Bungo Stray Dogs (Original Japanese Version)

Driven out of his orphanage, Nakajima Atsushi wanders the streets of Yokohama on the brink of starvation. Determined to live, a chance encounter with a drowning stranger changes his fate.

Despite joining the Armed Detective Agency, Nakajima lacks conviction that he'll be of any use. Just as he's about to bid the agency farewell, a bomber takes over the agency with one of the agency employees as his hostage!

After passing the entrance exam and becoming an official member of the Agency, Atsushi is assigned to his first case with Tanizaki and Naomi. Though deceptively simple on the surface, there's more to the case than meets the eye.

Though saved from the Port Mafia by Dazai's intervention, Atsushi feels responsible for bringing trouble to the Agency's door. Rather than risk another attack because of him, Atsushi decides to leave the Agency.

After repelling the Port Mafia's Black Lizards with deceptive ease, Atsushi is tasked with assisting Rampo on a case. Skeptical of the self-dubbed great detective who seems to lack all common sense, Atsushi is about to witness Rampo's ability first-hand.

The Agency investigates a series of disappearances in Yokohama. Kunikida enlists the help of a hacker named Taguchi Rokuzou, but all they find are photos of the victims and mentions of a mysterious figure called the Azure Messenger.

Following the Azure Messenger's bomb threat, the Armed Detective Agency must race to prevent the deaths of hundreds. However, Dazai's seemingly distracted by Sasaki Nobuko, the lone survivor of their raid on the abandoned hospital.

Dazai goes missing, but the Agency operatives feel it's just business as usual. Meanwhile, Atsushi accompanies Yosano Akiko on a shopping expedition, where they are suddenly plunged into the middle of a terrorist bomb threat!

Kyouka was made into an assassin by those who abused her ability, and Atsushi can't help but feel sympathy toward her. Unable to turn her in to the military police, Atsushi ends up taking her out on a date.

Dazai has a face-off with his ex-partner, Chuuya, as Chuuya attempts to discover why Dazai let himself get captured. Meanwhile, Atsuhi faces Akutagawa's intense and inexplicable hatred for him.

In the aftermath of Atsushi and Dazai's abduction, the Agency must decide what to do with Kyouka. Meanwhile, the Port Mafia also deliberates what to do with Akutagawa, now comatose, as his enemies seek vengeance.

Francis, the leader of The Guild, a North American organization of gifted members, is the one responsible for the bounty on Atsushi's head. Fukuzawa refuses Francis's offer to buy out the Agency, but then the agents begin to disappear!
