as a bsd fan of 7 years... im absolutely sure he's gonna be okay. Not only that, but so will akutagawa, fukuzawa, etc, and im certain of this exactly because dazai died.

theres a reason why so many mistake bsd for a shounen, even though it's not - most of the main cast, well, cant die. but! that doesn't mean they are untouchable.

others have said this before as well, but bsd at its core is hopeful - it's about second chances, doing good, finding a reason to live, even if you yourself feel like you don't deserve it anymore. therefore, killing off the the character who stands prominently from the start for this would not fit the narrative at all.

now, before dazai died, i wasnt 100% sure akutagawa would live, but now it's all just too grim to be true. my theory is that they gonna reverse time, possibly before the page was written or that destroying the page will result in the same.

as to how they gonna get to that, i wont even attempt to guess, but two things to note: asagiri is balls to the walls insane, and a recurring pattern is little people who "shouldnt matter" turning the tides on a grand scale (e.g. aya, tachihara, ranpo's detective buddy, etc). so i expect it's either gonna be someone we forgot about (where's mori?? or kyouka??) or aya's plan working, or some other character who hadnt had much screentime thus far (agatha christie? natsume?).

either way, those stray dogs are gonna live, they just gotta die first a bit <3

love loses 😔💔
