“I think Akutagawa is a character who has changed just as much, or even more than Atsushi. Generally, we try not to alter the characters of a series, because there is the risk of misinterpretation of the character and of losing fans. But Akutagawa's change is truly a glorious growth, a great achievement, and could even be called a proof of the power of human beings.” — K a f k a A s a g i r i

Young Ace April issue cover, featuring the new manga adaptation of the Untold Origins novel. Releases on March 4th.

Atsushi placed a finger on his lips, signaling Kunikida to keep his voice down. After that, he silently approached a gray garbage can at the street corner before suddenly removing the lid. “Boo!” “Eep!” Atsushi shouted, causing the garbage can to fly into the air along with the person inside. “Dazai?!” Kunikida was dumbfounded. “What the hell are you doing here?” After landing on his side in the garbage, Dazai simply blinked. “I’m really sorry, Dazai.” Atsushi lowered his head into a bow. “I know I shouldn’t have done it, but I’m probably never going to get another chance, so I just couldn’t help myself.” “…” Dazai’s eyes were wide-open in astonishment. “Are you mad…?” Atsushi timidly asked. “Um… I’m really sorry! I, like— I just acted on impulse, and…” Dazai still didn’t say a word. He wasn’t moving, either. In fact, he didn’t even seem to be breathing. “D-Dazai…? Dazai?” Atsushi rushed over to Dazai and tried to help him up, but the moment he touched him, he leaped back in disbelief. “H-he’s ice-cold!” Atsushi trembled. “He doesn’t have a pulse! He’s dead!” His face pale, Atsushi looked back at Kunikida when all of a sudden… “Boo!” “Ahhh!” Being scared so close up caused Atsushi to stumble back and roll over on the ground. “Ha-ha-ha! I never thought you’d be able to scare me like that! You’ve grown, Atsushi! The only way I knew how to reward you was by showing you my secret technique: Cardiac Arrest. It must be an honor.”
