as much as it emotionally destroyed me, i do have to say those last two pages of bsd 109 are like. the perfect cliffhanger. and i'm kind of super glad bsd releases monthly rather than weekly so it can actually hold the weight it was given

#bsd 109 #sorry i read mark of athena the week after it came out and now i have a mild obsession with how the act of waiting for resolution #after a cliffhanger enhances the story #don't get me wrong. it's absolutely excruciating and i NEED to know what happens next Right Now Immediately #but if bsd released weekly i'd get to the end of the chapter and i'd be like. it's okay it's okay only seven days #and the ending of the chapter wouldn't have as much impact. you know?#but having to wait a month means i'm looking back at the end and i'm trying to tease out anything i may have missed the first twelve times #i examined the page #and the interjection of the panels of dazai / sskk / fukuzawa taking the bottom half of the penultimate page--#SO GOOD!!!!#we were talking in one of my classes last semester abt how the penultimate move is JUST as important as the ending and ohhhh it was pieced #together SO WELL in this chapter #and the slanting of the panels on the penultimate page as opposed to the straight horizontal ones on the last #increasing anxiety as aya is trying to push the table #then calming as it's finally falling #only to end right there #oooohh i have so many brain worms sorry #i'll stop writing an english major essay in these tags now #hello grace here
