Dazai-Fan NPCs Aren't Villains

The book broke.

The world inside it broke too.

Strange monsters and beings called "Antitheses" appeared in the broken world within the book.

What are Antitheses?

They are indentations in the writing, dolls in the basement, and the loved ones, friends, and life's work of the living.

They have never lived, and they have never died.

In short, they are beings as innocent and cruel as children.

Mori Mari patted the head of a certain fake AI from Yokohama and told him to call her Mom.

Idol Ling took the hand of the girl called "Kyouka-chan" and sighed, "You should have been my husband."

Train conductor Conan Doyle and driver Sherlock Holmes welcomed an applicant for the position of "train attendant."

Ooba Yozo looked gloomily at the Bandage Freak, silently condemning the fate he'd been assigned.

Everything that should and shouldn't exist had appeared here.

Tan Jun, a man who had never been alive, loved reading and writing, and his favorite book was No Longer Human.

Tan Jun, coated in breadcrumbs: I'm just an ordinary cooking enthusiast.

The Hat Rack: You're clearly a troublemaker on par with the mackerel.

While everyone else seriously pondered how to break out of this predicament, he hacked his way through with a cleaver, mastering every cooking method from frying to boiling. Even the monsters dreaded him, earning him the title of Hannibal of the Monster World.

A horror movie for monsters, a food show for humans.

After returning to the world and seeing the comments recorded outside the book, Armed Detective Agency Dazai tried to bundle up the food and Tan Jun together: This cat is mine!

Theme: Never give up hope, no matter what
