Chapter 18 (Vertical Comic)

Chapter 18 is the eighteenth chapter of the Bungo Stray Dogs (Vertical Comic).

Summary
Atsushi wakes up in the agency's infirmary after being attacked by the mafia. Upon waking up, Atsushi questions where is and sees Kunikida sitting by his bed. Atsushi vividly remembers what happened with the attack and asks frantically about Tanizaki and Naomi. Kunikida assures Atsushi that they're fine and that Yosano is treating them in the next room. A loud scream from the other room is heard and Atsushi seems to doubt the type of "treating" Doctor Yosano is doing.

Kunikida asks about the supposed bounty on his head, and Atsushi panics and asks what they should do about it. Kunikida tells Atsushi not to worry, trying to reassure him when Atsushi informs him he is reading his notebook upside-down. Kunikida silently readjusts his notebook and explodes, showing him how he'd beat them up and yelling about how he wouldn't waver because of them. Suddenly, Atsushi blames himself, telling himself that he's put the agency in grave danger and that it's gotten Kunikida worked up. As Kunikida calms down, he tells Atsushi to think of something he can do as he is the one who put the Agency in that position. Before leaving, Kunikida asks Atsushi where his glasses are.

A silver-haired man leans against the wall, a cigarette in hand when a guard in a black suit tells him it's time. He tells the other guards to make way as he places his hand onto a door, it immediately flies off its hinges in another direction. Inside the warehouse-type room, there is a group of males working. The silver-haired man addresses the working men and smirks.
