I Feel Like The Anime Underdid Atsushi's Cuteness Which Is Such A Shame Because Chapter 41 Atsushi Is

I feel like the anime underdid Atsushi's cuteness which is such a shame because chapter 41 Atsushi is about the cutest Atsushi in the whole manga so here's chapter 41 Atsushi for your consideration

Smiley Atsushi, because we need to see more of his beautiful smile

AU where an ability user zaps and turns others into animals.

Then you've got Dazai just standing around in the agency's office surrounded by his zoo colleagues. Kunikida "the goose" Doppo still wearing his glasses and he hops up and waddles across all the desks, honking at Dazai and flapping his wings.

Kenji became a young giraffe who's constantly ducking his head so he doesn't hit it on the ceiling. He looks at the plants wanting to munch on them, but knows he shouldn't.

Atsushi's a tiger cub sunbathing by the windows, all curled up and having the best nap of his life. He's completely unbothered by the change.

Then a smack hits the window and startles Dazai. He whips around and sees a bird hit the window. A crow. And it has a tiny hat that looks a lot like Chuuya's and it's angrily pecking at the window trying to get in.

Now Dazai could just touch them all and nullify the animal ability, but he's just a little amused being surrounded by animals like a skit out of Snow White. Except most of them are angrily following him trying to get him to turn them back.

Dazai running for his life from Kunikida waddling after him as he shuts all the windows to keep crow Chuuya from coming in and smacking into him.

minor headache

Atsushi winced as he plucked another piece of glass carefully from the side of his palm. A bright red drop of blood beaded to the surface, and he discarded the shard into the bin between his feet.

He looked up when the bathroom door opened, and Akutagawa closed it gently behind him. “They’re both in bed,” he reported. “And quite contrite, I might add.”

Atsushi extracted another shard from his skin, then ran his finger along the outside of his palm, looking for bits he missed. “I BET they’re contrite, you’re scary when you’re angry.” He raised an eyebrow at Akutagawa, who frowned. “It was an accident.”

“There are too many accidents. They know better.”

“They’re growing boys, and rambunctious.” Atsushi dug more glass from his skin. “Yelling at them won’t solve anything.” The glass pinged into the bottom of the bin. “Maybe we should enroll Acchan in a sport, or something.”

“I cannot see him containing himself to play a sport.” Akutagawa took Atsushi’s hand and inspected it himself; Atsushi knew better than to take it back. “But…it might be good for him.” He rubbed his thumb over some of the beading blood, smearing it, before raising Atsushi’s hand to his mouth and brushing his lips over the wound.

Atsushi sighed and smiled. “Sometimes I think you’re developing a taste for my blood.”

Akutagawa met his eye and licked the blood from his skin. Now Atsushi did pull his hand back, and Akutagawa rumbled in amusement. “Gross,” Atsushi muttered, inspecting his palm, but the wounds had healed over by now anyway. “Why do you have to be so gross?”

Akutagawa leaned over and kissed the top of his head. “It’s never gross when it comes from you, my darling weretiger.”

“Freak,” Atsushi snorted affectionately, and Akutagawa smirked in response.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IZUKU!! 💚

This is how I feel about adult life🫠

Ranpo, setting down a card: Queen of hearts

Dazai, pulling out an Uno card: +4

Kenji, pulling out a Pokémon card: Pikachu, I choose you!

Yosano, holding a deck of go-fish cards: go fish

Kunikida, rolling a dice and pick a card out of a monopoly deck: Get out of jail free card

Atsushi, horrified, shaking, confused: what are we playing..?
