Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 8

The mix of powers and intrigue keeps the story fresh, but I wonder if the blend was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

Some characters' backstories and motivations felt richer, making me more invested. Was this a deliberate shift in storytelling approach?

The blend of historical references and modern settings creates such a unique universe. I'm curious whether the author drew from specific sources or crafted it organically.
