Ayamura/ Yukito Ayatsuji x Mizuki Tsujimura: Like I said last time, I haven’t read Gaiden so I don’t feel qualified to rate these ships. -/10

Chuuaki/ Chuuya Nakahara x Akiko Yosano: I saw someone mention this ship once before and I thought it was crazy. But then I somehow stumbled across this fanfic on AO3 that was like a The Mummy (1997) AU of BSD and Yosano was the Evie character and Chuuya was Rick and every other character and the story we know was fitted into this Mummy AU and I never finished reading it but it was GOOD. So I don’t think this ship is as crazy as it seems at first glance. They wouldn’t work long term (outside of that fanfic AU) but they’d probably be real good for a year or so (but also in an AU where one isn’t in the PM & the other in the ADA bc the majority of PM character x ADA character ships wouldn’t even go on a first date or last after the first date). 3.5/10

Example of why it would have to be in some AU.

Chuuan/ Chuuya Nakahara x Yuan: When I first watched the anime, whenever anyone would post screenshots of the arcade scene a lot of comments were hating on Yuan for daring to touch Chuuya or whatever nonsense they came up with automatically assuming she was “getting in the way” of SKK. So clearly y’all sensed something was going on. I don’t think there was though. Maybe she had a crush (who wouldn’t), but ultimately they wouldn’t work out (she was literally part of the coup). 0/10

^His honest reaction to that information (that y’all ship them).

Chuuhigu/ Chuuya Nakahara x Ichiyo Higuchi: Another random ship. We’ve never seen them interact even though we should since Chuuya is the executive Higuchi reports to. I don’t see it working/happening or even a reason why others would like it. It’s not so random it’s ridiculous, it’s not exactly problematic, it’s not close to being canon, it’s not “two characters who never interact but have a lot in common/would have great chemistry”. It’s two people who work together with nothing that would draw one to the other, not even hate. 2/10

^Chuuya upon hearing people do in fact ship him with women it’s not just men.

Chuukou/ Chuuya Nakahara x Kouyou Ozaki: I see why people would ship it since they have a positive platonic relationship in canon, but because she’s kinda who took him in in the Mafia, I prefer an older sister/younger brother relationship for them. (While Chuuya calling Kouyou “ane-san” is a nod to the fact real life Japanese mafiosi refer to the boss’s wife as “ane-san”, she’s not the boss’s wife and “ane” is the term used to talk about one’s older sister.) Not everything has to be romantic people can just be friends. 2.5/10

Chuunao/ Chuuya Nakahara x Naomi Tanizaki: I know y’all are trippin’ 💀 Where did this even come from? This is the wrong redhead Naomi is interested in LMAO. 0/10

Dazagin/ Osamu Dazai x Gin Akutagawa: The tamer Dazaku lol. I honestly didn’t know what to think of this my mind kept going “?” so I checked AO3 and everything was Beast AU smut. 0/10

You guys embarrassed her

Dazano/ Osamu Dazai x Akiko Yosano: I never thought of them as a ship until I saw a picture of two cosplayers of both characters in a romantic pose and then my eyes were sorta opened and I went “why haven’t I seen anyone talking about them as a pairing?” It’s such an interesting concept, they’re like the two Agency members we never see interact (well I think there’s a few other combos we never see interacting even in the background) but they have some similarities but also enough differences that I think would give them chemistry. Underrated. 5/10

She’s very interested/curious about these ships you have for her.

Dazanao/ Osamu Dazai x Naomi Tanizaki: Apparently Naomi was trained by Dazai at one point, I forgot if we were told for what. So I’d like to see more of their platonic/professional relationship. 0/10

Dazasaki/ Osamu Dazai x Nobuko Sasaki: Really? Ok. 1/10

Osamu Dazai x the Cafe Waitress: I know the anime made her younger but in the manga wasn’t she the cafe owner’s wife? #adulteryisntcool -2.5/10

The punishment for attempting to participate in cheating^

Dazawells/ Osamu Dazai x Herbert George Wells: Dazai is getting shipped with every single woman he interacts with, I’m sure this list is going to get crazier when we get to the yaoi section. I don’t know what to say. 1/10

Fitzcott/ Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald x Louisa May Alcott: No, she’s closer to his daughter’s age than his, and he’s married and loves his wife, and she likes him in an admiring way not because she’s attracted to him. -3.5/10
