Yen Press has licensed and is publishing the manga in English. Crunchyroll is streaming the first season and describes the series 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?!”
