detesta così tanto;
- sono stati nominati di nuovo gli Scudieri della Torre dell'Orologio, la versione europea della Gilda di Fitzgerald, chissà se li vedremo presto in azione. Di sicuro, la comparsa di questo "One Order" rischia di compromettere in maniera irreversibile una situazione già di per sé drammatica;
- è stato bellissimo vedere l'Agenzia tutta unita (o quasi, visto che manca Dazai). Come già detto, il loro punto forte è il lavoro di gruppo. Recuperare la Pagina è diventato di primaria importanza, visto ch è l'unico strumento per riportare tutto alla normalità, eliminare gli effetti della vampirizzazione e mandare a cagare Fukuchi e la sua banda di amichetti. A proposito, chissà che fine hanno fatto Sigma e Gogol?

chapter 89
how hard is it for fukuchi to just give bram an ipod damn. mori omg you are HIM! the scene in the anime >>> "you dropped something" an absolute SLAY
chapter 89.5
mori's strategy is 10/10 he's a genius... if only it all worked out
chapter 90
omg did tachihara just... die (reference from atla ember island players with jett). this is phrase that will be used from here until the future bc where we are now at ch 118 everything seems haha kinda hopeless! but no spoilers.
chapter 91
the ada and allies have rly nice powers like the ability to hide in either anne's room or poe's novel they should stay there forever and let the world go to purge (b99 hitchcock reference). every time there's a mori panel i go feral. calling sigma the manager part of the doa is kinda funny does he really do anything. erm why does anyone even have that kinda powerful weapon idc the reasons they gave imo just blow it up.

Ughhhh, now I despise Fukuchi. Is his end goal really world domination? How lame. Why is it an old middle-aged man who wants the world to be destroyed under his control? It's like the old Port Mafia boss all over again.
Tachihara did not deserve what happened to him. First, Fukuchi takes his eyes and then stabs him, and then he gets bit by Bram. Ugh. I was starting to really like him too, especially when him and Mori teamed up, and he almost was able to kill Fukuchi...but of course that didn't happen since Fukuchi has some unbeatable skill. Also, poor Jouno. Like Tachihara, he didn't deserve what happened to him either, stupid Fukuchi. Soon, all the Hunting Dog's will be gone. I mean, doesn't Fukuchi think Tecchou will notice that Jouno is gone? Well, at least Jouno was smart enough to rely on that girl Kunikida helped save in the past to spread the word about Fukuchi and his vampire Bram. I'm hoping she can do it.

Fukuchi compie un massacro dietro l'altro, il suo potere pare infallibile e inattaccabile. Tutti periscono davanti a lui, nemici e purtroppo anche sottoposti. Ma forse il punto debole che lo farà capitolare si trova proprio dove meno se l'aspetta, come detto da Jōno. Quest'ultimo lo considero il personaggio rivelazione del volume. Criptico fin dalla sua prima apparizione davanti a Dazai e poi contro l'Agenzia, qui finalmente conosciamo un po' di più Jōno, il suo potere (fighissimo) e cosa lo ha spinto ad essere quello che è. Particolare e fumoso, continua a incutermi un certo timore misto ad attrazione.
Comunque, io sono sempre più convinta che Stoker non sia uno dei veri componenti del gruppo terroristico, o meglio lo è diventato a forza (vedendo le condizioni in cui versa poi...). Ho già un'idea ben precisa di chi potrebbe esserci davvero dietro di lui e dietro a tutti gli altri componenti. Staremo a vedere se ci ho azzeccato o meno.

Bref, « Bungo Stray Dogs » reste une valeur sûre. J’aime toujours autant le concept autour des personnages, j’aime la dynamique des combats, les alliances qui se font et défont et les rebondissements qui nous laissent pantois. J’ai eu un gros coup de cœur sur le flashback de Yosano et une petite déception sur le pouvoir de l’ennemi N°1 de l’Agence. Je dirais que la seule chose qui peut rebuter les lecteurs sur cette série, c’est l’incapacité des personnages principaux (et parfois même secondaires) à mourir malgré les circonstances et cela à cause de certains pouvoirs surnaturels.
