REVIEW: Bungo Stray Dogs GN 1

Perhaps the biggest issue with the book is the translation, or rather, the adaptation. Both Dazai and fellow Agency member Doppo Kunikida speak in what reads as very stilted language. It's clearly meant to sound formal, with a lack of contractions and some old-fashioned word choices, probably stemming from the fact that both men wrote in either the late nineteenth century or the early-to-mid twentieth.
