just a quick meme before another episode of possible pain tomorrow

“Even if a game doesn’t seem clearable at first, after playing it over and over again, you can conquer it.” 

That is a very good question! With all the different series, it gets a little confusing!

Please check out @astearte ‘s master list here! It has all of the mini stories that most of the manga sites don’t include! It’s absolutely wonderful, thank you for putting this together!! Otherwise, a basic rundown of the series is as follows:

So first is Doukyuusei (classmates) which is also what the movie is based off of. It’s where the two meet, fall in love and start their relationship. However, chapter 8, 9 and the DVD extra should probably be read after you read Occupation to Beloved so you don’t get confused. Just keep that in mind! Please purchase the official English translation here to support the author!

Next is Sotsugyousei (Graduates) and it’s about their how their relationship grows and continues as they finish their high school careers. Please purchase the official English translation here and here to support the author!! I own all of the books so far and they are wonderful!! 

After that is Sora to Hara the spin-off series for Harasen and his love life. It doesn’t have much to do with Sajou or Kusakabe, so if you don’t really care about Harasen, this series is optional.

So then next is Occupation to Beloved and it’s about Sajou and Kusakabe as they figure out their relationship post-high school life. However, there are also some stories interspersed about some new couples/characters/stories that are unrelated to the boys. I have found you are able to skip those chapters and it doesn’t make much of a difference. The chapters with just Sajou and Kusakabe (as according to the chapter names in the above Mangakakalot link) are 1, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 7, 7.6, 7.7, and the first half of 7.8.

And then we get to Blanc! This one is later in their relationship still when they’re starting to struggle with the harshness of real life. So far, there’s only 5 chapters officially scanlated and the rest that are out are available here on my blog. However, please check out @chibisunnie ‘s text translations of chapters 6, 7, and 8 because their translations are much more accurate than mine!! They really do such great work, thank you!! ♡

And then, finally, if you still haven’t had enough, there’s Futari Gurashi (Living Together) which is an extra comic coming out on pixiv about their lives as they just started living together. @kusajo has done great translations of chapters 2, 3, and 4! (you can find chapter 1 here)

Just recovered from an accident and my arm seems to work fine now.

Insults and says he can’t stand him while threatening that he will kill Dazai someday.

But he actually never does and instead proceeds to save Dazai at the expense of his own life at every given opportunity.

“This is nothing but his bumbling. That dimwit Dazai is inside there. No doubt about it. I need to give him a smack, or I’ll never get over it.”

Says he hates him but then in moments of vulnerability says shit like this
