#should i add the ship tsgs

[dazai-on-my-mind]

Shaking the bars of my enclosure every time I think about how Asagiri purposely wrote all the relationships in BSD to be so impactful and complex that not only adds to the characters individual arcs but also has a major impact on the story.

Like how did you write something so unapologetically queer, state that yes the bonds each character has go beyond simple titles and then have it all actually matter to the plot????

YOU WANT ME TO NORMAL AFTER THIS ASAGIRI
