Summary
For 1st year med student Dazai Osamu, excellence isn’t a goal — it’s a requirement for being allowed to exist. Raised by his father Mori, Dazai has learned that anything below 100% is failure, freetime is indulgence, and parental affection is something one has to earn. Trying to uphold these impossible standards, he gets confronted with how coping mechanisms meant to maintain control can lead to losing it.
Enter Chuuya Nakahara: sports science major, easygoing, backed by a supportive family, and the last person Dazai wants as a roommate. As their contrasting worlds collide and the pressure on Dazai keeps building he is forced to ask himself: is the price of excellence really worth it?
At 15 he brought back a 97 on a test.
"What did you miss?" was all Mori asked.
"One question,"
"And why did you miss it?"
"I misunderstood—"
"You didn't prepare properly," Mori cut him off. "Careless. Do you want to be a doctor responsible for patients dying because of such mistakes?"
"No, sir."
"Then do better."That night, Dazai stayed up late, re-reading his textbook until the words blurred together, fueled by fear of what would happen if he made another mistake.

Ranpo is the one who tells Dazai about the deal Fukuzawa made—the promise that one of the detectives would join the Mafia if they support them in the fight. Dazai doesn’t react. They both know what that means.

Summary
Their beds are separated by one cardboard wall, a lock, and a whim. Dazai is more than okay with that.

Summary
He’s sat on the floor, slumped over a still unpacked box, face like thunder, when the door swings open. A flash of orange greets him in his peripheral, and for a second he does a cartoon-style double take. Is that a girl? It can’t be a girl. Surely they don’t have mixed gender student accommodation at Todai. It doesn’t seem that progressive here.
“Hey.” The person says, and Dazai realises they are addressing him. Because he’s the only one in the room. “You must be Dazai, I’m Nakahara Chuuya. But please, for the love of God, just call me Chuuya.”
Definitely not a girl.
///OR: Dazai is being forced to attend university by his wealthy and powerful parents. And he’s straight. But his new roommate is proving to be… difficult. Not because he’s pretty. No, he’s just annoying. Did he mention he was straight????
