Volumes[]
Bungo Stray Dogs[]
| Volume 1 | |
| Winter is cold and I can't go out. Kotatsu is the greatest invention in history! When I told my friend that I'm glad I was born in Japan where kotatsu was invented, he told me that in Iran there's something similar called korsi. ... Good job, Iran. | |
| This is my first manga publication and my first tankōbon. I'm really thankful. The reason why the story is set in a fictional Yokohama is because I was born there. If I were born in Kansai, maybe all the characters would speak in the Kansai dialect. | |
| Volume 2 | |
| When summer comes and I'll put away my kotatsu, where should I work? (watery eyes) | |
| Last time, it didn't feel like Yokohama at all because I used places near my house as reference, so this time I went to famous places in Yokohama to reflect upon my mistakes. I hope this will be delivered in the story. | |
| Volume 3 | |
| As I'm writing this, it's October, everyone is still wearing short sleeves and coffee shops have the air conditioning on during meals, but I can't stand it anymore. I will take it out. My kotatsu. | |
| It's interesting to see that Yokohama Station appears as a result when you search for "Sagrada Família". | |
| Volume 4 | |
| While going to the bathroom, like a divine revelation, I come up with an adjective, "dazai". God of the toilets, I don't need useless ideas like this one, so please give me ideas I can use for the story instead. What will "dazai" even mean? | |
| I think everyone has fallen asleep while working and dreamt about strange things, but this month I woke up to the sound of my own voice saying to a character that he should tell me himself if there's something weird in the way I drew him. | |
| Volume 5 | |
| The shock of being told that I'm like the green peas on shumai is something that won't disappear even after 10 years. | |
| Since it's this kind of manga, I often draw what are called background corpses, but everytime I draw them I think that those people also have families and I wonder if they'll have a funeral. | |
| Volume 6 | |
| When I'm drowsy, I sometimes come up with great story ideas, but I usually just sleep and forget them. | |
| I want the ability to sleep for only 30 minutes and recover the physical strength of 8 hours of sleep. | |
| Volume 7 | |
| The idea of putting fruit into rice is great, but I have been given rice with strawberries for lunch when I was at school and the strawberries were all wrinkled. | |
| I was seriously worried about having to rent a helicopter to get information about how Yokohama looks like from above, but there's actually a wonderful tourist spot in Yokohama called Landmark Tower where you can overlook the scenery. It's a good place. | |
| Volume 8 | |
| An anime adaptation was announced! I will also appear at every meeting. Thank you. | |
| If I don't say it, you won't be able to notice it, so I'm going to tell you that Akutagawa-san is included in the color spread page at the beginning. If I drew him clearly, it wouldn't have fit with this time's theme, so I hid him. Please look for him. | |
| Volume 9 | |
| I wrote a spin-off novel with an awesome title called "Bungo Stray Dogs Gaiden: Ayatsuji Yukito VS. Kyōgoku Natsuhiko". That character also appears. | |
| I am often asked by Yokohama citizens where places are, so I have to tell them that the Yokohama in the story isn't the one situated in Kanagawa prefecture. | |
| Volume 10 | |
| After adding shichimi togarashi to the oyakodon and eating it, I unconsciously rubbed my eyes with the hand I touched shichimi with and the world caught fire. | |
| Since I myself have terrible handwriting, I always ask a friend with beautiful handwriting to write Kunikida-san's handwriting, but every time he writes about 10 patterns and sends them to me. I guess he's just as serious. | |
| Volume 11 | |
| Recently, when thinking about the story, the dialogues have come to be automatically played by the voices of the anime's voice actors. Such happiness is not something that I have. | |
| If I had Alcott-san's ability, would I be able to finish frame layouts in 10 seconds? I really want it. | |
| Volume 12 | |
| There's a cat that screams outside my house, but it does that for too long and every time I worry if it's able to breathe properly. It was silent when I screamed back for the same amount of time. I'm kind of feeling sorry. | |
| I was told the other day that whatever I write here never has any correlation with the work itself, but I think that you would be surprised if there was a big spoiler here. | |
| Volume 13 | |
| I've received a sample of the goods, so I always go out with a pen case from the goods, a document folder from the goods, a glasses case from the goods, a smartphone cover from the goods, and a T-shirt from the goods. When people see me on the train or in a coffee shop, they must think I'm a big fan. | |
| When I went to take pictures at the Marine Tower, I was doing a stamp rally for Bungo Stray Dogs, but a girl about 5 or 6 years old had a stamp of Chūya-san on her paper and she was really cute. | |
| Volume 14 | |
| I kept on looking for goods to keep my headphones on the desk smartly, and I finally found a banana holder. | |
| This time I drew the color of the cover art with the idea that the three went into Poe-san's book and played a game of guessing who was the criminal in the picture. I wonder if such an opportunity will come to them in the future. | |
| Volume 15 | |
| I was involved in the production of the movie "DEAD APPLE" and it was a wonderful experience, which is something that happens only once in a lifetime. Thank you very much, everyone. | |
| Actually, Mushitaro-san's character design is almost the same as the one Asagiri-san drew when first explaining what kind of feeling he had in mind for this character. He is the only one amongst all the Bungo Stray Dogs characters. | |
| Volume 16 | |
| Since I was born in the Shikoku region, I have always felt hatred towards people who can't name the four prefectures of Shikoku, but when I arrived in Takamatsu for a friend's wedding and confused it with Kochi, I felt I had lost that right. | |
| When I read mangas, I'm always pretty excited to read the comments authors write in this section, but when it comes to writing them myself, I'm always worried about ruining the afterglow of the manga. | |
| Volume 17 | |
| I have helped with writing the script for the third season of the anime! This season will also be amazing! | |
| Tachihara-kun's true identity was known from the beginning, but I was surprised because I thought it would be something that could be understood in the middle like Gin-chan being Akutagawa-san's sister. | |
| Volume 18 | |
| When I was at the sashimi rice shop, the clerk suddenly shouted "Well, we have a problem" and while I was throbbing and waiting for the problem to be solved, a big salmon arrived. Volume 18 begins. | |
| The profile image I have here and those I have elsewhere are mostly of curry, but that's because curry has been my favorite food for a long time since I was a child, so it doesn't have a deep meaning. | |
| Volume 19 | |
| I didn't know how to read the kanji for Sōsa, in Chiba prefecture, so I searched it on the internet as "Something City in Chiba prefecture" and the correct way of reading it came out. Everyone... I can't read... I felt like I became one with the world. | |
| This time, the cover image is a simple group picture after a long time, since I was told to create a cover where you can't understand who will play an active role in order to prevent spoilers. However, when I read the manga, I felt like I didn't see the cover that much. | |
| Volume 20 | |
| I had a chance to see the stage performance of "Bungo Stray Dogs: Hashigaki". In the midst of the corona scare, I was moved by the performance that tried to express the world of Stray Dogs while taking all possible measures to prevent infection. I'll try my best to supervise the next performance, "DEAD APPLE"!. | |
| The other day, I had my wisdom teeth removed for the first time in my life, and I was amazed at how amazing medical treatment is. The picture I painted right after I came back from the extraction is the cover of this issue. It's a picture that shows my bloodthirsty feelings. | |
| Volume 21 | |
| Volume 22 | |
Bungo Stray Dogs BEAST[]
| Volume 1 | |
| I've always wanted to draw this kind of work, and I've been reading it for a long time. You never know what will happen when you live life to the fullest. | |
| Volume 2 | |
| Thanks to your support, I was able to release the second volume! I'd like to thank Asagiri-sensei, Harukawa-sensei, the editorial staff, the staff who supported the drawings, my parents and all the people who have supported and pushed me this far. I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who support this manga. I'd be happy if I could be the one to fill in the gaps in your lives. | |
