About the Book:

Bungo Stray Dogs is a popular light novel series written by Kafka Asagiri and illustrated by Sango Harukawa, expanding the supernatural mystery world of the Bungo Stray Dogs franchise through prose storytelling. The series combines crime, mystery, supernatural abilities, action, and literary references, with characters inspired by famous authors and their works. This four-volume set brings together the first four English-language light novels published by Yen On: Osamu Dazai’s Entrance Exam, Osamu Dazai and the Dark Era, The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency, and 55 Minutes.

Across these four novels, readers explore different periods and mysteries surrounding the Armed Detective Agency and its members. Volume 1 follows Doppo Kunikida and Osamu Dazai during their first case together, while Volume 2 looks back at Dazai’s time in the Port Mafia and his relationship with Odasaku and Ango. Volume 3 goes further into the past to tell how Yukichi Fukuzawa and Ranpo Edogawa became connected and how the Armed Detective Agency was established. Volume 4, 55 Minutes, takes the characters to the floating Standard Island, where a bomb, time travel, and a mysterious ability user threaten Yokohama. Together, the four books offer a deeper look at the characters, organizations, relationships, supernatural abilities, and mysteries behind the Bungo Stray Dogs universe.
