Bungo Stray Dogs Beast

In this compact alternate-reality spin on the Bungo Stray Dogs universe, published by Egmont Ehapa from 2023 onward, the familiar cast of gifted detectives and criminals is reimagined in a world where the fates of characters like Atsushi and Akutagawa are starkly reversed. Spanning just four issues, the series distills the core conflict of the original manga into a tense, standalone thriller. Written by the series' original creator, Kafka Asagiri, and illustrated by Shirow Miwa, Beast offers longtime fans a fresh, high-stakes take on the beloved characters' dynamics.
