Description
Doppo Kunikida is an idealist and a straitlaced detective at the Armed Detective Agency, an organization that takes on dangerous jobs even the police won't handle. Everything in his life is going just as he's planned...until one day, he's paired up with the agency's newest hire: a suspicious, eccentric, suicide-obsessed man named Osamu Dazai. Their first case together turns out to be far more complicated than Kunikida anticipated—and it looks like the detective agency's sworn enemy, the show more Port Mafia, is somehow involved, too!Set two years before the events of the manga series, this is the tale of how two seemingly incompatible personalities end up forming the partnership that has made them one of Yokohama's top detective duos! show lessTags

The writing is pretty good for a Light Novel. I was just expecting a new story and it turns out this is the source for the Anime episodes on the Azure bomber.
The Anime changed the timeline to fit in Atsushi but this actually takes place 2 years before Atsushi met Dazai.
It's still a very interesting story with many twists and turns. It's also the start of Dazai and Kunikida's partnership.

Mentions of the Guild AND Akutagawa?? Yes. I love!
3.75/5
You know, what's sexy? It's Dazai's brain.
