Hunter x Hunter: Fang of Rashōmon
Ryu dies in front of his screen like the cliché he never thought he’d actually become, and wakes up as a seven-year-old orphan in a world he knows far too well: Hunter x Hunter. Weak body, no money, no family, and way too much meta knowledge about a universe where kids get killed in exam halls. Hunters, Jenny, the Association emblem on a peeling poster – the hints add up fast, and so does the danger.
Trying to stay one step above “background casualty,” Ryu hides his obsession behind a quiet façade, using chores, city streets and chance encounters to slowly dig into what this world is really like when it isn’t framed by an opening song. Exploration comes first, survival comes second, and power… somewhere after that. Maybe.
Disclaimer:
I do not own Hunter x Hunter or Bungou Stray Dogs. All rights to the world, characters and concepts belong to their original creators. I just started watching Bungou Stray Dogs, became obsessed with Akutagawa, and thought his ability would be fun to explore as a Nen concept in the HxH universe. This is a non-profit fan work, and the only thing I own is my OC. Please don’t sue me.
English isn’t my first language. honestly, it’s not even my second — so I’m using AI to keep my story from sounding like it was written by a toddler armed with a dictionary.
