odazai zine
"REASON FOR BEING"
生き甲斐 (“Reason for being”) is a charity zine focused on the relationship between Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke from Bungo Stray Dogs!
-What’s the zine’s theme?
We intend to do a double theme, focused on two different scenarios:
1. A better world in which Dazai and Oda leave the Mafia and are happy together.
2. The BEAST AU.-Is the zine for charity or for profit?
For charity!-What will the zine include?
We will sell a digital version of the zine, as well as a physical one and merch bundles!-What kind of content will this project feature?
The zine, as well as the merch, will be a SFW, canon divergent project focused on the relationship between the Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke. Most of the content will be romantically inclined and may feature both fluff and angst.-Will there be any NSFW content?
Though some parts might end up being suggestive at best, we intend to keep the whole project SFW, meaning no explicit content will be involved.-How will contributors be compensated?
Due to the intended small scale and nature of our project, we aim to compensate all contributors with a free PDF version of the zine and the option of purchasing any bundle (physical zine + merch) for production price. Should the budget allow us after the pre-order period ends, we will compensate all contributors with a free physical bundle.-Will the zine be shipped internationally?
Yes! We will provide worldwide shipping for every physical bundle to all countries that don’t restrict international shipping.-Will the zine’s works be in english?
Yes. All of it will be in english.

Ever since reading “Oda Sakunosuke understood him much more than he’d ever imagined”, I had no way back, so what better way to deal with Odazai feelings than hosting a zine with my friends? Hope you will enjoy!

They drank at this bar and spent time together talking about the most ridiculous things and I love them for it. I also have perfectly normal feelings about tofu and trains.
