personal reccomendation
on how to enjoy bsd !

1. season 1 all episodes
2. read osamu dazai’s entrance exam ✧
3. read untold origins ❖
4. season 2 all episodes
5. read osamu dazai & the dark era ✧
6. read storm bringer ❖
7. season 3 ( watch up to episode 29 (s3e4) )
8. then watch / read dead apple ❖
9. continue watching season 3
10. read the manga (ch 54 onwards)
11. stop at ch 80 and read 55 minutes (trust me.) ❖
12. once finished, read beast ❖- the manga is good if you want to continue on with the plot. i suggest reading from chapter 54 onwards, then once caught up, read from the beginning. this will give a smoother feeling to bsd and also there are scenes that the anime did not cover. :)
- ayatsuji yukito vs yougoku atsuhiko is based in the bsd universe, but does not contain anything related to the ongoing plot- you can read it at your own enjoyment without being spoiled !
- if you're done and caught up with everything, i suggest reading the literature by the characters! it's a very enriching experience and also allows you to appreciate the writing's beauty.
- i suggest actually being active bsdtwt AFTER you have finished reading up to chapter 101, as it is pretty spoiler heavy✧ - optional, covered in anime
❖ - character backstory, will help you understand the plot
