#so much of Oda's character and the true heartbreak and poignancy of his and Dazai's relationship is only found by reading it

seeing new appreciation for Dark Era because of the anime rewatch makes me so happy..... could we have a light novel reread series next so that everyone can read Dark Era? 🥹

#bungou stray dogs #out here shilling the DE novel whenever I can to get as many people as possible to read it 🥲 pls read it guys it's so worth it #it will rui- change your life #the anime adaptation is beautiful and the best work Bones has ever done for bsd #but it still can't hold a candle to the novel #so much of Oda's character and the true heartbreak and poignancy of his and Dazai's relationship is only found by reading it #not to mention a better understanding of Ango; Dazai and Aku's relationship; etc #everyone knows Stormbringer and Beast but i feel like Dark Era is one of the most unread light novels #(along with Entrance Exam... *sigh* and 55 Minutes) #I made a visual novel out of Dark Era using anime screenshots and the ost.... would people find it more appealing to read in that format?? #I keep waffling about making it public cause idk who would even care lol #but maybe i should just post it one day and see what happens...... i'm proud of it but no one has played it but the friend i made it for #i'd be happy if sharing it got more people to read Dark Era #anyone who's even reading these tags lmao: would you play a visual novel of Dark Era???
