[Bungo Stray Dogs] A Few Stories About Why Dazai Admitted I Was His Son When I Called Chuuya Mom

One day, thanks to the author unleashing their evil clutches (crossed out), some poor kid experienced the legendary open-your-eyes-and-find-yourself-in-another-world transmigration.

The poor kid raised his head to the heavens and roared, "For fuck's sake, how did I transmigrate without wearing a character's skin, huh?!"

The author's voice (crossed out) off-screen voice came from the sky: "Take a look at yourself. Are you really going to claim you're not wearing someone else's skin?"

The poor kid suddenly realized that he'd transmigrated wearing the skin of Oba Yozo, from Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human, a literary masterpiece from the real world, and had ended up in Bungo Stray Dogs, the anime about literary greats who don't write and instead run with the mafia, which he'd finished watching right before bed.

So, in Yokohama, a city teeming with big shots, he resolutely decided to cling to Osamu Dazai's coattails! He was written by Osamu Dazai, after all. Dazai was his real dad!

So, after Mr. Oba Yozo had dragged Osamu Dazai out of the water for the 101st time, he fell into deep thought: This dad of mine seems a little off, and he refuses to admit he's my father!

Better get ready and head to the Port Mafia to find Mom Chuuya!

They say that very night, Osamu Dazai chased him all the way to the Port Mafia (not really), crying and wailing (not really), screaming at the top of his lungs (not really), throwing a tantrum on the floor (not really), demanding that they return his "wife" and child.
