YANKING. Is The Correct Word.

People joke about Dazai and Chuuya being romantically experienced or whatever, but I think it's the opposite. Chuuya doesn't know what that stuff is because Mori thinks it's funny

Very similar frames

Their hair is the same shape btw

It’s the male version of Kakegurui

They’re so cheeky

Just reading Fifteen right now, and I love the way you can tell who’s talking by the shape of the speech bubbles.

And how they’re being said.

Chuuya’s are sharp and ridged.

Whereas, Dazai’s are monotonously the same soft, calm shape every time he talks.

Corrections on a few things from @emonemogoblin

Chuuya’s outfit makes me think so many thoughts. (Not that way, you dirty bastards.)

First of all. The way the colours slowly get darker with each layer, signifying that underneath it all, he’s got a pure heart. Good intent. But tries to keep it hidden, probably for self preservation reasons.

The neck cross shows how guarded he is.

The collar is to show his loyalty, just like a dog…

The gloves, while also having a physical purpose, symbolise his need to separate himself with the blood on his hands. It barely ever reaches his hands so he tells himself it’s alright.

And the hat, definitely for height purposes. I don’t have another reason for the hat, but google says possibly for status. If so, it’s probably another self preservation attempt.

This implies that there was a specific number of times he was supposed to get punched.

Very Kunikida-esque behaviour.

ALSO:

I’m claiming the beauty mark to be true because I have one on the opposite eye.

Their hair is the same shape btw

Thinking aloud here;

This isn’t me saying you shouldn’t ship soukoku (or literally any other ship) because idc do what you want. There’s nothing wrong with shipping.

But I think everyone should forget about the romantics and just acknowledge the bond characters like Dazai and Chuuya have, without boiling it down to romantic (or sexual) attraction to one another.

Just for yourself to think about.

Regardless of what anyone else’s opinion is.

I just find that aspect kind of beautiful in itself.

And I think more people should recognise that as well.
