Dazai: Ok, I have a plan.

Atsushi: Does it imply death?

Kunikida: Death it's not an option right now!

Dazai: Gasp!!! Death is always an option!

“[That man], in the height of his youth and manhood, had seemed like a being who was immortal. And now, crumbled and broken, he lay on the floor.”

“In Malinovka and the neighborhood there were tragic memories connected with this precipice… None of the servants went down to the precipice, and the peasants from the outskirts of the town and from Malinovka made a detour to avoid it… Yet he was attracted by the mysterious darkness of the tangled wood to the precipice, to the lovely view…”

does chuuya has a connection with ango or buraiha in real life?

Chuuya and Ango had a “bar fight” once, and just the fact that they were involved in literary circles and drinking in the same bars I’m sure they knew each other. (source) And Chuuya and Dazai had a conversation while drinking in a bar once. They were working on the same magazine at the time, but they didn’t get along and never worked on the same project again. (source)

Atsushi: Knock! knock!

Akutagawa: Who's there?

Atsushi: Single.

Akutagawa: Single who?

Atsushi: Single you.

Akutagawa: Funny.

Atsushi: ...Not a joke. I don't want to be harsh on you.

Akutagawa: I'm gonna kill you.

Dazai: I have no fear

Chuuya: What if you woke up one day and I was actually taller than you?

Dazai: I have no fear because it will never happen.

Nakahara Chuuya and Cigarettes

While reading Nakahara Chuuya’s poems, it is hard to miss the multiple mentions of cigarettes.  Click to see a few quotes:

In the poem “Memories”: “By the brickworks I sat down; / for a while I smoked cigarettes. / Smoking, I whiled away the time / and out at sea the waves were roaring.”

In the poem “Winter Night”: “And so, the night advances, the night deepens; / the winter night when only dogs are awake, / shadows and cigarettes and me and dogs, / is an indescribable cocktail… / There is nothing better than smoke; / there is nothing merrier than smoke. / By and by you will come to know it; / the time will come when you will agree.”  

In the poem “Song of a Spring Day”: “Flow, fleeting modesty! / Flowing away to the sky’s country? / And my heart scattered far and wide. / My Egyptian cigarette’s smoke drifts.”

(And that is just me thumbing through about a tenth of the book.)  And check out Chuuya with his cigarettes in the 4th Omake comic:

Fukuzawa: what’s the problem?

Cat: meow~

Fukuzawa: Yes but where?

Imagine the Buraiha Trio drinking peacefully in Lupin until a very passionate tango song play. Ango stands up, then grabs a surprised Oda to dance with him. Dazai was laughing until Ango lets go of Oda and forces Dazai to dance.

YOU ARE DOING THE LORD’S WORK, ANON

I am crying…this is too sweet…I am blessed……
