Bungo Stray Dogs: Dazai, Chuuya, Age Fifteen, Vol. 1

Set seven years before the events of the main series, this prequel follows a teenage Osamu Dazai as Port Mafia boss Ougai Mori sends him to investigate rumors that the Mafia's deceased former leader has been spotted walking the streets. The case leads Dazai into a volatile encounter with Chuuya Nakahara, a gravity-manipulating young enforcer with a temper to match his power, sparking the tense partnership that will eventually make them infamous as the "Double Black" duo. Shiwasu Hoshikawa's art brings a darker, younger version of these fan-favorite characters to life before their reputations were made.
