it's normal.
there are cases of people going in the fandom through the doujinshi first but i recommend to do read the original as well because your perception of the pair (and the story) will ger deeper since doujinshikas make this wishful storyline or create an ideal scenes of the OTP but if you do not follow the original story you will miss that ^_^
Welcome to the cult.
So I recently got into this one (will start the manga too at one point or another) and, despite knowing that it's not a yaoi/shounen-ai, I've fallen for Dazai x Atsushi (Dazushi I believe is the couple name).
So is that normal or am I just being my usual, weird self? :D
