Ik I haven’t drawn in a while and I will I promise…but look !! (I took this ss yesterday ignore the date)
Atsushi is one of the strongest written protagonists encountered in manga. Which means that for as many strengths as he has, he has an equal amount of weaknesses. His biggest weakness is highlighted all the more in his relationship with Akutagawa, and the friction between the two as they bring out the best in each other while also simultaneously seeing the worst in one another. For a deeper analysis of Atsushi and his struggles using his connection to Akutagawa to guide us, read underneath the cut.

it really hurts me to see so many gazans asking us for help, though that's through no fault of their own. they've been forced to use a social media site that they're probably not familiar with (because tumblr has kind of faded out of popular consciousness), to interact with us in a second language, to distinguish themselves from the scammers who are taking advantage of genocide, and to ask strangers for help. i don't think there are any cultures where it's easy to ask for help like this, but i'm intimately familiar with how humiliating it can be in arab culture. please be kind, gracious and helpful to the gazans in your inbox. this is a desperate time for them, and in addition to the physical danger inflicted by "israel", the prices of basic resources in gaza are extremely high due to scarcity, and those that manage to escape to egypt are financially exploited by landlords there and have an extremely difficult time finding work due to their unofficial status as refugees. these families will continue to need our help and i hope we can all continue to provide it to the best of our ability.
Count your days, kim dokja.
“The desperation of an ordinary man”
Honestly speaking, Asagiri the author loves Sigma. I am truly happy as a writer to be able to create such an enemy character. I like him so much I ended up putting him in Mersault, which is not my original plan. That I feel a little sorry. Anyway. “If I become desperate, I wonder what I could do?” - is there anyone who has never once thought about that? No one. I’m sure we all have that thought. “Maybe if I put my mind into it, even someone with no talent like me could break through all the walls of this world.” Sigma is the one who took on this statement and faced a huge wall by himself. As a character on the enemy side on top of that.
<Bungou Stray Dogs Chapter 75 - Translation by akai-koutei>
If Sigma had been a protagonist on the side of justice, it would have been a beautiful story that ends with something like, “That’s right. Even an ordinary person can defeat a huge enemy.” However, since Sigma is an enemy character, it is possible to dwell on the question “What is the actual truth?” in the end. The brutal truth. I want you to see what lies at the end of the path he has shown us, and the outcome of his vow to “definitely win” here. And I want you to try and think about the “desperation” that will gush out of you one day and about how it will end.
