The original Bungo Stray Dogs manga is written by Kafka Asagiri and illustrated by Sango Harukawa. Bungo Stray Dogs WAN! is an official gag-manga spin-off illustrated by Neko Kanai. It has been serialised in Kadokawa’s Young Ace UP website since December 2015, and has released 15 tankōbon volumes so far. The first season of its anime adaptation came out in 2021. Crunchyroll streams the first season, and describes the story as:
Bungo Stray Dogs: an action battle epic set in the bustling, fictional city of Yokohama, where the port winds howl as "gifteds" whose powers take after the giants of literature.
Could you believe that those characters of the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia, whose battles bring them to the edge of death, would come looking so adorable and minimalistic, just to jest and jive?!
