>show full of cute boys
>everyone's straight
This one is cursed.
>>3023440
Why is there never a show full of cute boys doing cute gay things?
>>3023495
There is always hope.
>>3023440
>>3023738
If only there was a cute treasure trail that picture would be perfect.
Akutagawa is the best boy.
>>3023444
Dude did you even SEE the ED?
>>3026333
Irrelevant, read the source material. This entire show is a wasteland for homos. Even Akutagawa's obsession with Dazai is Daddy Issues.
I come bearing trash.

You lot need to read the manga. There's so much ship potential.

I want to believe......

Yeah, it's a case of wasted designs if you ask me. They should have made at least two of the many characters gay or hint it. As far as I know nobody but MC ever gets an actual girlfriend so there is no point making all of them blatantly hetero when they won't find a anyone anyway - especially since this show was a sausage fest from the very beginning.

>Akutagawa's obsession with Dazai is Daddy Issues.
It could look like unrequited love if you're into that kind of thing. I'm not really into yanhomo, so I'll pass.
>>3028727
>coughdazai/chuyacough
Don't see anything homo about them. It's not even good with googles as Dazai left the mafia without giving a single fuck about Chuuya
>>3032811
I know right. It can't be helped if Atsushi gets a girl since the manga isn't BL and he's the MC but the other guys don't get anyone so it's a waste to make them so obviously canon het.
Whom do fujos usually pair Ranpo up with? He doesn't have that much fanart compared to the rest and he's mostly shown alone.
He doesn't seem as openly het as the rest. Although he's probably just autistic or something.
>>3033004
Blondie probably.

With Fukuzawa I believe

The Buraiha trio needs more love.
Posting best boys, just so I can save the lives of those unfortunate enough to have not yet realized what is god-tier taste in pairings.

I'd like the white/black combination but no chance.
Maybe there will be some actual homo teasing between some of the male characters that got introduced later but I doubt even that.
>>3034568
I don't mind if there's no hinting of homosexual relationships, I can pull sufficient material out of the most barren of holes.

Tried it too but I got lazy after 30 pages or so, this shit has tons of fanart.
Most of these pics look pretty great and atmospheric though. Sometimes I wish fans would take care of the writing for a series.
>>3034998
Yeah, I didn't realize the manga alone had been so ridiculously popular- there were roughly 395 pages (I seriously wan't expecting that much), but I'm currently sick, so I have some free time.

It's Dazai's birthday.
Just finished chapter 33, and honestly this show/manga is about as barren for hets as it is for homos.
I think John Steinbeck and H.P. Lovecraft might have a little chemistry (now that's something I'd get weird looks for saying in public), but maybe the possibility for tentacles is making me biased.
>>3036864
Not having the balls to finish a thought or to make a pairing canon is a typical anime/manga problem. I never really understood the reason why they refuse to clarify things. I even doubt it will happen with Atsushi and Kyouka, they'll probably just stay friends till the end and people who like it can interpret is as romantical relationship and that's it.
For entirely separate reasons, I'm really hoping they don't try to pull anything with Atsushi/Kyouka. The Atsushi is 18 and she's 14 thing is a little yikes for me. Episode 11 had me totally prepared to ship Keiji with Atsushi, but it turns out that he's 14 too. It's so hard to find two charcters in this show who are roughly the same age, and also have chemistry.
>>3036864
Well as far as I know he isn't as blatantly hetero as most of the other characters till now so pretending that there is some gay chemistry between him and Steinbeck wouldn't be as contradictory as it was for the protags.
Haven't reached that part in the manga yet, but I love (the real) HPL, and his design in BSD is pretty nice as well. Looking forward seeing him animated in the next cour, especially because the anime improves their designs and he needs more fanart anyway.
>>3037228
What makes a character "blatantly hetero"? I've never really heard the term explained before. Is it ship-teasing with female characters? Or a lack of potential chemistry with males? Or is it just down to the vibes they give off?
>>3037283
Well some of the characters in this show openly stated that they're interested in women. Like Dazai with his search for a cute female suicide partner or Kunikida in one of the first few episodes. And the pairings Atsushi/Kyouka or Akutagawa/blondie are hinted as well. Maybe it's just loyality and friendship, but people could interpret romance if they wanted.
I guess one of the problems is that this show has too many characters and most of them get almost no screentime or interaction with other relevant guys because of that.
Thou shalt not die!
>>3037321
People usually assume everyone else is hetero by default since it's a statistical norm. Imo, the reason why they crack jokes about liking girls in shonen and seinen is that it gives you the atmosphere of an average conversation. These genres are not romance-focused, that's why they often leave the possibilities open. It's doubtful that anyone at all will get a significant romance in BSD because it would distract from the action and the main plot. Some shonen might create canon hetero ships to lure in the shoujou demographic too, but I'm talking about stuff like Naruto here and BSD will never be able to whore out that much. For the same reason - because it's not a show you can sell like 20-season animes - they won't make the mistake of critically narrowing down the viewership by turning it into shonen ai. Tbh, I'm thankful enough for the considerable amount of queerbaiting.
tl:dr: If it gay, it don't pay
