Do u know what Oda said to Dazai when he was patting his head in the last scene of Dark Era stage play, which was not shown in the DVD? He said: “Thank you. I’ll leave the rest to you.” It was confirmed by Taniguchi, Oda’s actor in the last curtain call.

Verlaine: My brother is lighter than I thought it makes me worried as a brother, so I have been making him the “bento” that Gin taught me. Gin said that her brother also got a weak body so she often makes things that are good for him. → twitter.com/bungosd_anime/…

Anyone knows japanese.io?
It's a great source of Japanese classic literature, where you can read works of many BSD's real-life authors, with furiganas to aid with your reading. You can also click on a word to look up its meaning as you read. I totally recommend it.

Q: Can you introduce yourself?
Chuuya: Huh, isn’t it proper manner to introduce yourself first before asking for someone’s name? Come on, say your name.
… Nah whatever. Knowing your name doesn’t do me any good anyway.
My name? How persistent!
Chuuya! Nakahara Chuuya! (cont) twitter.com/bungosd_anime/…
