Rating 4* - AKA, nothing wrong with it, liked how it shows some characters and their choices. The writing style and the fact its basically a short story is usually what stops LN getting anything above a 4 if I'm being honest. Just not got the attachment to what I would rate 4.5 or 5

Likes;
- Felt like it delves into Oda's character a bit more than the anime adaptation since you get his first hand pov at times
- Shows why Dazai leaves the Mafia
- Some more on Akutagawa

Dislikes;
- none that stands out
