Asagiri Kaftka and Harukawa Sango started the original Bungo Stray Dogs manga in December 2012 in Kadokawa’s Young Ace magazine, and Kadokawa published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in April 2013 and the 28th volume in March 2026.
Yen Press releases the manga in English under the name Bungo Stray Dogs, and it will release the manga’s 27th volume on July 28th, 2026. It describes the manga story below:
“Having been kicked out of the orphanage, a despairing young man by the name of Atsushi Nakajima rescues a strange man from a suicide attempt–Osamu Dazai. Turns out that Dazai is part of a detective agency staffed by individuals whose supernatural powers take on a literary bent!”
