Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! Season 2 Coming in July: The Beloved Spin-off Returns!

The long-awaited good news for Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! fans has finally arrived. According to the announcement made by the series' official channels, the second season of the beloved spin-off anime series will begin airing in July. Along with the new season announcement, a colorful key visual featuring the chibi versions of the characters was shared, heightening the excitement of the viewers.

The original voice cast for iconic characters such as Atsushi Nakajima, Osamu Dazai, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa will be retained for the new season. However, it has been confirmed that new faces introduced in later parts of the original series will also join the story this time. The spin-off manga, written by Kafka Asagiri and illustrated by Kanaineko, moves away from the dark and action-packed atmosphere of the main series and focuses on the absurd and funny moments in the characters' daily lives.

Bungo Stray Dogs Wan!, which aired its first season in 2021, gained great popularity among fans with its short-episode format. The main series, Bungo Stray Dogs, has become a global phenomenon since it began in Young Ace magazine in 2012 and has completed five successful seasons. This spin-off, prepared in collaboration between Studio BONES and Nomad, serves as a perfect break, especially for viewers tired of the heavy dramatic tone of the main story.

This new season has a strategic timing to fill the gap following the fifth season of the main series. Fans are looking forward to seeing the unusual interactions between members of the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency, as well as the cute versions of the characters. With the premiere in July, a fun summer season seems to be on the horizon for both old and new followers of the series.
