Atsushi Nakajima was kicked out of his orphanage, and now he has no place to go and no food. While he is standing by a river, on the brink of starvation, he rescues a man whimsically attempting suicide. That man is Osamu Dazai, and he and his partner Kunikida are members of a very special detective agency. They have supernatural powers and deal with cases that are too dangerous for the police or the military. They're tracking down a tiger that has appeared in the area recently, around the time Atsushi came to the area. The tiger seems to have a connection to Atsushi, and by the time the case is solved, it is clear that Atsushi's future will involve much more of Dazai and the rest of the detectives!

"If you’re into literature you will see the connection between the characters and the books they come from. "

"A good show that gets better as you watch. It's got a nice combination of over the top characters with overpowered abilities and is an easy entertaining watch. Enjoy! "

"I love this show so much! Even the ark. It starts out like a stereotypical silly anime, but very quickly I found myself enthralled and invested in the characters. <3 Great combination of action & Comedy. "

"I started this and finished this series within a two week period. All four seasons, the OVA, and the Dead Apple movie. I loved every second of it. This is probably one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Now it's rated as it is for a reason, violence is a common element, there's significant references to suicide, and there's a particularly skeevy side character in it as it goes on. But if you can see past those things you will also find deep characters, gorgeous art, and a clever literature based hook that has made me a very happy viewer."

"i cant believe gay people are real"

"Honestly the story telling is shaky, in the way they deliver it I mean. But I've never been one to care about that I just wish it was more organized with this show since there's always SM going on 😭 but this will forever be my favorite it's so comforting to me since I've loved it since 2021"
