The chase scene when Odasaku goes for the orphans.

Odasaku’s inner thoughts when the Buraiha trio break up are also well worth a read.Dazai proposes to arrange Gide and Odasaku’s wedding.At one point, Akutagawa had Gide tied up.Ango commenting that Dazai and Oda stink of rotten tsukudani.Odasaku’s vacuum cleaner passage about Dazai.In comparison, he’s a lot more vocal about asking Dazai to stop talking after having his hand forced. The shooter was around three meters away from Dazai, compared to the anime which was near point blank (even I could have shot Dazai at that distance without training, please.) Also, Odasaku’s thoughts about Dazai’s expression.Dazai making an order for coffee and his highly sweet tooth.Oda’s extremely detailed breakfast routine.

Dazai’s cooking and his miraculous soups.Here’s just a few of the many scenes you’d have missed out on if you only watch the anime: Dazai Osamu and the Dark Era - Light Novel vs Anime DiscrepanciesĪs enjoyable as the anime adaptation may be, I urge everyone to read the light novel itself!! The anime glossed over many, many important scenes which are plenty enjoyable, but one thing I feel the novel captures a lot better are Oda’s thoughts, which definitely help you understand his (slightly odd) way of thinking.
