So I Was Reading Wan! On Mangadex Earlier, And I Got To Chapter 166. I Noticed This Panel Had Two Very

Hi! Are you able to make a “bro, I am straight up not having a good time” but with aku instead of atsushi? You don’t have to!

beast Akutagawa

No, for real though. I'm thinking about Atsushi having some real case of separation anxiety from Akutagawa after the doa events. Before, he would have never, ever expected that losing Akutagawa would have effected him; but the days following his death, before they met again and before Akutagawa came back, where a new hell he never experienced before. Feeling like half of him was physically, violently teared from him, struggling to cope, trying to get used to live with the feeling of missing a piece of himself. A wound his ability can't regenerate no matter how much he irrationally prays for it to. And when Akutagawa is back, like a dream, like a miracle, the idea of losing him again is something debilitating and terrifying Atsushi just can't tolerate. He can't leave his side for even one instant. He wakes up lost and terrified searching around for Akutagawa because he fell again in the nightmare of living in a world where he isn't there. Just yeah

bsd villains are like “we gotta stop JRR Tolkien and Dr. Seuss before they blow up the entire city with remote activated petrol bombs they’ve rigged onto children in the sewers and we need to decipher the code from the Rosetta Stone hidden in the mafia control room.”

Wrote an indulgent sskk oneshot where Atsushi finally gets to ask Akutagawa why he saved him :>

Asagiri please I'm begging you I NEED a scene where sskk talk about each other's trauma and trace each other's scars

Like just imagine Atsushi gently touching the scar on Akutagawa's neck with tears in his eyes as they talk about their pasts IT WOULD BE THE THERAPY I NEED

IMAGINING AKUTAGAWA WITH ATTACHMENT ISSUES AFTER ATSUSHI DIED IN FRONT OF HIM (or vice versa)

God I know they suck at actually communicating their feelings with words and instead die for each other, but I can't get the possibility of Akutagawa being majorly effected by Atsushi's death enough to where he can't bear to leave Atsushi alone, out of my head

(side note: I think Akutagawa should join the Agency. We already know from beast he'd make a pretty decent detective)

I know Akutagawa's terrified of losing Atsushi. And Atsushi had to die to save him for him to even realize that 🙏 Asagiri you wizard I love how you write Sskk's relationship

But like, just imagine an Akutagawa trailing Atsushi around like a lost dog (one could almost say...a stray dog) on his days off or Akutagawa constantly checks up on him and calls him or just like small little, caring things like that. Akutagawa with the realization of how much Atsushi means to him

Also, speaking of sskk clinginess; sskk reunion

Asagiri is most likely going to do what none of us expects with however he approaches the sskk reunion, but oh my goodness every new chapter that drops changes my ideas for how it'll unfold

I wonder if they'll talk. If they'll hug. They should probably hug. And talk. They really need to talk atp

And you know they're going to argue. But not a real argument, the kind of sskk argument that they only do to talk about their actual problems

Ohhhh there's just so many layers to sskk and I don't know if I can pluck them all apart. And right now I'm really just wondering about the what ifs of their changed relationship

(I'm absolutely PINING for a chance of Atsushi asking "do you hate me?" which makes Akutagawa have to answer with his current/future character growth)

this is a random ask but who do you think would fall for the other first, Akutagawa or Atsushi?

akutagawa would be the first to fall in love, but atsushi would be the first to realize that the feeling is love. like, akutagawa falls for atsushi pretty early in their knowing each other but doesn't realize it's love and doesn't come to terms with that for a while, and then atsushi starts to fall for him too and almost immidiately identifies it as a crush or maybe even being in love

post-corruption

This reminded me that bsd season five was finished all the way back in Sept 2023 oh my GOD the nostalgia 😭

I can't wait until the manga finally gets to the scene where Akutagawa has to confess his love AHEM I mean where Akutagawa has to tell Atsushi why he saved him

Questions I need to be answered after the last episode:

Is Jouno okay?

Is Tachihara okay?

What is Dostoyevsky's ability?

Why did the vampire curse not work on Atsushi?

What has it been of Sigma?

What will it be of Gogol now?

What will it be of the Hunting Dogs now?

What was of Akutagawa's coat?

Is Akutagawa still terminally ill?

Who wrote the “help me” note?

Did the ada get the page? Are they going to use it?

Why didn't Akutagawa die after the vampire curse ended?

Shouldn't Bram be dead? He told Aya so himself?

What was the doa plan Atsushi was so torn about?

Explanation on the entire two hours later sequence, obviously.

Also questions I need to be answered after the last episode:

Did Akutagawa answer Atsushi on why he saved him?

Did Akutagawa answer Atsushi on why he saved him?

Did Akutagawa answer Atsushi on why he saved him?
