[Mainly Bungo Stray Dogs] How to Successfully Mold Black Mud

Please don’t fall in love too soon,

Especially not with a cowardly mess.

Or you’ll spend a long time waiting.

You can’t let your love run wild, or he’ll melt into the earth and escape.

You can’t pick him up, or he’ll slip through your fingers.

You have to push him into the sunlight at just the right moment,

Then wait for a certain dawn.

· Details are foreshadowed everywhere. Plot > romance.

· The female lead relies on her wits, but she’s also a maniac.

· The male lead, Dazai, doesn’t officially appear until the second volume.

· The story is a slow burn and may get angsty.

· A crossover centered on Bungo Stray Dogs. It respects the original work, but has a mountain of headcanons and original characters, possibly a lot of them.
