Bungou Stray Dogs: Cherish — A Grand Directory & Master List
Seeing as that I have made many posts now on the topic, and anticipate many, many more in the future as the story further progresses, I decided it may be prudent to create a masterlist, to make the posts more accessible to myself and others.
The version of this list you are presently reading is current as of April 6th, 2024. As Tumblr does not auto-update reblogged posts that are later edited, if you are reading this from a reblog, this list may not immediately appear up to date; to ‘refresh’ it, please click here.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy!
