Set in the fictional city of 'Yokohama,' welcome to the **'wan!'-derful everyday** of stray dogs (the literary figures) who bark, bite and dash around!
Its biggest appeal is that Atsushi Nakajima, Osamu Dazai and the others — who fight seriously in the main story — unfold loose, lively gags in cute SD form.
Another side of the 'Bungo' world, one to laugh at and be warmed by, different from the serious main story, returns in Season 2. Airing from July 2026.
