About Bungo Stray Dogs
Stalked by a beastly white tiger, Atsushi Nakajima has no idea that the menace lives inside him—a power that catches the attention of the Armed Detective Agency. Using inhuman abilities to combat crime, this team takes Atsushi under the wing of their most eccentric member, Dazai. Together, they tear through mafia-muddled mysteries while enemies keep an eye on the tiger’s lofty bounty.

Notes for nerds
Episode numbers are franchise-continuous, as Crunchyroll and the official count use them: the OVA is episode 25, Season 3 starts at 26, Season 4 at 38 and Season 5 at 51. Per-episode chapters come from the BSD Fandom wiki episode pages, which agree with that wiki's chapter pages. The MyAnimeList watch guide independently matches Season 1, Season 2 and the start of Season 3 (ep 29 = ch 42, OVA = ch 40). One minor aggregator (animeoshi) lists ep 49 as chapters 75-76, which conflicts with Fandom (71-74); the Fandom data was kept. Light-novel episodes (6-7, 13-16, 26-28, 38-40) and the anime-original Dead Apple film have no manga chapters and are marked filler: true, even though they are canon side stories. Half chapters (83.5, 102.5, 105.5) follow the official Japanese/Yen Press numbering. Season 5's finale was largely written ahead of the manga. Dead Apple has covers: null because it adapts no chapters. Bungo Stray Dogs WAN! (2021 and 2026, chibi spin-off) is excluded. No sixth main season had aired by 2026-10-10. sourceTotal is null because the latest chapter on 2026-10-10 was not verified.
