Wan! Chapter 49

Messy Shadow Warrior Strategy Meeting (影武者むしゃむしゃ作戦会議,) is the 49th chapter of the Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! manga.

Summary
Chūya announces that the Port Mafia needs a body double, much to everyone's confusion. Higuchi starts eating snacks from the snack bowl in the middle of the table, causing Chūya to scold her. He explains that Mori has made a business deal, and for his safety, he should have a body double. Higuchi asks why Chūya was not chosen, but Chūya awkwardly coughs, trying to subtly remind her that he is not the same height as Mori is.

Mori and Elise come to watch and judge the different body doubles. First up is Tachihara, but his charisma is rather lacking. Next is Higuchi, who also does not give off the same atmosphere. After hearing everyone's criticism, Higuchi does an impression of the boss. Her wig falls off as she shakes back and forth and imitates the boss begging Elise to try on a new dress. Elise is quite entertained, but Mori scolds Tachihara and Chūya.

Akutagawa and Gin have a nice, suave demeanor, and everyone looks at them in admiration. Mori approves, commenting that they have the same air that he gave off in his younger years. Chūya starts nit-picking while Tachihara and Higuchi compliment them.

Hirotsu steps into the room after changing and sees that everyone is excited over Akutagawa and Gin's dress-up. He expresses his disappointment because he had gone through the effort to change his clothes, but everyone is amazed at his sophisticated personality. Mori approves, but Elise is the happiest to see Hirotsu dressed up like this and runs up to him. Dismayed, Mori runs out of the room, screaming that he does not need a body double anymore.
