mods, feel free to delete if inappropriate to /m/

There have been a lot of posts about BSD in the husbando thread so I thought it might be a wise idea to make this thread.

To kickstart the thread, here are some questions for my dear nonnas:

-Who's your favorite character?

-Do you have a favorite arc?

-What's your favorite ship?

-What's your favorite light novel/spin off?

-Any hope or expectation for season 4 or the manga's continuation? (turtle smiles)

Thank you for starting the thread (but is probably going to be a slow one).
Isn't there a gacha game? Anyone plays it?

The gacha game is called BSD: Mayoi Inu Kaikitan. It's kinda annoying to play like most gacha games are but i think the cards have really nice art (much better than most the anime official art like pic related)

Thank you for making the thread nonners! I'm not sure if I'll watch S4, but I'm excited for more Chuuya screen time. I hope people will make new AMVs just to use the latest 30s of footage they so reluctantly gave us.
His potential is totally wasted IMO. I've heard Asagiri never uses him because he's too OP, they have to write him out because they know if he's there then he can win any battle with ease. I wish we could have a Chuuya spin-off like STORMBRINGER, an entire series. This is just wishful thinking though. I just like him so much I can't help it.

You're cute, nona. I think it's sad that in the main manga, Chuuya is treated more like a prop for Dazai than anything else. But on the bright side, it's very likely Storm Bringer will get animated as the opening OVA since it's the natural sequel to Fifteen and also studio bones released some art of Verlaine a few months ago.

Spoilers for chapter 101 i'm sure he'll be more relevant in coming chapters because there's no way he actually died

In terms of raw power, he's completely unmatched but Dazai's defection from the mafia also means he can't use corruption on his own without dying.

also if you like his voice, i feel obligated to let you know about kare pillow volume 2

Is the manga better than the anime? I liked the first season of bsd but the second one was…. pretty retarded ngl. I was gonna ask if it's worth continuing but obviously this thread is gonna say yes since it's a fan thread kek

i think most bsd fans agree the manga is way better than the anime especially after the guild arc, i think you should give it a try. Chapter 38 is the cutoff between the second and third season

If you think the plot of season 2 is retarded then you would be absolutely BTFO by how crazy/stupid it's been in the current arc. I prefer the manga simply because the visuals are better and I can read it fairly quickly, but if you're not already invested in the story or the characters then I'd advise you to drop it.

what makes you feel that way, nona? i think the cannibalism arc is the peak of the main manga and it's true the fukuchi shit's been going on for too long but if the current arc has a satisfying conclusion, i think it'll be regarded highly in hindsight. if november chapter is another fukuzawa/fukuchi POV, i'm offing myself

Thinking about it more, I think it is just my personal tastes. I've always thought the storylines were kind of weird, so when Bram showed up I was like "ok I guess this is happening…" and haven't been able to take the plot seriously ever since. Hopefully everything can be neatly resolved in a way that's satisfying. and then have all the relevant characters shelved, never to be seen again, kek

kek nonnie, it's understandable. BSD has always been kinda goofy since it actively requires you to shelve all your knowledge of the real life moid authors to enjoy the cute guys.

asagiri got sent death threats by chinese SKK shippers over a tweet they interpreted as mocking of chuuya so god knows how they will react if he DID die. to be honest the idea of a man being threatened by teen girls/young women kinda make me laugh so i dont care but it's still funny. from a business standpoint, alienating SKK shippers is a very bad idea since probably 75% of extremely dedicated bsd fans are that.

so, who do you think will die in the next chapters/arcs? and also who do you think will switch over to port mafia like mori said when he rescued them from the hunting dogs

i think fyodor will die because he's full of poison and drowning as of now.. one or two members of the HD might die too, i think tachihara. And tanizaki might join the mafia since it's been hinted at

to start, i picked up the gacha recently, because i saw it mentioned here and was curious to see how it played. so far i like it fine–the cards are pretty sweet–but it's left me with an itch to check out the source material, as up until now, i've been skipping all the cutscenes just to get through the game chapters.

would you recommend starting the manga or the anime first? i intend to get to both eventually, but wanted opinions from those better versed in the series, so i could determine my jumping-off point. thanks for your time, nonnas!

hey nona, i'm really happy to see this thread sparked interest in BSD for you. I think it depends on your personal tastes; do you like fast-paced action scenes? then the anime might be a better fit but if you mostly like pretty boys and interesting stories then the manga. If you start with the manga and it hooks you in, you can read the light novels since they're part of the story (especially ''dazai and the dark era'').
Season 4 will air in January so it's one of the best times to catch up, I hope you have fun and you tell us your thoughts about it ♥

i'm back to say that the manga was excellent and that Chuuya is my favorite–btw wtf i finally choose a husbando to moon over and suddenly he might be drowning as a vampire?? ;_; but i just got here damn it!! (don't get me wrong, i get the feeling that he isn't actually going to die, but i absolutely hate cliffhangers.) i haven't been able to get to any of the other media yet due to time constraints, but i'm really excited to start the first season of the anime sometime this week!

Nona, I finished it and it really was amazing although it was really angsty. I had been spoiled on it before but giving the Flags such nice designs and skills only for them to die 30 pages later made me sad. They only died because Lippman and Pianoman would be more popular than Chuuya and Dazai otherwise lmao. Albatross is so cute and he's the one who gave the motorcycle to Chuuya in DA!. I absolutely loved Adam too, the ultimate nigel. Verlaine was kinda an absolute pathetic hater but he feels endearing to me and Rimbaud/Verlaine is a perfect ship. Shirase bouncing back was funny. I know he wasn't the focus of the LN at all but 16 year old Dazai in his shipping container was so cute to me. Did you read Beast and The Day I picked up Dazai, nona?

>>248338
I'm so glad you enjoyed the manga nona!!! don't worry, chuuya is too popular to die, there's no way.. aku on the other hand… Beyond the anime, you can read the 15 LN (it's also the first three episodes of season 3) and Stormbringer for Chuuya's backstory if you have the time/resources!

Finally up to date with the main manga after 3(ish ?) years of being out of touch with BSD altogether and I am absolutely losing it kek I don't even know where to start. I've really missed the whole party…And by party I mean LITERAL 5D CHESS WITH MULTIVERSE TIME TRAVEL, of course.

>Ha ha, I knew that you'd order a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s one with cheese and a large soda !
>Ha ha, I knew that you knew !
>I knew that you knew that I knew !
>You fools… I knew that he knew that you knew that he knew !

And the more "frontline battle" parts are kind of like kids larping at recess and trying to make their character more OP than the others' as they go. "We got you Dylan, you lost !" "No I didn't because uuuuh… My Supramegasword right there can cut into the past and future too !" Except there's no point at which any of the kids get bored and take a break, it just goes on forever. It's gonna be okay now that I'll be reading along the release, and this arc will probably be good in hindsight if the ending doesn't suck, but reading it all the way through at once and as is, the pace feels like you're in a car with no brakes going downwards a steep slope at incredible speed but the slope is so long you're starting to get bored from the fact you haven't crashed yet. Struggle after struggle and even more struggle with zero breaks… With all these damn turns, the prestige better be the best thing ever written by man. I want my surprised face back, Asagiri.

I was SO GLAD when ya boi Nikolai finally said sike though. Not that his death was remotely believable (the sheer waste of potential that would have been) but by the time I got too busy and stopped reading, I was starting to wonder if I should revive him myself kek. I'm a bit hyped by the jailbreak game but also a bit sad that it's probably going to be revealed as part of the plan like everything else, then he's going to ACTUALLY kill himself to be free from "God" but once again it will all have been part of the keikaku within the keikaku. After which I WILL necro him myself in order to write his silly magical adventures as a funky lil criminal dude trying to build his ultimate whimsical museum of stolen goods, out of a need to cope with my own despair over the fact that he wasn't allowed to give a true middle finger to the fyozai brain measuring contest.

Anyway, time to go super sperg mode and read everything else there is to read

>>249230
I don't think the wawa will die like this, he'll be cured from his lung disease by the whole vampire thing probably since that would be the most convenient and an opportunity for character development. Maybe at some point in the very last chapters idk but cutting his storyline too short would be shit tier writing.

Yup, it's kind of what I expect too, that would fit right into the whole theme of authors having godlike powers and stuff. But besides what's going on in the actual story, there's also the brain duel between Asagiri and us. Meaning : We know what will happen, but he knows that we know, and so on.

there's a running joke in east asian side of the fandom that odasaku is his self-insert character and that's why he pushes dazai x odasaku so much even though it's not that popular commercially. It's probably exaggerated but he definitely ships them and enjoys writing angsty light novels featuring them. beast makes it kinda canon dazai is in love with odasaku but you could argue canon!dazai and beast aren't the same if you really hate this ship

I'm not sure but it does feel jarring when the plot points keep piling up and none of them is getting resolved at all. BSD having a designed deus ex machina (the book) doesn't make me feel optimistic in that respect. Did you enjoy it, nona?

i did enjoy it! i somehow managed to go in completely blind story-wise so imagine my surpise about how crazy it is. the only thing i found myself confused about is how short the newest chapters are, since as you said, there's a lot of plot points piling up and barely any progress in a chapter.

>>259585
i'm pretty hyped tbh! some of my favorite manga moments–Yosano's back story and Chuuya's helicopter rescue, among others–will be in this season, so i'm really looking forward to it! Chuuya especially is looking very nice. i thought Sigma looked okay, a little flat, maybe, but that might just be the art style of the anime. it is unfortunate they took away his high heels, though. pretty men can't have shit, i guess. :/
but what about you, nonna? are there any particular story beats you're looking forward to?

>>259641
I think it was funny they spoiled Chuuya's only scene in S4 for the sake of the trailer although Stormbringer might be animated to give him more screentime like Fifteen was!
I'm really really excited to see Dazai in prison. Even in the manga, the scene where he shows up in Meursault blew me away because until that point, he had mostly been drifting along the flow but seeing him get captured on purpose made me realize ''wow he's really in for it''. Also it's funny and pretentious how him and Fyodor interact! One scene I'm particularly interested in is the Oda flashback!!
I can't wait to see Kunikida's scene in the helicopter, the Hunting Dogs' entrance (Jouno!!!!!!!!!! Jouno!!), the Thou Shall Not Die times four scene, Yosano's backstory, Tachihara's reveal . I think it's highly promising as the most action-packed arc.

Sadly, in other news, the latest chapter revealed thatFukuzawa appears to have been killed by Fukuchi which bodes very poorly for the agency and Fukuchi is pressuring the government to release the One Order thing What do you think of this development?

>>259984
i feel Fukuzawa's potential death could be taken a couple of ways. either the manga goes through with it, upping the ante, which is certain to take the plot to interesting places–for instance, how are Atsushi and Kyoka going to fair with their abilities, considering a lot of their control of them pretty much hinges on being affected by All Men Are Equal?–or it's one of those open ended type deals–because who doesn't love cliffhangers?–where we cut away for a few chapters, come back later and everything is fine, which seems to be a favorite tactic of Asagiri's. either way, until we get something more concrete, i'm taking the most recent chapter as just another ploy to keep readers emotionally invested.

happy 105 release date, 8 pages long
summary

Atsushi is faced with turmoil and hallucinations as he ponders what the right thing to do is upon hearing the DOA goal. Images of the ADA, Dazai, Fitzgerald and Akutagawa are urging him to leave the room he was previously locked him. In Meursault, Dazai and Sigma play rock paper scissors, Dazai teaches him how to win and that there's no such thing as supergenius man or ordinary man, only little tricks. No mention of the drowning duo

Dazai and Akutagawa's relationship is reversed from real life. In real life, Dazai greatly admired Akutagawa and his suicide is one of the reasons Dazai spiraled so much. That particular picture comes from an incident where Dazai suicidebaited the Akutagawa Prize (literary prize) jury into giving him the award (he didnt get it)

Just finished episode 3, I enjoyed the focus on Fukuzawa and Ranpo so much that I almost don't want to go back to the main plotline. I'd definitely love a spin-off in this prequel timeline with them as the main characters.

Sorry ahead of time for my massive sperg, but something I don't appreciate about the bsd fandom is how little content there is of characters and pairings that are not the most popular ones like soukoku. I can appreciate soukoku, but it's like this black hole that sucks up most of the fandom's attention, obliterating the potential for other pairs or characters to get content. and don't get me started on shin soukoku because I personally dislike it and I want to be respectful to nonis who like that ship I've been in plenty of other fandoms where the less popular pairings still get plenty of attention from their own dedicated fans, but oddly this isn't much the case with bsd, and the content that there is of both skk and these other pairings is often on the shitty side imo. At least it's like that on ao3 when you sort by most kudos, while in past fandoms that was a decent way to find decent content. Not for bsd. Again I like most popular ships myself but god damn people, branch out. It's probably because most of the fans are minors or so it seems like, they also post hate on any ships that aren't fandom mainstream, it's fuckin weird. Even if it's not problematic they will literally make up reasons to shit on your ship. And if it's problematic, well you're probably used to the treatment that gets, so it isn't that different I guess. I admit some of my ships are inconsequential rarepair tier but I had better experiences with those in other fandoms so yeah I don't get it. Even the popular ones I like, they fucking butcher by turning them bland, including in fanart. Outside of ships, I can't even find decent Dostoyevsky/reader, now how can that be? Anyway, I'll make content myself if I have to. I wouldn't usually complain since I've liked niche characters/pairings before and know it's not others' responsibility to provide, but this a shockingly different ballgame than what I'm used to. So many cute boys to mess with, ones with obvious potential, and it's squandered. God bless the girlies posting short pwp of random ships because at least it's something different even if I don't care for it myself

I like the fact that dazai is not built like a stick here.

So when's the season ending and are we getting a season 5? No way we'll actually get to sskk fight at this rate?

I just finished reading manga. This concept is very silly and some dynamics between characters are annoying if you know about their namesakes' interactions, but they are very cute and written for women so I can mostly ignore it kek.

>My fear right now is that everything will be for naught once the ADA gets their hand on the book and basically use it as deus ex machina to rentcon the entire arc especially since Bram's introduction. It's heading there unfortunately
That's the impression I got but I wouldn't be mad if the writer retconned this entire arc, or even finished with an open ending then wrote some one-shots instead of dragging out the main series. The overarching story is honestly not very good, I think he failed to plan out entire series and now he's struggling with too many 200IQ guys playing 4d chess. It's too late to start killing important (good) characters when the entire thing so far was a power-of-frendship style escapism. Radical tone change would be trashy and bad for sales imo.
What do you nonnas think about the latest chapter(s)?

I agree that at this point it might be better to just let the good guys win for the hell of it because he doesn't know where else to go with the story. The only thing left that has potential to be interesting is Fyodor's intentions imo because he's the only character we don't know the weakness of. Other characters' plots in this arc progress so slowly but at least we got to Sigma touching Fyodor. It has potential to be the worst reveal ever too though, it's been hyped for too long by the author. If it ends up something we had no way of guessing like the cat lady time stop bullshit I'll lose interest in the manga all together lol why put thought into planning your arcs when you can just create an off screen solution that totally has been in the plans all along guys!!
>latest chapters
I don't feel that it's any different than the whole arc. We keep cycling between the same conflicts with the same characters. In the latest chapter it seems like some things are finalising but if there's one thing I know about BSD it's that all the characters will end up living again. We're at the climax even though it doesn't feel like it, Fukuchi opened One Order so Dazai and Sigma and all the vampires will probably end up alive due to some big thing happening with the book as the good guys' side's response to the first spoilered part.

Absolutelly nothing interesting happened in the newest chapter kek.

So the anime cut the latest chapters and killed Fyodor…. Okay… Are we supposed to assume the manga author explained to them the ending in his mind or did they just do whatever they want? Other than BSD I'm not a big mangafag, I just watch animes so I don't know what happened in other adaptations where the anime ended before the manga

He probably had a draft of an ending chapter ready before they started animating this season.

I doubt Fyodor is dead. Are you telling me that rat ass survived anything and something as mundane as that can kill him?. I hope the explanation in the manga.

New manga chapter seems to be exactly like anime. I hope they'll go through rest of the asspulls in 3 chapters or less.
Can't wait to see the new arc of 4d chess and bs powers no one could predict kek.

So what do you think of the new chapter, nonnas? It's short af, I hope next month's chapter is a bit longer tho.

My honest reaction was holy Hell, if Fukushi arc wasn't insufrible enough, now we have to deal with Russian Gary Stu

The one I hope is not Dazai being killed for the sake of humanity only to find that this wasn't Fyodor's full form

For real, Fukuchi is so insufferable. What do you mean that you're strong, but Akutagawa and Atsushi could've took you out if it wasn't for the sword kek. He's so pathetic to me lmfao.
I hope so too. Maybe Dazai would pull a fake death tbh, pretty much every character seems immortal, even Fukuchi (ew). If not, maybe Fukuzawa would use his ability on Dazai and get him alive somehow.

Picrel is me genuinely hoping that Fyodor was actually dead. I do kinda like him in Bran's fit kek. Can't wait for next month tho, this chapter was so short and the cliffhanger made it worse for now.
