Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 1 (light novel): Osamu Dazai's Entrance Exam (Bungo Stray Dogs (Light Novel))

Product Information

He may be able to manipulate gravity, but my legs are far longer than his. He couldn't possibly outrun me." I watched the stage play before and couldn't help but imagine some of the actors' expressions in certain moments and it just made everything even better. Ueda Keisuke is so perfect for playing Chuuya and I'm so glad he was able to shine there. I hope they'll animate this one day. Esta novela es un regalo para cualquier fan de Bungô que ha conseguido que Akutagawa y Atsushi me encanten como personajes. Pero el que me ha enamorado, más de lo que ya me tenía, ha sido Dazai (y eso que aparece poco). ¡Si hasta me ha emocionado y me ha hecho sufrir con sus últimas palabras! Gracias a esto le he dado 5⭐, por tocarme la fibra sensible, si no, lo puntuaría con cuatro, pues las descripciones de las peleas a veces se alargaban más de la cuenta para mi gusto y quitaban hueco a otro tipo de escenas más dramáticas o divertidas, por ejemplo. Además, he echado en falta más momentos de Dazai con Chûya y Oda. Habría llorado como una magdalena si este último hubiera escuchado lo que debía escuchar (quiénes lo hayáis leído me entenderéis 😭).

Last but not least, Dazai, yet again the mastermind of everything, though this time I can surely say Chuuya is the one who gives him ✨hope✨. I'm sorry Dazai but u seem to have lost this round 👀 DING DONG! I'M WRONG! I'M TOTALLY WRONG. EVEN IF I have already finished the manga, it doesn't matter. Even if I haven't read the manga beforehand, it doesn't matter. Even if I jump straight into this book without knowing the plot, it doesn't matter. Chuuya is my favorite character and seeing him go from "So I am human, after all. I feel stupid letting something like this bother me in the first place…" to "Whose heartbeat is it, then? Mine? That's absurd. I'm not even human. Something as sophisticated as a heart wouldn't suit me." broke me. I got goosebumps just reading the beginning when it's mentioned he doesn't dream. To the people who have read or watched bungou stray dogs, or kin any of the characters, or feel that its relatable, PLEASE get therapy. I read that book a few days ago, and I couldn't stop myself from reading the next volume eventhough I have my end of year exam in 2 weeks.I thought it would be no use for me to read the light novel too, thinking I'd rather read the manga anyway. I mean.. I've already emotionally destroyed by the manga, right? I won't again been destroyed by the light novel too....... right ? una delle top review che goodreads mi mostra per questo libro è "all gay people do is hurt me" e onestamente non posso che trovarmi d'accordo, quindi freeboterò la frase e inizio la mia review così. ok ora as much as it pains me devo fare una critica :D mi ha leggermente dato fastidio che ci fossero così tanti deus ex machina, perché ceh n è spuntato a caso ma okay come lo introduci ma volete dirmi che adam tira fuori una funzione utilissima guarda caso proprio nel momento del bisogno??? boh una menzione frivola all'inizio si poteva fare mi sarebbe piaciuto di più MA VABBEEEE

I love the way he build relationships between Akutagawa and Atsushi with the other characters. I even love it the way he gave us brief view of how it would be for shin soukoku if they meet in a normal world. A life with someone you can say good-bye to is a good life, especially when it hurts so much to say it" Ah, ah, ah— Dazai cerró los ojos y dijo con una sonrisa soñadora—. Finalmente está aquí. El momento por el que había esperado. Estoy complacido, realmente estoy complacido… pero, me arrepiento de algo. No podré leer la novela cuando la termines.” The play begins, and Fukuzawa scans the theater to find the possible killer. He spots a suspicious man, but Ranpo stubbornly complains during the play. Though he tries to calm him, Fukuzawa soon finds Ranpo desperately shouting among the crowd on why nobody understands him, after which Fukuzawa brings him out of the theater hall. He discovers that Ranpo's parents essentially sealed away his skill for him to learn about the world like an ordinary person, knowing that society will come off as strange to him. However, Ranpo is left unguided after their deaths, causing him to misunderstand the world before he can fully comprehend it.

The fight with Verlaine was so intense. Even though I knew the outcome I still ended up holding my breath reading some parts. Fukuzawa treats Ranpo to red bean porridge, where the boy talks about his bewilderment towards adults, his expulsions at school and work, and his genius parents. Figuring that Ranpo is quite special, Fukuzawa allows the boy to come with him amidst his initial reluctance. They soon arrive at a theater, where Fukuzawa is hired to apprehend a criminal after receiving a death threat signed by an ambiguous "V". They are met by the manager, Egawa, who shows Fukuzawa the note regarding the murder, which Ranpo thinks will happen. Since A-P does not list these titles separately, this review will have to combine my thoughts on the titles I have read. I loved reading about the characters introduced in chapter one you know- lipman, pianoman, doc,etc. I'm still sad all of them died :( I was really loving those guys... Tanizaki suggests having him solve a case among their requests, while Dazai pulls out an exam outline, both of which Kunikida chides for their impracticality. Kenji Miyazawa arrives and suggests testing the newcomer against his strength and other unfeasible tasks, which they all reject. Yosano recommends rather painful suggestions, while Kunikida proposes ideas having to do with assaulting Dazai, which they also reject. Naomi Tanizaki offers them some refreshments, so Dazai asks for her suggestions for the exam. She blushes upon suggesting three ideas, which are left undisclosed to readers.
