DAZAI'S ENTRANCE EXAM RANT INCOMING

Basically, I was working on my super special extra time-consuming dazai bday special and I was working on dazai's most memorable memories through his POV and I just knew I had to include a scene from Dazai's Entrance Exam

So, yk what I did? Exactly! I read the entire light novel which was like 300 something pages in 4 hours? (mind you, I did all this to find a scene for a drawing, also mind you, I was in a heavy time crunch 😭)

and I do NOT regret a single second of it, Dazai's Entrance Exam is definitely by far my favorite light novel (of the two light novels ive currently read, the other being Stormbringer, which I ALSO reread for the sole sake of making the flashbacks as accurate as possible. Man.)

Firstly, it was a surprisingly fun read ONLY because it was in Kunikida's POV (honestly 1st person POV deserves more love I LOVE 1st person POV ok.. ok.) and I also just loved the wording of the entire novel

SECONDLY, the light novel opened my eyes to the beauty of kunizai and their dynamic, their bickerings, their opposite personalities that somehow work together and balance eachother out, etc, etc. I just get so emotional about dazai and his fascinating and beautifully written relationships with other characters man

THIRDLY, the plot, the meat of the whole case is just so much thicker and juicier, I loved the complexity of Sasaki's character and the fact that everything is just more well-rounded overall. This light novel was simply a masterpiece from all angles

And finally, I am now positively unceremoniously inlove with Kunikida Doppo. I'm sorry guys. sniffs

jokes aside, I never really paid attention much to Kunikida before when I first started the manga/anime (highly due to the fact that I initially joined the bandwagon for dazai and the promise of a goofy silly oldschool looking detective anime I surmised from a few yt vids) But I suppose the ln really did it for me, because suddenly I apprieciate kunikida so so so so much more as a character, he's beautiful, stands by his ideals and righteousness even if it means sacrificing himself, understanding, places the people he cares about and the lives of others above everything else, comically rigid and uptight and is genuinely such a sunshine underneath the hard exterior

also, I absolutely highkey kinda want to yumeship him as my math teacher. I mean i'd hate math anyway but it's Kunikida!!!

Anyways, my favorite bsd arc is the s4 ada framed as terrorists arc because it was so intense!!
