“It won’t be easy.”
That moment…
That moment was the start of it all.
It was the start of an armed organization from Yokohama whose name would soon be well-known even abroad. Standing in the twilight, a group of skill users with extraordinary talents who fought for justice and struck fear into the hearts of the wicked.
A legendary detective organization that would save countless lives under their president, the skill user Yukichi Fukuzawa.
This was the Armed Detective Agency’s first step forward.

Since this novel is full of spoilers and turning points, I want to appreciate Asagiri, for he is the creator of it along with Harukawa, without whom it would have been incomplete.
The plot was changing at a time of arc but the goal is same: whatever happens ADA protects justice and weak. And not everyone has a chance of lovable life. You need to make it lovable.
The characters are not only visualised just as some dead authors. The topic was peak itself, stuffing dead authors with powers according to their works. But they not only possess words. They possess actions, works, depths and parameters. And the way he reveals at least three twists in the same chapter is incredible.
His intelligence makes me envy(haha, I am kidding!)
Even though he let the story go sidetrack, even though he tortures my favourite characters, even though he makes me choke due to revelations, I am greatful to everyone who brought this into life.
Because, it has so many things from life, it takes part.
I would love Bungo Stray Dogs till the end!
