Manga Discussion Bungo Stray Dogs

[Light D Lamperouge]

Should have made this thread way sooner, but here we are.

Synopsis

Nakajima Atsushi was kicked out of his orphanage, and now he has no place to go and no food. While he is standing by a river, on the brink of starvation, he rescues a man whimsically attempting suicide. That man is Dazai Osamu, and he and his partner Kunikida are members of a very special detective agency. They have supernatural powers, and deal with cases that are too dangerous for the police or the military. They're tracking down a tiger that has appeared in the area recently, around the time Atsushi came to the area. The tiger seems to have a connection to Atsushi, and by the time the case is solved, it is clear that Atsushi's future will involve much more of Dazai and the rest of the detectives!

The series also has an amazing anime with great animation and a wonderful soundtrack.

Wait, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edgar Allen Poe are characters in this series? I was already kinda intrigued, but that’s spiked my curiosity...

Every character in the series is named after a famous writer. Osamu Dazai from Japan and the rest of the Japanese names, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Gogol from Russia, Mark Twain, Agatha Christie, Nathaniel Hawthorne, H.P. Lovecraft, all of them are in the manga. And their works are the names of their abilities. You'll see if you check it out. It's pretty interesting.

Do it.

Osamu Dazai and Fyodor Dostoyevsky mainly because I have read books of both characters from the author their character is after. So, kinda make their character feel more alive.
