Thinking about the aggressive regulation of people's behavior and specifically of the social roles of men and women during the Edo period, the Medicine Seller's "No one has the right to control another person" line comes across as a comment not just on the "Bakeneko" story specifically but on the state of Japanese society as a whole.

Tips for new players of Bungou Mayoi
(Aka, learn from my mistakes. This is just my opinion, other people can add their own)
Bungou Mayoi, or Bungou Tales of the Lost, is a mobile game of Bungou Stray Dogs. It’s a gacha game combined with marbles shooting game. There are a bit of RPG combination too. The game is fun, although can be tedious in grinding for level up items.
Here are the things I noticed while playing. Mind you, I only played the NA version so I can’t talk anything about JP version.
1. SAVE. YOUR. MOONS. I can’t stress this enough. Save your moons. Hoard them like a dragon hoarding treasures. Do daily missions everyday and in a week you can get up to 70 moons. That means you can pull for 11x once each month. But save them. Don’t bother pulling for permanent pool characters, you always have a chance of spooked by them when you are pulling for the limited ones. Don’t be trapped by the bonus only 15 moons once each day, they won’t give you anything unless you are super lucky. The game is super generous (unlike some other gacha focused game like FGO) and you can get a lot of moons for every maintenance and debut of new characters. They also compensate of moons you will be unable to get from daily missions if their maintenance last more than a day. You can also get moons for achieving titles (you can get titles by using a character for X amount of time. It’s easier if you use multiple characters silver title than achieving platinum which needs 1000 times, since the achievement is counting how many titles you have and not their rank). DON’T SPEND MOONS TO SHINE THE MARBLE. JUST BE PATIENT. You will hardly use SSR ticket anyway since SSR tickets only can be used on permanent gacha pulls.
2. Clear every chapters of story and events. You will get 5 moons for every stage you clear in a chapter in battle stage. You can get up to 15 moons each stage for very hard difficulty on events. Mind you, there are 3 kind of events. Points events like the summer swimsuit event and chinatown event (they usually have certain characters that will boost the items drop and points gained. Put those characters on your support team even if they are low level, it’s the quickest way to gain friend request), headhunting events where you farm for the characters (usually SR) in battle stage, or an event like headhunters where you farm for characters but they provide you with a separate event stages (which there will be moons. Clearing the challenges for very hard stages will give you 15 moons each stage). Other than that, you can also get moons from daily gathering events for level up and evolve items. Only for clearing the challenges for the first time though.
3. THE NA EVENTS ARE IN DIFFERENT SCHEDULE THAN JP. I REPEAT, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT SCHEDULE. The chinatown events we have now in NA is a really recent event in JP. This only means that you have to save your moons more urgently, since we won’t know when is your favorite card/characters will appear. Trust me, unless you are super lucky, you won’t be safe with just 500-750 moons. I spent 1750 moons but I still can’t get Light SSR Atsushi. There are 5 kinds of gacha pull. The permanent ones, the limited one, the guaranteed 1 SSR for 250 paid moons, the step gacha, and the normal scout. The step gacha is the most worth it to pull, since they guarantee an SSR on step 3 and the pulls after step 6 will have higher rate than normal (although if you are unlucky like me, you still won’t get the one you want). Don’t bother with permanent ones, they aren’t as good as the limited ones and you can be spooked by them when they appear on your limited pulls (I get 3 SSR Atsushi when I was trying for Crimson SSR Chuuya). You can also just spend SSR tickets if you really want one, although which character you will get is still random. The limited gacha is the usual one where you want to pull. Mind you, pulling 250 moons doesn’t guarantee you getting any SSR. You can check if you will receive an SSR or not by looking at the animation of the moon when you pull. A bright purple moon means you will get new SSR, a red moon means you will either get SSR that you already have or only up to SR, a blue moon means that you only get R (yes that can happen). Normal scout aren’t that important since you usually only get items, but once in a blue moon like my friend, you can actually get SSR character from it. Although the percentage is so low you will probably spend the rest of your life luck to get one from normal scout.
4. Try building teams for each color. It isn’t that important since enemies outside of daily gathering events will have different colored enemies, but having a team with the same color means everyone in that team will benefit from your leader’s skill of that team and your friend’s support’s skill. Unless your leader has leader skill like ‘reduce enemy damage’ or 'start battle with X% beatdown’ or '2x/3x beatdown gained from special orbs’ then it doesn’t matter if your team differ in colors like a rainbow. Still, having a team in the same color means that if you have a character with booster type of skill (ex. Atsushi SSR Emerald gives 200% attack bonus for 2 turns for all Emerald allies). There is only a few character with booster type of skill that affect every colors (SSR Kenji Azure and SSR Light Atsushi)
Right now the best color teams are the crimson and dark. Crimson is the best at offensive since they have UR Atsushi, SSR Crimson Chuuya, and SSR Chinatown Yosano. Dark is just behind them with SSR Dark Akutagawa (both of them). Light team are falling behind because other than SSR Light Atsushi there aren’t other good SSR. Emerald team are the best for getting beatdowns and all clear since a lot of their SSR leader skills are all about getting beatdowns faster (kimono Chuuya, Dazai, Higuchi). Azure teams had some pretty rare skills like SSR Kunikida and SSR Tanizaki (double the marble strength and double the affinity orbs gained for two turns)
If the daily missions is to get a lot of beatdowns and/or all clear, use teams that boost beatdowns gains since getting all clear is easier with beatdowns. If the mission is to clear battle stages without getting any damage, just clear the very first stage. Or if you want to also get achievement for clearing a stage for each chapter with no damage, bring characters that 'add enemies turn by 1’ like Halloween Atsushi or Emerald Kunikida and also characters with '11-12x attacks’ to quickly kill any enemies that will attack you on that turn.
5. Use SSR characters than SR even if their skills aren’t that good (if you have them of course), because the SSR characters has better status for HP and Atk. Only bring SR if you desperately need their skill (healing, changing the color of orbs, booster). Don’t bother to raise all the SR you get, focus only on the useful ones. Just sell all the SR and R you don’t want/need. You can always see them in your codex anyway. If you have better SSR and you get a bad SSR (Azure Hirotsu, Light Dazai and Light Yosano) just keep them in your inventory but never raise them if you think you won’t ever use them especially if you are low on evolve and level up items. Some SSR characters will get promotions to rise their rank to UR, so try not to sell them.
6. It’s fine even if your friend request is not accepted. Unlike FGO where you won’t be able to use the support NP, Bungou Mayoi still lets you use their skill in combat. The only difference between friend and stranger is that you can see them more often and you gain more friend points for normal scout from a friend than stranger (although the bonus is only for once a day so it’s not that big of a deal). Just search for supports that you really need and don’t forget to display your best support so you can help others too, especially on events.
7. This is a combat tips for very hard stages. Please bring all of your SSR, especially if they have useful skills. They will make your life significantly easier. If you know what colors the enemy will be, prepare your team accordingly. Don’t use moons to continue, you better try another time. Best skills are heal, boosters, and orbs color change, but also bring one or two characters with 11-12x attack to whittle down enemies hp. Save your beatdowns, only use them when in turns you see the purple swamp that drained your hp and also the thorny wire, beatdowns will make you immune to them since if you are unlucky they can make you loss more than a half of your hp. All clear guarantee all out attack, so try to aim for one when you are using beatdown. Mind you, beatdowns won’t make you immune to webs that will slow your marble down so avoid that if possible. If the stage is more than 3 rounds, you can use all of your character skill on the round 1 and by the time you reach round 4-5, the cooldowns are usually finished. This will save your time and also make sure your hp won’t be drained too much so you can survive the boss round better. Bring characters with good subskills. People may underestimate subskills, but some subskills can save you. Subskills that heals, immediately fill up the beatdown gauge, and cut cooldowns are the best. Boosting atk is good although the boost isn’t that much. Reducing dmg is the same (especially because the enemy’s color may not match with what color the damage may reduce).
8. On events with shops, if you don’t have the SSR characters, just focus on getting at least one SR from point shop and item exchange shop so your points can raise up to 20% each battle. If you are low leveled, pay attention to your Action Point and exp. Each time you level up your AP will be full, but if you still has a lot of AP left before you level up it will be wasted. So pay attention to your exp, calculate how much ap you will need to level up. This way you can actually just use normal AP recovery to get all items on the both shop. If you are afraid you won’t have enough time, use AP recovery items that you can get from the event shop and also the bungou point shop (don’t forget to buy them whenever they are available). When your level is more than 90 you will have so much ap that you only to play the game 2-3 times daily.
9. The last one is about the office. The most important ones to raise are Kunikida, Ranpo, and Dazai. You won’t need Tanizaki (money), Atsushi/Kyouka (evolve items) and Yosano (level up items) since the three of them need to be raised to a really high level before you get good ones. You won’t need money later in the game (I have 9 millions now that I rarely use). Ranpo gives you random items and when his level is high enough, you can get moons and tickets (even SSR ticket). Kunikida gives you bungou points, which is useful to buy items on shop (the most important are limited tickets and AP recovery bottles, the rest aren’t as important). Dazai raises the probability of item drops and since he can eat all colors, just use all colors beside azure and emerald on him.
I think that’s all? If anyone have questions, I will try my best to answer. Also, please remember to have fun. If some stages are too hard just forget about them. If it’s battle stages, you can return to then later when you are stronger. If it’s event, just farm for points/items/characters elsewhere that is easier.

what better way to procrastinate than to write random stuff
reviewing the works that the abilities were based on
Part 1: Armed Detective Agency
I just realized that I've finally read all the works attributed to the abilities of the author's BSD counterparts, at least for the ADA. I plan to do this for all organizations in the BSD universe so I can direct my reading and actually finish something HAHA
DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert on literature, let alone Japanese literature, and my short reviews are solely my opinion as a casual reader. These are all for fun so please don't take these so seriously!
Nakajima Atsushi Ability: Beast Beneath the Moonlight Original Work: Moon Over the Mountain
This short story has the vibes of a folktale but with existential dread sprinkled throughout. The prose is calm but the agony still reverberates. I liked this more than I though I would, perhaps because of how clean it felt. Honestly this would be one of the OG works I'd recommend to a BSD fan who wants to try classic Japanese literature.
Dazai Osamu Ability/Original Work: No Longer Human
This is probably the one novel/work most BSD fans would pick up first - and for a good reason. The themes are pretty universal albeit heavy, the tone of the narrator throughout the entire novel is gripping, the translation by Donald Keene is very readable, and it's just in the most general sense a summary of Dazai-sensei's own life. The last point must be taken with a grain of salt, however, as he's a master liar - something you'll find out if you dig more into his life and other works. If you'd like to see depression in book form, this is for you.
Kunikida Doppo Ability: Doppo Poet Original Work: Doppo Collection (probably)
Here's a case of "I can't really find the original work so I'll be reviewing something else instead"
Reviewing: Those Unforgettable People
I chose to talk about this one since it's the one found in the Penguin Anthology. It's an interesting mix of forms: technically, it's a short story. However, the elements of poetry and even of the essay are present - mostly the latter, tbh. Of course the whole "ideal" thing is such a Kunikida-sensei thing that it appears it almost every story he wrote, yet somehow in this one you'll have to squint a little bit more to see it. The point of this story-essay-poem thing is at the very end (the first half is quite dragging imo) is what gives it a little oomph, but honestly I much prefer his other works (specifically Old Gen and Death).
Tanizaki Jun'ichirou Ability/Original Work: Sasameyuki
You like a slow burn? You like pain? Familial drama? Maybe you'll like this. Maybe you won't. It's a mammoth of a book that feels like a series of extremely detailed telenovela episodes - not that it's necessarily a bad thing. I enjoyed it despite the length because the way it ends, although hardly strong at all, ties the themes and messages of the novel cleanly into a single scene.
Miyazawa Kenji Ability/Original Work: Be Not Defeated by the Rain
It's a poem every Japanese elementary student would know. The message and style is so simple yet beautiful (I read Sulz's translation). It's joyful and so sunny... until I read the background on it. I cried over his work. Again. (Night on the Galactic Railroad PLS) Man I just love this author so much. But I'm not really a poem person to begin with, so take this review with a grain of salt HAHA
Yosano Akiko Ability/Original Work: Thou Shalt Not Die
The only complete translation I could find is written in painfully archaic English, so I won't comment on the style HAHA. But I do think the original was just as pointed in its words and message; its anti-war sentiments and middle finger to the Japanese emperor and military (at the time) so characteristically Yosano-sensei. It's sad she'd support WW2 later on - come on sensei WHY
Personally, however, I prefer her shorter poems, specifically the ones from River of Stars. But I'm not really a poem person to begin with, so take this review with a grain of salt HAHA
Izumi Kyouka Ability: Demon Snow Original Work: Demon Pond
It's been a while since I've read a play, and perhaps that's why I had a hard time getting through the first half - either that or it was quite lackluster as most of the actual story happens in the second half. Its influences from folktales and traditional Japanese theater (i.e. kabuki and noh) are very apparent - I wish I could have seen it instead of read it because of that. I think this is the first work of Kyouka's that I actually liked (I've read some of his short stories and one of his other plays) so I'll definitely recommend this one if you want to start with this author. There's also a movie adaptation of it that I haven't watched yet (but I do plan to). I think it could be much better than just reading it as is because of the visuals and mood setting, but a review on that soon. Maybe.
Fukuzawa Yukichi Ability: All Men Are Created Equal Original Work: An Encouragement of Learning (Sec. 1-2)
I couldn't be bothered to read the whole thing, but the essence of the ability only comes from the first two sections (which I'll be reviewing).
It's an essay that imo serves as a good introduction to Fukuzawa's philosophy. His views and arguments are built primarily on morality with logic acting mostly as a way to expound on his points. It's interesting, nothing really new for a contemporary reader, but at least it gives a nice background on the changing environment during the early years of Meiji-era Japan. Of course there are personal biases here (specifically the one with China - one of the greatest criticisms against Fukuzawa, even though he was supposedly progressive for his time) but imo that reflects some views of many Japanese at the time - not that they're right, of course.
But what about our special non-gifted boi?
I guess let's look at what one of the episodes was based on instead lol
Edogawa Ranpo Episode: The Murder on D. Street (S01E05) Original Work: The Case on D. Hill
I will tell you now: they have almost NO similarities whatsoever. Doesn't mean it's bad tho...
Okay ngl I was pretty disappointed HAHA. It's the same type of disappointment I had with Poe's Murders on the Rue Morgue (which was ironically referenced in the story) but it at least had some sense to it. I blame myself for not seeing it coming tho, given that this story is very typical of Edogawa-sensei. If you do plan to read it, however, be warned that there are implicit (?) themes that may be uncomfortable for some readers (this warning applies to most of Edogawa-sensei's work not made specifically for children HAHA).

What do you mean the irl Edogawa Ranpo was gay. What do you mean he traveled with his boyfriend researching the history of homosexuality in Japan. What do you mean they had a competition on who could find the most books about gay sex. WHAT DO YOU MEAN-

So I just found out that irl!ranpo is gay????
So the story is that I was just scrolling through tumblr for a bit and found a post that say(questioning) that ranpo is gay and I was like
"Wait,Huh? WHAT!??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN IRL!RANPO IS GAY!??"
(Here the link if you wondering)
I was shocked I was completely shocked like my mind was just repeating a sentence
"Irl!ranpo is GAY??!"
So I calm down a bit go to Google and search and found a reddit post kinda explaining the part "irl!ranpo is gay"
So the gist of it was ranpo and his friend name Iwata who was anthropologist that spent years researching the history of homosexuality in Japan, during the 1930s edogawa and Iwata had a competition to see who could find the most books about erotic desire between man.
Edogawa dedicated himself finding books published in the west and Iwata dedicated himself finding books published in japan
But unfortunately, iwata died in 1945 leaving with only part of his work published so edogawa worked to have the remaining work on queer historiography published.
And there was also this too "Vision and Putrescence: Edogawa Rampo Rereading Edgar Allan Poe"(you will also find this in the reddit post link that I put up there) that talk about his sexual indentity and heterosexual love? (Idk know how to explain it though but if i have to sum it up I will take a page from the reddit post and said "A quote verifying that Edogawa Ranpo was almost certainly gay.")
This is why I love irl author fact so much like, they have things about them that we don't know yet and when we find out it just leave us completely shocked
Like seriously iam so completely shocked right now to the point that iam completely ignoring my homework to write this
(Also a reminder iam not a researcher who did some kind of in depth research about this, this post is just me finding some kind of fact about irl!author if there is any misconception then iam sorry also if you want to discuss more about this then feel free to comment in the tag or the comment section but I will not accept any hate comment if you don't like it just scrolled past it this will not affect your life)
P.S: while I was writing this I just remember that I have some post that I haven't finished and edited or post yet but if you curious about it then I could said one is about kinda related to jouno, one is atsushi and one is just random, I might post it if I have the motivation but maybe it will take a while

Please, if you can, take a moment to read and share this because I feel like I'm screaming underwater.
NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) stigma is rampant right now, and seems to be getting progressively worse. Everyone is using it as a buzzword in the worst ways possible, spreading misinformation and hatred against a real disorder.
I could go on a long time about how this happened, why it's factually incorrect (and what the disorder actually IS), why it's harmful, and the changes I'd like to see. But to keep this concise, I'll simply link to a few posts under the cut for further reading.
The point of this post is a plea. Please help stop the spread of stigma. Even in mental health communities, even around others with personality disorders, in neurodivergent "safe" spaces, other communities I thought people would be supportive in (e.g. trans support groups, progressive spaces in general), it keeps coming up. So I'm willing to bet that a lot of people on this site need to see this.
Because it's so hard to exist in this world.
My disorder already makes me feel as if I'm worthless and unlovable, like there's something inherently wrong and damaged about me. And it's so much harder to fight that and heal when my daily life consists of:
Laughing and spending time with my friends, doing my utmost best to connect and stay present and focused on them, trying to let my guards down and be real and believe I'm lovable- when suddenly they throw out the word "narcissist" to describe horrible people or someone they hate, or the conversation turns to how evil "people with narcissistic personality disorder" are. (Seriously, you don't know which of your friends might have NPD and feels like shit when you say those things & now knows that you'd hate them if you knew.)
Trying to look up "mental health positivity for people with npd", "mental health positivity cluster bs", only to find a) none of that, and b) more of the same old vile shit that makes me feel terrible about myself.
Having a hard time (which is constant at this point) and trying to look up resources for myself, only to again, find the same stigma. And no resources.
Not having any clue how to help myself, because even the mental health field is spitting so much vitriol at people with DISORDERS (who they're supposed to be helping!) that there's no solid research or therapy programs for people like me.
Losing close friends when they find out, despite us having had a good relationship before, and them KNOWING me and knowing that I'm not like the trending image of pwNPD. Because now they only see me through the lens of stigma and misinformation.
Hearing the same stigma come up literally wherever I go. Clubs. Meetings. Any online space. At the bus stop. At the mall. At a restaurant. At work. Buzzword of the year that everyone loooves loudly throwing around with their friends or over the phone. Feels awesome for me, makes my day so much better/s
I could go on for a long time, but I'm scared no one will read/rb this if it gets too much longer.
So please. Stop using the word "narcissist" as a synonym for "abusive".
Stop bringing up people you hate who you believe to have NPD because of a stigmatizing article full of misinformation whenever someone with actual NPD opens their mouth. (Imagine if people did that with any other disorder! "Hey, I'm autistic." "Oh... my old roommate screamed at me whenever I made noise around him, and didn't understand my needs, which seems like sensory overload and difficulty with social cues. He was definitely autistic. But as long as you're self-aware and always restraining your innate desire to be an abusive asshole, you're okay I guess, maybe." ...See how offensive and ignorant that is?)
Stop preventing healthcare for people with a disorder just because it's trendy to use us as a scapegoat.
If you got this far, thank you for reading, and please share this if you can. Further reading is under the cut.
NPD Criteria, re-written by someone who actually has NPD
Stigma in the DSM
Common perception of the DSM criteria vs how someone may actually experience them (Keep in mind that this is the way I personally experience these symptoms, and that presentation can vary a lot between individuals)
"Idk, the stigma is right though, because I've known a lot of people with NPD who are jerks, so I'm going to continue to support the blockage of treatment for this condition."
(All of these were written by me, because I didn't want to link to other folks' posts without permission, but if you want to add your own links in reblogs or replies please feel free <3)

It look like we going to get a new light novel and it gonna be an adaption of the main event in the manga(or anime?)
So that mean we have to prepare ourselves when this come out cause the thing about bsd light novel is that they describe what happening(the characters, the emotion,etc) very good to the point that it make me want to curl up and cry (stormbringer, beast,...)
(But really though Iam gonna be so excited for this when it come out but then I realized I'm in another country so that mean I can't buy and read it T_T)

Okay I have some question here do you guy remember there scene where sigma is taking information from fyodor
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And if I remember correctly sigma's ability is trading the information that he want but the other also get what they want right
So here the real question what information did fyodor get
Look at the first two panel and as you can see sigma was getting a rapid information from fyodor and then we got to the scene where fyodor was holding sigma in the palm of his hand
The scene where fyodor was holding sigma tick me the most
People say that a scene when someone is holding someone in the hand kinda symbolize power or upper hand right?
But is there something else too like another meaning(?)
So I look at it again and think sigma was like getting a torrent of information here right and he look like he was in an information space(?) And then we got the scene where fyodor is holding sigma and looking very pleased of what is happening
I was like wait is fyodor getting the information too
Cause when sigma fainted after he tell himself that he need to tell the agency(applause for him cause really he hasn't been in the agency yet and he already think to tell them)
And then we get a expression of a very unsatisfied fyodor (idk im not good with expression so I guess the face he was making at the end is unsatisfied)
Like he was unsatisfied with the information that he got.
I didn't see anyone talk about this yet, I know dazai (supposed) death surprised you guy and then all of you decided to be an doctor, surgeon or anything to prove that dazai is not dead but really we need to focus on something else too
(That didn't mean that I didn't like all the dazai analysis chap 109 thing, it was quite fun to read it but you know that there another arc that asagiri gonna work on when this arc is done right also I see someone pointing out that we are falling into the same trick as chap 101)
P.S: did I get fed up when nobody is talking about it and then do it- yes, I did
Edit: I just see someone talk about this scene when I was just done doing this lol so I guess someone already talk about it
Also here the link if you interested

Something that been on my mind
Warning: there maybe some grammar mistake in this cause english isn't my first language and also iam not an analyst or theorists or anything is just that I just want to get this out of my mind
The new bsd manga cover is out and I just realized something
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The upside down pose of atsushi and if I remember correctly what happened in volume 21 is equivalent to "sh*t is going down" and if iam right then volume 24 is a manga cover for chap 105 to 109 (unless there another chapter coming out but it will be in September so i just gonna put it like that) also equivalent to "things are turning to the worse" kinda like volume 21.
I'm not an analyst or anything but it will be great for someone to do an analysis on this
It just atsushi is being upside down in the volume manga cover lately and there have to some hint for it cause harukawa art always have meaning or some parallel for something
Also if I remember correctly there are a tarot mayoi card for atsushi and his cards is the fool
Tumblr media
(Credit the art to the game bungou lost tales)
I remember someone already did an analysis on this card so I'm just gonna link it later
So here is the meaning of the fool
- UPRIGHT: (new) beginnings, freedom/free-spirited, adventure, travel, originality, innocence, foolishness, carelessness, idealism, youth, spontaneity, lack of commitment.
- REVERSED: recklessness/risk-taking, carelessness, negligence, stupidity, distraction, apathy, irrationality, lack of fun/hope/faith, holding back.
With what is going on in the manga and atsushi upside down pose in the new manga volume I gonna go with the reversed one
The lack of fun/hope/faith are what is currently happen in right now in the manga and the holding back thing is kinda related to how atsushi have to hold back so he can't hurt akutagawa (it in chapter 108) i guess but the other I'm not so sure
Like I say I'm not an analyst it just when I see the new manga cover my thought just spiraled to this
And here is the link to the analysis about the tarot mayoi card
We also need someone to talk about this too
Tumblr media
(Credit the art to harukawa sango)
This is the new illustration art of harukawa and the first thing that I notice is why fukuchi scar is yellow the same color of atsushi eyes and fukuchi scar here is like a claw mark however maybe it was just a scar when he was fighting with the ability experiment "werewolves" or the semi-immortal ability user "wasp" (it in chapter 82) but why the claw scar is yellow and atsushi eyes is also yellow here so that gonna mean something
I also see a post talking about this too
And here
Also I hope that you guys still remember that the DOA still have the page right
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And they gonna write on the back of the page at the next full moon
(I don't know what time it is in the current chapter but I guess it not the day of the full moon yet)
The real question is why DID they chose the next full moon they could have chose any day but why (I did see some questions about this too)
Now what are the thing about full moon that we are all know about
Yep that's right atsushi ability
Tumblr media
I also want to add this: "he was actually transforming into a white tiger under the moonlight due to his ability" (Credit to wiki)
And who is holding the page right now- yes is fukuchi
Tumblr media
But is he really the one holding the page, I see some post point it out that the page is blank or quite clear like it didn't even have any word on it so we have another question it is really the page
We also see another person shroud by darkness and writing on the page
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We don't know yet if this person is affiliated with doa or fyodor or they are someones that haven't been revealed yet or the creator of the book itself
So is the page that fukuchi holding is just a decoy(a fake page?) And the real one is being keep at somewhere else because it is something that are super valuable, and you can't just keep it on yourself all the time cause what if something unexpected happen
Does that mean that there are gonna be some connection revealed or an answer to some questions that have been unanswered or just a foreshadowing for something that gonna happen later in the manga
I guess we just have to wait though cause I remember a translate of a interview with asagiri and he say that doa arc is not the end and there are going to be a "order of the clock tower" arc but I'm not sure.
(And also resolve some mystery about atsushi cause he have so many hole in his backstory and there so many question about him that haven't been answer)
P.S: I want to write more about it but my mind just got overload-like I was having a very bad headache and my eyes feel kind of sleepy
Also did I do this analysis (theory) post as the same time as the the other one- yes (you know what maybe that the reason why i was having a headache i mean doing both analysis(theory) at the same time can leave you quite tired), do I really need a break- yes...maybe it just I have so many to do right now and I really want to but my mind just blank so yeah I might take a break

Just a thought
Warning: there maybe bad grammar in this so I hope you don't mind and also I'm not an analyst (theorist) or anything so don't expect to much
I was just reading an in-depth analysis on the bsd official Twitter layout
While I was reading I just focus on the part of the hanging feet Pic so I decided to just stare at the official Twitter layout more closely so that I can get this tick off my mind and also rereading the analysis (being forgettable sometimes suck)
Tumblr media
So uh I searched up the word for "hanging" and found out some similar word and opposite of it
But the one that kinda interest me the most was the word "suspended"
Then my mind(brain?) just whisper to me another word "upside down" (idk how my mind do that iam not a psychologist or a neurologist)
And I remember that "wait there is a volume cover of atsushi in a upside down pose
And yup I think I found what it's ticking my brain
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I wanted to add the new volume cover too but I think this work better)
If you read the analysis that I mention at the start you noticed that atsushi and the body that hanging have page surround them
So what am I try to implied here
Well you see is just that I noticed the lower part of the hanging body have page surround underneath them
While atsushi have page surround at the upper part of his body
Also the body in the first image is hanging upright(?) above the page while atsushi is like suspended (dangling?) upside down around(?) it
It like they have a pose that very similar just opposite and they have page scattered around them
Are the author are trying to hint(foreshadowing) us about something
Or maybe I'm just thinking too much
I don't know what iam (or my mind) try to do here, it just I want to get this off my mind though so this is just a thought (is this a pun see it how you like :))) )
You can also talk or comment about this if you want this is just some half-baked idea that my mind just come up.
(Maybe that this is a hint(foreshadowing) about the connection(or something that will happen) between sigma, the mysterious person, atsushi and the book- you will know what I mean if you read the analysis at the start)

Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?
They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care
