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.
my response to 121.5
They’re so cheeky
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
TW again for talks of suicide and suicidal ideation
The fact that we know next to nothing about Dazai’s life before he was found by Mori after a suicide attempt apart from he was wandering the streets aimlessly by himself is a little unnerving.
Because Dazai was already really fucked up before joining the PM. He was already actively suicidal.
What, that was so horrific, made him chronically suicidal?
None of the other characters react this way even though all the shit they go through, apart from maybe Akutagawa. But even at that, Akutagawa isn’t chronically suicidal in the same way Dazai is. He has expressed a lack of will to live (like when he first met Dazai) but isn’t going out of his way to attempt to kill himself like Dazai does.
Chuuya is arguably one of the most tragic characters right now that we know of, and he also isn’t chronically suicidal like Dazai. And man has had it rough.
This isn’t to say that something inherently had to or did happen to Dazai to make him this way. Maybe it’s just something he’s unfortunate enough to just have and it doesn’t necessarily have an exact cause.
But then the quote:
“Anything I would never want to lose is always lost. It is a given that everything that is worth wanting will be lost the moment I obtain it. There’s nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering.”
This implies that something did happen.
So, what was it?

I haven’t finished the LNs yet so take this with grace. And let me know of anything that might allude or contradict this.
It’s the male version of Kakegurui
They’re so cheeky
Might be stupid because Oda literally says that a man gave him a “very rare book”.
It’s obviously his story or something to do with him
I’m rewatching the start of Season 2 and haven’t read the manga (yet, I’m working on it). But here’s just a random thought.
I’ll add my evidence later, ig.
I do remember Dazai laughing maniacally at Fyodor talking about God and then saying “you don’t actually know anything about God, do you?”
And before that, in the second season, a lot of people, including Dazai, hold Oda as one of the most powerful people they know, but we aren’t exactly shown why apart from him being virtuous (but that’s not why, because Dazai tries to talk him into and trick him into killing. Which also ties in with Dazai possibly being Satan/Judas because that’s also repeated a million times and y’know the devil tempts the good bla bla)
Theres a lot more I could add, I just need to gather my thoughts.
Their hair is the same shape btw
