Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 8 (Light Novel): Storm Bringer by Kafka Asagiri

5.0

---

Thank you Victor Fyodor for giving me the full translated version! I can't thank you enough!

The light novel continues the story after the events of "Fifteen" and the Arahabaki incident. This book basically explores Chuuya's past. I absolutely loved this book and this was one of my most anticipated releases for this year. No way I could ever rate it less than 5 stars. It has everything I needed - no romance, fight scenes, sci-fi, supernatural abilities and great characters. Also, only bungou stray dogs can make you empathize even with the anatgonists.


I loved Dazai and Chuuya's dyanamic. I also loved how 'stormbringer' kind of had sci-fi elements too! Honestly, Chuuya Nakahara is one of my most favourite characters and I am so glad this entire novel was based on him! I hope they make a movie adaption of this like they did with dead apple.

I love how most of the characters in Bungou stray dogs are basically just trying to find a purpose, a rasion d'etre. Idky but this has always been close to my heart.

I was actually thinking that what if the next novel is about Dazai?! I know we already have two around him but what about something from his viewpoint?!

There are spoilers after these arts

I loved reading about the characters introduced in chapter one you know- lipman, pianoman, doc,etc. I'm still sad all of them died :( I was really loving those guys...
Also Dazai lived in a ship container??!
And that scene where Adam dies
