Wan! Chapter 24

Brother's Melancholy (兄様の憂鬱,) is the 24th chapter of the Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! manga.

Summary
While having his meal, Tanizaki spills some hayashi rice on his shirt, making him anxiously think that Naomi will wipe it off for him. To his surprise, Naomi calls out his spillage and asks him to wipe it off with some dish cloth himself.

At the office, Tanizaki informs Atsushi and Kunikida his concern. Atsushi tells him that she may perhaps be at the age of growing detached from him, but Tanizaki berates and dismisses his idea. He cites Naomi's recent strange habits and worries that she now probably hates him. Her absence in the office further fuels his suspicions and thinks that she is being controlled by an enemy ability. He then decides to track her down with her scent.

As he arrives at a building, he rushes in to Naomi's location. He eventually finds her along with the other female employees, only to discover they are undergoing physical examinations, leading him to be called a pervert.

Back at the office, Atsushi deduces that Naomi was watching her weight before the physical exam, which explains why she was not touching her meals and kept refusing desserts. With the police almost taking him in, Tanizaki is relieved about the truth of the matter, with Kunikida and Atsushi wrapping up the mystery that has now been solved.
