What If" and "If Only" are two sides of the same coin - one speaks of possibility and potential while the other of loss and that which will never come to be. This entry into the Bungo Stray Dogs universe captures both of them as it presents a version of the world where Atsushi joins a Port Mafia that Dazai never left while Akutagawa joins an Armed Detective Agency where Odasaku fills Dazai's place. Master Chuuya is the kind of person who will never abandon those who have helped him, even if they end up abandoning him.”

I'll try to write this review without any spoilers hahahhaha I've spoilt a lot in my updates so yes, hopefully this will be a spoiler-free review. Oh I can't forget Chuuya's "I'm this close to snapping your robot ass in two! I'm still growing, damn it!" or the moments where Adam was swallowing gum and Chuuya looked at him disgusted. il fatto che abbia segnato 72 quotes ALLA PRIMA LETTURA non è rassicurante, dato che di solito ne segno intorno alle 20 e poi quando rileggo finisco per aggiungerne come minimo il doppio (sei di corvi i'm looking at you), quindi ceh se mai mi venisse la malsanissima idea di rileggere questo concentrato di dolore cosa faccio, sottolineo direttamente tutto il libro?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 👀 chuuya ma li mortacci tua, proprio un personaggio così devastato come te dovevo kinnare? non penso che ci sia stato momento per tutto il libro in cui non l'abbia sentito vicino, dai momenti silly in cui insultava (deserved) dazai a quelli più depressi in cui pensava che la sua nascita fosse stata un errore (poi s'è ripigliato grazie al cielo) e che fosse una persona che si spendeva troppo per gli altri e che aveva paura di aprirsi con i suoi amici. The only comfort i found is the fact that both Atsushi, Akutagawa, even Kyouka and Gin, was finally able to be free and are finally on a right journey to find themself, their own happiness, without their past hanging around them.

io non penso che ci sia un altro modo per descrivere questo light novel se non: pain and suffering, sia di me che leggo sia di chuuya. 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 Just once, I want you to imagine just how much it could affect a person if you told them they weren't human."For his final journal entry, Rimbaud wrote having gifted Verlaine with a bowler hat that could control command sequences using ability metal powder. Later, with Verlaine put to sleep, N—having killed his Mafia captors—remotely unleashes Demonic Beast Guivre, the singularity living inside Verlaine. With Verlaine succumbing to the beast, Chūya and Adam get swallowed inside, while Guivre tramples on everything in its path, including N, and heads towards Yokohama. After Chūya is shown Verlaine's memories on how Guivre was thwarted nine years ago, Adam initiates his Final Protocol, his secret mission, and sacrifices himself to incinerate Guivre using the Shell built inside him, but to little avail. Using Verlaine's memory and as per Verlaine's plea to his brother, Arahabaki Chūya unleashes his energy on Guivre and defeats it.
