A year after joining the Port Mafia, 16-year-old Chūya has now made a name in the organization managing a gemstone black market. It has been a year since Chūya joined the Port Mafia after ending the "Arahabaki Incident" with Osamu Dazai.

By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. A passenger airplane crash causes a forest fire in a certain village, and from the wreckage emerges a humanoid detective from Europole named Adam Frankenstein. After some time, Chūya decides against meeting his parents to Mori's confusion, as Chūya merely asserts that the Port Mafia is now his family. The conflict lasted for 88 days, nearly 3 months, bringing us to a bare minimum of it starting at the tail end of January.However, a man by the name of Paul Verlaine—the king of assassins who claims to be Chuuya’s older brother—suddenly appears, vowing to murder everyone he cares about! If you like love/hate relationships, references to French poets, and reincarnation storylines, you may want to take a look at our previous review of Bungo Stray Dogs: Dazai, Chuuya, Age Fifteen. They hold a party at a bar where they are sneaked upon by Adam, who asks Chūya to cooperate in an investigation involving the assassin Paul Verlaine, whom Adam believes wishes to harm Chūya.

He was the boy who was thought to have originally possessed the self-contradicting ability that created Chūya. The PM might have mostly avoided taking part in it (canon reason why they managed to take over the underworld in its wake), but they still suffered from it all the same, especially since they had just spent and lost a lot of resources during their fight against Verlaine.Chūya soon escapes from him, only to be caught by Verlaine who reveals having slayed the Flags moments ago during Chūya's absence.

Verlaine would be a few minutes too late and find the room being emptied with Chuuya still hung on he wall. The assassin says he wishes to kill everyone associated with Chūya and partially opens the Gate within the boy, causing gravity to go haywire and unleash Arahabaki's flames, until Osamu Dazai arrives to nullify it. To my partner, Harukawa Sango-sensei, who has always adorned the novels with their ever-beautiful and perfect artworks. In his journal, Rimbaud had detailed his first encounter with Verlaine, then known as artificial ability-derived life-form Black No.That guy was a wholeseller Chuuya was supposed to be making a deal with for the jewel trade he was in charge of. Many shocks emerge over the course of its three-hundred-sixty-four pages – making this the longest in the series by a wide margin! What lies ahead of his path, for now, would remain a secret, but I can only tell you one thing that's for sure — that road is not a smooth and easy one.
