(Bungo Stray Dogs) A World with Only You

God: Young lady, do you like Bungo Stray Dogs?

Girl: I love it!

God: How much do you love it?

Girl: So, so much!

God: But the world of Bungo Stray Dogs is going to be destroyed. You're the only one who can save it now. Will you do it?

God: I have very little divine power left. You're my last candidate, and your answer will decide their fate.

Girl: ...I'll do it.

Girl: Why me?

God: It was all the choice of Steins;Gate, young lady!

The world of Bungo Stray Dogs is on the brink of destruction. Guided by a god, the girl must venture into the shallow worlds attached to it, retrieve the souls of the world's pillars, and send them back into the Bungo Stray Dogs world.

Driven by her love for her favorite characters, the girl embarks on a long journey.

Includes scenes of the female lead presenting as male. Bonds formed include, but are not limited to: friends, family, rivals...

And so on.

There probably won't be a pairing by the end of the main story. After all, how can you talk about romance when you're not even in the same world?

Whether there'll be a romantic free-for-all after the main story ends depends on whether I write a sequel.

The short arcs are another matter.

It's tagged as romance, but who knows? The female lead can be either a woman or a man (more or less).

I agonized over choosing between no pairing and romance, and eventually picked romance. The female lead was a girl to begin with, after all.

This is one of my rare gentle stories (?). I've given the protagonist permission to fall in love (??)

Osamu Dazai: "I Don't Exist in This World"

Ranpo Edogawa: "The Glass House"

Chuya Nakahara: "Your Lie"

These three are tentatively planned for now. I'll do my best to write them well.

Theme: When you help someone else, aren't you also helping yourself?
