Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 1

Blending real authors with fantastical powers is such a unique idea. I wonder if the author drew from specific works or personalities for these characters.

Some relationships felt like they developed quickly, which kept me on my toes. Was this intentional to set up future conflicts or themes?

The visuals are so expressive and moody — I’d love to know if the artist had specific influences or techniques in mind when designing the panels.
