Episode 12

Dazai and Chuuya,
Pretentious Fourteen-Year-Olds

Dazai Osamu

Second-year
middle schooler

Look at you, with all your adornments.

Do you think you look cool?

And, what, do you think you look
cool being wrapped in bandages?

Nakahara Chuuya

Second-year
middle schooler

Menacing

He's pretty badass.

Do you really need that eyepatch?
Are you that desperate for attention?

Oh, I have a sty.

I rubbed my eye with dirty hands.

That's nasty! Wash your hands!

S-So, what, is that bandage around your
whole body from a huge injury, too?

No, this is to keep my powers at bay.

Oh, so that is something you do.

Jeez, you made me worry.

I am the reincarnation of
a mage from ancient times.

I have a pact with the elementals of
fire, wind, water, light, and darkness,

allowing me to control all
the elements by my will.

Really? Wow.

Actually, it is kind of worrying.

And this is a conduit through which I can
channel the infinite power of the ether.

And this talisman seals away the
demon that slumbers within me.

This is bad!

The demon is awakening!

That's way too much stuff.

Says you, Chuuya.

You're pretty showy for no reason.

Are you compensating for your size?

Shut your mouth!

Well, whatever.

Let me show you.

Custom-made gear, each twenty kilograms,
weighing in at 80 kilograms total!

And there's more.

If I take off my shoes,
each weighing 50 kilograms,

I can move four times faster than normal!

I look like four people to you, don't I?

Bring it, Dazai.

I feel so light!

Really? Good for you.

Hey!

Don't you think I'm cool?!

Isn't it every boy's dream?!

That's a bit too stuffy for me.

I'd rather read books.

One of those books?!

The Poetry
of Goethe

On Love
and Freedom

I spend so much time studying lately,
my brain's more active than ever.

It's the perfect time to read
sophisticated, unintelligible books.

You just admitted that you
don't understand them.

Here, you can have this.

Morbid Notes
on Poetry

Oh, jeez, this is rough.

I never knew Dazai did
this kind of thing, too.

Let's see...

"Yet again, Chuuya wouldn't
get out of my sight today."

"I wish he would get out of my sight."

"Needless to say, I don't want
to have to look away first."

What is this?

A notebook of my grievances with you.

That's so morbid.

I also have 26 more volumes at home.

You could just say it to my face!

"Chuuya put lemon on the karaage
without asking. My life sucks."

So petty!

"Chuuya cranks the echo up too
high at karaoke. k*ll me."

Why do you care?!

You'll regret this when I get big!

Huh? Isn't that just a hypothetical
on an impossible situation?

That's enough, you two.

You two really are the best
of friends, aren't you?

No, we aren't!

Mori-sensei...

Mori Ougai

Custodian

Randou-sensei...

Randou

Home Instructor

Are you cold, Randou-sensei?

Their style of exchange,
so typical of middle schoolers...

It's so embarrassing to watch.

The chills they give me...

You've been watching this whole time?!

That's so shady!

Relax, Chuuya-kun.

If you want to grow taller,

I'll remove your Achilles'
tendon and stretch you out.

What is this doctor talking about?

You, too, Dazai-kun.

I'll give you these earmuffs.

No, thank you.

Thank goodness.

Without them, my ears get so cold
they feel like they're going to fall off.

Why did you offer to give them to me?

The school bell already
rang a long while ago.

You'd best go to class.

You're having pudding for lunch today.

Now, go.

Mori-sensei, do you really
believe those two

will be able to maintain
their peace until lunchtime?

Maybe I'm not suited to being a teacher.

Wan!

Shorts

I've been waiting all day for this pudding.

Let's go to the rooftop to
enjoy it in the breeze.

Dude! Watch where you're going!

You're the one who crashed into me!

This is your fault! Not mine!

Perhaps if you argued with such vigor,

I was going to eat on the rooftop!

your body heat might rise,
curing you of your chills.

That was my plan! Stop copying me!

I appreciate your advice,
but I will have to decline.

Episode 13

A Day in
Yokohama

Jeez, this wine is so expensive.

I can't understand why anyone would
spend so much money on liquor.

I like some good booze,

but the best drink is the one
you drink with a charming lady.

Well, today's a good day for shopping.

Where should I go?

A bargain discount on bandages?

How stupid.

Why would you even need bandages if you
don't get hurt in the first place?

You have to be a wimp to
want to buy this stuff.

Pathetic.

This isn't what I want.

Stare...

What an absurd design for a hat.

Who would buy these?

I don't think I could hold in my laughter

if someone walked in front
of me wearing one of these.

I'll have to hope I never see such a person.

Ten newborn
retrievers

Looking
for homes

"Ten newborn retrievers

looking for homes."

Adopting puppies, huh?

If only I had the means,
I'd take nine of them.

Dunno about that last one.

"Ten newborn retrievers

looking for homes."

I wouldn't want to take care of
a dog, even if I were paid to.

That one looked cute, though.

Look!

I need those!

They're so cheap!

I'll buy them all! Yup!

Man, I'd look down on anyone who walked
past these things without buying them.

Th-These hats!

Man!

I've never seen such awesome designs.

I'm sold!

I can just imagine all the praise.

What's that over there?

I've always wanted to try this wine!

I never thought I'd run into it here!

This is a rarity.

I'll have to buy this!

That was a good shopping trip.

I haven't had such a
fulfilling day in a while.

Look at all that tacky junk he bought.

Whatever.

You'd get jealous if I told
you what I bought today.

I'll let you off the hook.

That's my line.

You'd cry if you saw what I got.

Check it out. First...

Not interested.

I ought to k*ll you.

Stop following me.

Shut up. You're the one following me.

Hey, damn it!

You saw, didn't you? Say something!

Only a diamond
can polish
a diamond.

Only a diamond can polish a diamond.

Only a hand can wash a hand.

Only a hand
can wash
a hand.

If you want to know what a dog feels,
you'll have to become a dog.

If you want to know
what a dog feels,
you'll have to
become a dog.

Episode 14

The Boy and
the Puppy

Musical

The Boy
and the Puppy

The Boy and the Puppy was such a good play.

The boy, on a rainy day,
met an abandoned puppy.

The two grow up together.

The puppy's so adorable, helping the boy...

It was just so good.

If I were to come across
an abandoned puppy...

Woof.

A bark!

Could it have come true?!

Woof.

Oh, it's just Chuuya.

Rattle
rattle

I saw nothing.

I saw nothing at all.

Good grief.

I can't believe I'd get trapped like that.

That's animal abuse, Chuuya.

What I saw was something a lot
more grotesque than an animal.

What the hell is your problem?

Atsushi-kun asked me
before if I don't like dogs.

It's true that they are my arch enemy.

So, in order to try to get inside the
mind of a dog, I tried becoming one.

Turns out it fits me
way better than I'd expected.

You seemed pretty comfortable, for sure.

I suppose I am best suited
to being a stray dog.

I want to rip that nose off you.

Musical

The Boy
and the Puppy

I guess you've been interested
in dogs, too, huh?

You want to adopt a dog?

Even though you're already
kind of like a dog?

What is that supposed to mean?!

You want an obedient dog that'll
do as its master says, huh?

I get it! Jeez!

I mean, I'm not particularly
looking for one,

but if I saw a shivering
puppy in front of me...

I'd take care of it for life.

That kind of thing doesn't
actually happen, you know.

Are you sure you can actually
take care of a dog?

Of course I can.

If I had a dog, I'd feed it steak every day!

I'd buy it anything it wanted!

Oh, man, Chuuya would be terrible
at taking care of dogs.

What?

Nothing's a bigger waste of
time than talking to you.

Later.

Wait, Chuuya.

What?

Meat

You can practice taking
care of a dog with me.

Wanna adopt me?

You just want steak!

Nah, I'm kidding.

I shudder at the thought of
living with a slug like you.

Anyway, I don't think you're
ready to have a dog yet.

Shut up!

How to
Raise Puppies

How to Raise Puppies, huh?

What?!

Is it wrong for me to read this book?

I didn't say anything.

What are you doing, Dazai-san?

This lifestyle's kind of grown on me.

I'm addicted.
