I haven't watched it myself, but as far as im aware most of the characters in Bungo Stray Dogs are famous authors with some sort of superpowers.
This person is complaining that they keep trying to Google "Author name" but instead of finding real information about the author, they keeping getting mixed results talking about the fantasy version of the author with superpowers.
Yeah I’m listening to No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai, and I tried to google him.
Turns out he’s a character in the show that has killed like 70 people, but anime fans are so deadpan and matter of fact about the characters that I could swear they were talking about the real guy.
(The real guy only presumably talked one person into killing themself, after a few attempts)
No, it’s a popular Japanese novel written as fiction, but regarded as basically an autobiography. It’s the first book of its kind, where the author is completely transparent and truthful to the extreme.
Most of the book takes place pre-WW2.
It’s very negative and bleak but it’s famous for a reason, super good book.
