Anytime I see the bsd beach art my first thought is RIP to the redheads. Chuuya and Jun’ichirou would be sooo burnt (I give Atsushi a 50/50 chance on burning or actually tanning considering white hair generally means less melanin but not always). I don't care how much sunscreen is used, I've never met a natual redhead that didn't burn after 5 minutes in direct sunlight regardless of precautions. And we fully know Dazai would use that fact against Chuuya for shenanigans. 🤣🤣🤣
So, I've seen some panels from the new BSD chapter (I haven't read it yet so I may be jumping the gun) and there's a minor plot hole that's been bothering me.
Dazai says that he made his plan on the assumption Fyodor's ability was based on touch which is why he concocted the whole helicopter crash to kill him. But, my guy, you got an ability that shuts off other abilities. You are immune to any side-effects and Fyodor can't use his ability (known or unknown/consciouslyor unconsciously) with you touching him. If you wanted to guarantee his death just choke a bitch out. You got a body count that would make most serial killers blush and you already planned to kill him. So why was that not Plan A?
I know this can be hand waved away a few different ways; Dazai figured Fyodor would've planned for that, Dazai isn't used to using his ability in an offensive way like that, Chuuya suggested it so Dazai said that wouldn't work just to spite him. It's not a major issue, but I wanted to see what other people think. Does anyone else think that's a plan that could have worked?
As a writer I know why the author didn't go with it and its fine that they didn't. But I still want to hear everyone's thoughts.
Perhaps I'm wrong (and am too lazy to go back through the whole manga to check), but i think there's only one time in Tower of God where Baam compliments someone's appearance and that's the first time he sees Ren's male form (s3e144 of the webtoon) when they're fighting. No comment on their female form or any of the women in the story, for that matter (as far as memory serves). But sure, lets tell someone their male form looks good while they're actively trying to kill you (not that Baam felt threatened at all) when you've shown zero interest in the fem presenting potential suiters you're surrounded by. Later, he even looks like the most confused person in the room when he hears Endorsi call him her boyfriend. I'm just saying, seems pretty gay to me.
Neil is the epitome of that "god has let me live another day and I'm about to make it everybody's problem" meme.
I may not word this right, but I like that Apothecary Diaries doesn't reduce any of the female characters to just victims. In so many stories that involve sex work, it seems like the women are victims first and characters second. As if their character is made completely around the fact that they've had this experience and that dictates everything about what they do and think in the story. And while Apothecary Diaries certainly doesn't shy away from the dark side/trama that can come from that line of work, it does do a good job at acknowledging that none of the characters are really defined by it or shamed for it in the story for that matter.
Chapters: 15/? Fandom: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic Summary:
“Potential.” Riko slammed Neil against the wall again and whirled on Kevin. Kevin stared back at him, white-faced and tense. “You said that goalkeeper had potential and then wrote him off as useless when I offered him to you...” - The Foxhole Court, Ch. 13.
Nathaniel was given to Ichirou as his private hitman after his skills as a marksman were revealed when the Moriyama tracked him and his mother down after they ran away.
Riko decided to surprise Kevin with matching “pets” after he found out the goalkeeper that Kevin was interested in had a twin.
When Nathaniel is ordered to join the Ravens for a year to cover for a series of hits, his smart mouth meets Andrew’s prickly attitude and things get interesting.
Ya know, at this point in the manga, Khun should really just put a tracker on Baam. A microchip, some sort of piercing or jewelry that most people wouldn't think to remove. He gets kidnapped, separated, hijacked? No sweat, two seconds, got him.
I don't condone tracking people, but it's a safety precaution at this point in the story. Lol
Anytime I'm concerned about fucking something up, I remember that this made it into an academic text and I suddenly don't feel so bad anymore.
Blue Thryssa after the events of Season 3: Are you fucking kidding me?! Seriously?! Anything else?!

Okay, so rewatching season 5 and maybe I'm a bit behind on the conversation, but who the hell stabbed Atsushi in episode 1? Is it explained in the manga (or even in the manga)? I'm assuming the sword is Amenogozen since it's clearly a katana and not a broad sword like Bram was stuck on. Although it could be something else since it's not glowing purple? But since Amenogozen can cut through space and time, then I assume it can cut into Anne's room. Regardless of how it got in there, who do we think stabbed Atsushi and could this mean someone's going to jump backwards in time? I hate time travel because it tends to break continuity, but I'm not sure how else to explain that scene. Thoughts?
The first time I saw this when I watched the anime I straight up was like, "Okay, they have that type of friendship." It reads like an inside joke to me. Like they're referencing something from when they worked together, and it just became a running joke that no one else would probably understand.
Bones robbed us of Dazai literally laughing out loud at Chuuya's rich girl act.
