SIGMA LIVED

And I 100% blame Bsd Wan for this because that’s just basically the coming in through the window bit.

I love it because it has both them act like each other.

Calm is not a word one uses to describe Akutagawa. He has a short temper, he’s moody and the single most pettiest bitch in this entire series.

While Atsushi is generally the level headed and voice of reason more often than not. He’s less likely to yell as he is mouth off his own comments.

And so it’s fun to have Akutagawa be the calm, level headed one in the situation. Maybe even have him drop insults under his breath.

While Atsushi’s the pissed off one about to lose his shit over something that probably isn’t even that important.

It works because we see them act like that with each other. We see them argue and bicker and banter and take turns with those roles.

And it gives us an Atsushi who feels comfortable to express his anger. It gives us an Akutagawa who doesn’t feel like it’s some kind of battle he has to win no matter what.

Also it’s funny.

I'm sorry but when this gets animated, how are we gonna get this parallel that's highlighted again and again in the manga when WHAT WE GOT WAS THIS:

This chapter really illustrates just how young they were when they met. Akutagawa is 14 and Dazai 16 here.

I just love this page. Atsushi realizes that he almost lost someone who he never took the time to understand. this boy, this stranger, who has burrowed so deep into his mind, who has been completely incomprehensible to him, who died for him, is, beneath it all, just like him. they're the same. they always have been.

its regret. about the words he's said, the wound's he's inflicted, the fact that he did not see the boy right in front of him. he walked away, a specter, misunderstood, never being told that its okay for him to live. okay for him to exist in this world.

sskk riding each other

sskk biting each other's neck

"Just the two of us?"/"Do we need any more?"

"Away with you, you fool."
