A manga has just announced that after 14 years of running, the first part is completed for now. However, many readers see a dark future if things continue as they have been.
What manga is this? The manga that has been running since 2012 is Bungo Stray Dogs. It is an action-mystery series featuring supernatural abilities set in the fictional Japanese port city of Yokohama.
The young orphan Atsushi Nakajima is thrown out of his orphanage and is on the brink of starvation. By chance, he saves a man named Osamu Dazai from drowning, although Dazai was actually trying to take his own life.
Osamu Dazai is a member of the “Armed Detective Agency”. These are individuals with supernatural abilities who take on cases that are too dangerous for the police or military. Atsushi also discovers that he has a special power and joins the agency. The remaining story mainly revolves around the power struggle between various organizations in Yokohama.
Fans feel mocked by the manga
What are the latest news? At the end of the current chapter 129, there is a note that the next chapter will conclude Part 1. After 14 years and 130 chapters, the mangaka has thus officially concluded the first part for now.
So far, there is no news about Part 2. How things will proceed thereafter, whether the manga will take a short break or how the story will develop, is still unclear. However, many fans like the X account Nine of Cups speculate that it will most likely continue.
How do fans feel about it? Many fans cannot believe that this is supposed to be Part 1 for now. After all, the manga has been running for 14 years. They also hope that the author of the story of Bungo Stray Dogs will finally stop doing one thing.
The author is known for staging the deaths of main characters only to revive them a few chapters later. Readers criticize the lack of courage to include real consequences in the plot.
It happens constantly that one of the main characters has a near-death experience. They are caught in explosions, get mutilated, nearly drown, or even suffer a gunshot wound. Yet, every one of these dramatic scenes has been survived so far.
The problem is: A chapter ends dramatically with the death of a beloved character, and fans start to grieve. Only later does it turn out that it was just a trick. This makes readers feel like they have been made fools of.
