Yes, it did help, thank you! 
It filled the holes.
And yep, whole BSD radio is awesome and wholesome and Atsushi’s seiyuu is lovely as a host. The problem is, the thing is also licensed and has an official release 
Amazon link
(first volume of the three total, as far as I can see)
So I’m not sure its YT translation can be linked on Wanikani, because while it is veeeery spin-offy&for-advertising-purposes, it is still piracy? I think? I don’t want to be a joy-killer, but.

I think it falls under fair use. Like how there can be clips of shows o Youtube 
Maybe that just shows how ignorant I am of the law tho… 
But I don’t want to risk it, so I’ll take it down, thanks for the heads up, and also Imma check that link out

One clip is probably fair use as a quote, but the clip leads to the whole channel and that’s why I was concerned. 
But I’m also not 100% sure if it counts, so I’m sorry if I’m overreacting.

No you’re not overreacting! Honestly I appreciate the warning because I am very ignorant in stuff like that, I’d rather be cautious just in case.

This week chapter seemed so short
Chapt 13
I knew this is how it was gonna end. The misunderstanding I mean. The cow was pretty cute.
Chapt 14
If people wondered why I always think Dazai is behind everything here is the proof I am right. Everything is part of dazai’s 計画.
note: 計画 means plan.
Chapt 15
This one was sooo cute. I loved it. I second Atuchi these were not children’s books I’m surpise Dazai was the teacher I would have assumed him more as a child. I’m was also surprised Yoshina-sensei was that proper with children. I was expecting more blood.

I just want to say that I think your gifs are extremely cute, don’t stop!
Hmmm. They seem to be a standard length. And I have a lot of questions this week anyway. So much that I decided to divide it between comments and questions.
Comments (&replies to icefang)
Chapter 13
It is a classic translator’s nightmare, though. 
And there was a kanji-and-rare-words-fest once again.
Dazai so cute here.
Chapter 14
Well, Light Yagami and Dazai are both voiced by Mamoru Miyano…
Also Chuuya so kind hereeee~ so good~ so nice~
That’s me during this chapter:
…I have a weakness for Chuuya. As it might be observed.
I’m really bad with poetry, though, so I can’t appreciate real-life Chuuya’s poems, I’m afraid. I even tried, but nope. I was like “ummm, I guess it this one is about sadness? I think?”
Chapter 15
They could do it so Yosano-sensei would read them the bloody version of these fairy-tales. I’m a little disappointed they didn’t use this.
And ahhh Akutagawa is so loyal at the end.
Also, a kani!
Questions
Chapter 14
#1 What’s this ~けりゃ suffix? My best guess is 蹴る.
#2 It’s the scene when the “grandma” says Chuuya’s her grandchildren’s age. I don’t understand the grammar the grandma uses here. Is it just “it would be good if I had any grandchildren, though”?
#3 I don’t understand the part I marked red.
#4 Same problem as above. How does 捨てる fits here, is it an idiom?
Chapter 15
#5 Does Kyouka say here that she cannot use scissors for assassination?
#6 I don’t understand what’s happening here. Did 夜叉白雪 just also wanted to play? Or did she didn’t like something here?
#7 I want to confirm my translation - so, Chuuya is generally calling Atsushi a crybaby and he gives him an advice to talk back to people instead of crying?

Wan! Animation Update
source is here: https://mobile.twitter.com/bungosd_anime
Important information:
- release date is January, 2021
- there was an adorable art
So it’s sooner than I’ve expected. Too bad we don’t know how many volumes they are planning to cover.

Yay, what a good start to my day
My anime to watch list for January 2021 just keeps getting better and better and better…it’s almost too good to be true.
The art work is adorable…I can’t wait 
Hmm if it’s 12 episodes per season maybe a couple of volumes? I’d imagine given how short each individual story is that an episode could consist of maybe 3 stories?

(First: awww to the bed gif, even “来た” fits 
.)
It would be a nice pace, because that way there’s no risk of them outrunning us.
But main manga was doing ~4 volumes/1 season, so it would be equivalent of around 6-7 Wan! chapters in one episode. That feels like it would be very dense, I admit.
There is also an option they would go with some irregular format, like Hetalia, which was 5-minutes episodes.
I guess it’s impossible to guess, but I just don’t want them to use too much material, so I won’t have a dilemma between waiting, watching anime first or rushing with manga.

Sorry for the wait I will try to help you but you made me realize how many things I skip when I read as long as I get the overall meaning.
"Answer to Aislin
1- What’s this ~けりゃ suffix? My best guess is 蹴る.
けりゃ is the informal version of ければ
so it is : “You said you want my help so of you want it shut up while walking.”
some links: here
or here
2- It’s the scene when the “grandma” says Chuuya’s her grandchildren’s age. I don’t understand the grammar the grandma uses here. Is it just “it would be good if I had any grandchildren, though”?
you are right. 居る means to exist. たら is a if and良かった is the past of good.The joke here is probably that she says he makes her think of her grandson(a kid probably) then had if she had one. She calld him a child and we know how Chuuya likes that.(knowing it is dazai make it fun because he know how to make Chuuya angry)
3- I don’t understand the part I marked red.
揶揄う(to make fun of)
って= informal of to say
くるう= to come
だろう= right?probably
“if he knows that, many years of ridiculizing is coming.”
In short if Dazai know of this he will ridiculize him
4- Same problem as above. How does 捨てる fits here, is it an idiom?
I think it’s just the verb to throw away.
“Even my disguising technique hasn’t been thrown away right?”
“He even changes his bone structure right?”
I haven’t found any other meaning for 捨てた
5- Does Kyouka say here that she cannot use scissors for assassination?
“You can’t use scissors as a murder tool.”
Probably a joke because she is a murderer. But it’s common sense for Atushi.
You had it right
6- I don’t understand what’s happening here. Did 夜叉白雪 just also wanted to play? Or did she didn’t like something here?
In the other panel before you can see that Atsushi does not recognize what she made. She just got embarrassed at her cutting skill and destroy it all to prevent further humiliation. She his hiding her face will be destroying it.
7- I want to confirm my translation - so, Chuuya is generally calling Atsushi a crybaby and he gives him an advice to talk back to people instead of crying?
Yes
I hope that helped you. I had to search for some of them. I understand some better now thx to it. Sorry for the delay I forgot to answer yesterday.

I often skip many things in other books/manga too, but I want to have one thing I do as intensive reading and I’ve chosen Wan! for that. 
Edit: And you don’t have to hurry, just answer whenever you have time!
Thank youuu!

Answer to answer
Haha, so Kyouka paper animals were supposed to be bad 
I thought they were just cute, I was so sure of it, I didn’t even realize she was correcting him about the species (Yes, it seems clear when I’m looking at the panels now, I must have been tired.)

It would be a nice pace but like you say the main manga was doing more per season, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
That pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter as well, and I have very little willpower to resist an anime with such cute visuals.
Haha what can I say…
(I love the Dazai gif, he looks so adorable, it also shows how good the shows animation was)

I’m the first to comment? that is new well…
FIRST!!!
We had 4 chapters this week but it was an easy read for me because it’s such a funny manga.
Chap 16
Dazai is impressive as always. These stickers fit perfectly over the eye. I found that one funny.
I really love that expression.
Chap 17
This one was so cute. Yes, Dazai is right, Atsushi is a cat, fight me.
Chap 18
We don’t see the guild often so it was nice to see. I did not remember everyone there on the go but was able to remember after careful observation. I found the zimbabwe money part funny not gonna lie.
Chap 19
I love Kenji so that chapt was fun. Kenji is such a nice character. Then they fight to see who has the most gentle personality.
