Ok, so here is Bungou Stray Dogs Wan! the “Mafia goes to public bath” episode. I will typeset the other 3 pages later, but for now this is page 2. See you… OR IS IT?
When researching for the mackerel thing Chuuya said above (the actual is something like blue mackerel) I came across a section of the Dazai Osamu Novel. AFAIK it’s a sort of commentary on his life from the point of view of Kazuo Dan, one of his friends and colleagues. I still can’t find a full version anywhere, but here’s the thing: in December 1934, Dazai, Kazuo and a few more writers came together to publish a literary magazine called Aoi Hana. It did set back his suicide attempts for like a year (the magazine was discontinued after one issue) but that was when Dazai Osamu first met Nakahara Chuuya, and boy is it a pickle.
This is long so I’ll put it under a read more, and note that I will refer to IRL Nakahara Chuuya as Nakahara and BSD Nakahara Chuuya (if any) as Chuuya. I don’t think you’ll need any distinction between RL and BSD Dazai.
