One Hundred Ways to Die While Winning Over Dazai

Kamishiro Kiwakazu was an ordinary high school boy on the surface. In secret, he was a professional hitman who took jobs on the black market, as well as a devoted fan of fictional characters.

After finishing a job, he got caught in a plane crash. This time, he finally died.

When he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated into an anime he'd once followed, as the least noticeable and least favored son of a powerful businessman's chairman.

It couldn't be more perfect! As a die-hard Dazai fan, he only wanted to catch a glimpse of Dazai from afar. Then he could die happy.

But who could have guessed that his deadbeat father was a senior member of the Port Mafia? And not just that, he was secretly betraying the organization!

He was in a desperate situation from the start. The Port Mafia was wiping out the remaining traitors. Because he stared at Dazai with too much passion, Dazai himself executed him. A painless death, all in all.

But he soon realized something: he... couldn't die?

It seemed he'd gained a golden finger that let him revive infinitely and start over. But it was no use. He kept getting killed in all sorts of situations.

On one hand, the terror of dying over and over tormented him. On the other, he was ecstatic to admire Dazai's peerless beauty up close.

Just as he started surviving longer and longer, and thought he might finally be able to keep his head down and live, Dazai leaned over with a beaming smile and asked, "Kiwakazu-kun, how many times can you still revive?"

Kiwakazu: !!!

Why did Dazai remember the previous loops?! Could the golden finger be disabled by No Longer Human, too?

At last, after escaping the cycle of death, he received a new ability as a reward: invisibility.

As a Dazai fan who'd taken his devotion to a new level, the first thing he did was turn invisible and spy on Dazai!

His targets included, but weren't limited to, Dazai's cute expressions, cute bandages, and cute voice... If he could also see him changing his bandages or taking a bath, that would be a once-in-a-lifetime blessing.

But every time, he was caught on the spot, followed by another familiar scene of getting killed.

Dazai had a complicated expression. "Kiwakazu-kun, has no one ever told you that you seem like a pervert?"

Kiwakazu answered frankly: The reason to live is Dazai!

Later...

He knelt before Dazai, his gaze hazy, while Dazai gently pressed a hand to the back of his head.

"This feels like I'm doing something really awful," Dazai murmured, though there wasn't a trace of guilt in his eyes.

P.S. The protagonist seems naturally bold and sunny, but is secretly a devoted stalker. Though in Dazai's eyes, he probably hasn't hidden it very well...
