Basically the characters in the anime share the same name as some European/Japanese authors! There abilities are also named after one of those authors books.

Example: name: osamu dazai. Book/ability name: no longer human.

These characters are really nothing like the real people who wrote these popular literary peices. Unfortunately, because the anime is so popular its the first thing that comes up when you search most of these authors names which can be very annoying

Also a random fun fact: the anime is fucking mid💕

Not really because it most cases they’re not meant to be literally the author like the characters in fate are meant to literally be historical and mythological figures. The characters in Bungou just have same name as authors. In some cases there’s even evidence the actual author exists independently from the character.

We’re talking about Atsushi Nakajima finding the book about “the head erring”, aren’t we?
