Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 8 (light novel): Storm Bringer (Bungo Stray Dogs (Light Novel))

Product Information

However, it is implied in the epilogue that Chūya is in fact the original, making this Chūya the clone. Verlaine would be a few minutes too late and find the room being emptied with Chuuya still hung on he wall. Chūya, Adam, and Shirase head to a secret military facility, where they meet N who introduces himself as Chūya's "father". It has been a year since Chūya joined the Port Mafia after ending the "Arahabaki Incident" with Osamu Dazai. 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.

However, if you’re already familiar with Bungo Stray Dogs and would like to read the light novels for yourself, go ahead and check them out over on Yen Press. The mystery behind the Arahabaki and Verlaine incident in Fifteen has now been unraveled in this book. If I may add, this novel is set as the continuation of the novel "Dazai, Chuuya, 15 years old" which was released about a year and a half ago. In disbelief that his partner hid it from him, Verlaine leaves N hanging on a tower crane and sets off to kill his last target, Mori. Adam breaks Shirase out of jail at Chūya's behest, but Verlaine storms the facility and corners them.Verlaine survives after Rimbaud used his ability to resuscitate him and comes to terms with Rimbaud before the latter finally passes on, and Verlaine gets confined in a Mafia underground shelter as an executive training assassins. He was the boy who was thought to have originally possessed the self-contradicting ability that created Chūya. 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 soon regroup with Adam and Dazai, where they find Verlaine and N in tow escaping out of the facility. The events of SB take place over like, at most, 2 weeks, between the Flags’ deaths and the final fight.N soon subdues Chūya and attempts to force Arahabaki out of him to control the singularity, until Verlaine frees him. After Chūya is shown Verlaine's memories on how Guivre was thwarted nine years ago, Adam initiates his Final Protocol, his secret mission, and sacrifices himself to incinerate Guivre using the Shell built inside him, but to little avail. But as he makes plans to move up, a man by the name of Paul Verlaine—claiming to be his older brother—appears and vows to assassinate everyone he cares about! Now Chuuya must team up with Adam, an AI investigator from Europe, to stop this madman before another storm engulfs Yokohama. For his final journal entry, Rimbaud wrote having gifted Verlaine with a bowler hat that could control command sequences using ability metal powder.

It’s been roughly one year since Chuuya Nakahara joined the Port Mafia, and he’s determined to become an executive before fellow mafioso Osamu Dazai. It is highly implied that the current Chūya is actually the original Chūya, due to a scar on his right wrist that would not have been present in an artifical skill-derived life-form, since the scar was obtained long before his skill was turned into a singularity.Bungo Stray Dogs: Storm Bringer by Kafka Asagiri and Sango Harukawa as always, follows a year after the events of the last light novel.

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. Chūya soon escapes from him, only to be caught by Verlaine who reveals having slayed the Flags moments ago during Chūya's absence. It forces Chuuya to confront the possibility of his own inhumanity while also pairing him with Adam, an almost human-like machine.To Shirahama-sama, the editor who has always been patient and forgiving with the schedule and proofreading of my work. A girl with nothing special who believes that everything will be alright if we can learn to accept it as it is 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. Chuuya being mostly unresponsive (that was a whole lot of physical and mental trauma in a very short time), the whole thing hit way too close to home.
