Atsushi Nakajima is an orphan who just got kicked out of his
abusive orphanage and is being chased by a tiger that tormented his orphanage.
Starving to death beside a river in Yokohama he saves Osamu Dazai from drowning
as a reward Dazai and his partner Doppo Kunikida take him out to eat where they
reveal that they are apart of Yokohama's armed detective agency full of ability
users and they are looking for the same tiger that tormented atsushi's
orphanage. Dazai decides to use atsushi as bait but it is then revealed that
atsushi is an ability user and he's the tiger. Since he's an ability user he is
taken in by the armed detective agency and solves all kinds of cases and goes
up against tough opponents while trying to maintain some form of a normal life.
Bungo Stray Dogs is one of my all time favorites. It can
make me go though a rollercoaster of emotions in a few pages. Each character is
complex and well written, mostly everyone is this story is morally grey and
have reason for what they do so you can't hate anyone. I also really enjoy the
art style for the anime and the manga. I could never get tired of analyzing
Bungo the relationships and the parallels between each organization really makes
you question right and wrong. It's also really funny and great if you want
action but some laughs too. If you enjoyed things like My Hero Academia you'd definitely
love Bungo Stray Dogs.
