About Bungo Stray Dogs (Series)
The mysterious tiger that has been plaguing Atsushi Nakajima’s orphanage for weeks is something that only he seems to be aware of. The 18-year-old is abruptly expelled from the orphanage and left hungry, homeless, and lost in the city after it is suspected that he is responsible for the bizarre happenings.
Atsushi saves the life of an eccentric man called Osamu Dazai from drowning when he is starving on a riverside. Dazai, a fan of whimsical suicide and paranormal investigator, has been looking into the same tiger that has been frightening the youngster.
