irl Dazai Osamu’s wife’s comment about his fear of dogs is the cutest thing I have read today.
From “Self Portraits” - a collection of short stories by Dazai Osamu.

Something about his solitude is so charming to me.

A summary for 102.5 👀

When bsd ends, maybe I will cry a little bit.
82
Yet another book I bought years ago but haven’t read till now lol. It introduces the rl authors who appear in Bsd, with a lot of fun facts about them ☺️
83
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.
84
“People who only think about dying are those who are too serious about living.”
Happy Birthday, Dazai.
85
Bsd has like 8 light novels published so far yet Asagiri has managed to have Dazai die twice, stabbed and poisoned once, shot once, time bombed once, robbed of his best friend once (twice, actually, if u count Beast in) and I haven’t even mentioned the day I picked up Dazai yet.
86
Sometimes I wonder if Dazai ever hears Oda’s voice in his head like how Atsushi hears him, then I realize that it makes more sense for Dazai to hear nothing at all, as the dead is never coming back, and he will never know if Oda will be proud of him or not.

I dont want to sleep because tomorrow is Monday so let me drop some fun facts from Harukawa-sensei notes on the slip covers of the manga.
88
Btw I don’t think Chuuya will die. Dazai may or may not have a plan to save Chuuya, but he still won’t die.

Ch101 summary in case anyone need it.

Its weird but I am so in love with the fact that Dazai is just consistently messed up in his head.
91
And then the next fucking page he goes like, “My bad, actually there was none. So yeah, goodbye.”
92
#spoilers
…
He goes like goodbye Chuuya. What a pity things turned out like this. Its been 7 years since we first met and we had been fighting all the time but when I think about it, there were times when we were connected at heart too, for example…
94
fuck Dazai literally single-handedly brought down the whole prison troop…
95
Dazai thinking Sigma is honest and somewhat like Atsushi 🤣
96
A novel, a manga and a live action are not enough. I need to see Beast!Dazai jump off the building in anime style too 🥲
97
Honestly I prefer things that make senses but if Asagiri ever decides to bring Oda back to life I don’t need those senses anymore.
98
I never knew there are Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts goods in anime style 👀
99
So it seems that when they were still considering which part of bsd to be made into a movie, Asagiri made two suggestions. One is BEAST, and the other is Dark Era.
100
There is a part in the cast interview in the BEAST movie pamphlet where Taniguchi (Oda’s actor) describes Dazai and Oda’s friendship as between one who wants to “create the story” and one who wants to “end the story” and I find that take pretty interesting.
