The latest season of Bungo Stray Dogs just finished, but fans are excited because there will be more seasons to come.
The anime has had intermittent airings over the past seven years and is an adaptation of an ongoing manga series. The next season has not yet received an official announcement, leaving fans eagerly awaiting news regarding the release date and additional manga chapters.
The latest season of the popular anime Bungo Stray Dogs concluded last week with its 11th episode. However, what has really caught the attention of fans is what appeared on the screen after the final scene. Once the credits rolled, the words "To be continued" reassured everyone that there are more seasons to come.
Bungo Stray Dogs first premiered in December 2016 and has been on and off the air for the past seven years. The manga, created by Kafka Asagiri and Sango Harukawa, has been in publication since 2011 and is still ongoing. The series follows the adventures of the Armed Detective Agency, whose mission is to protect the city of Yokohama from the mafia. They accomplish this by undertaking missions assigned by the agency, with a focus on the main character, Atsushi Nakajima, and the other main characters who possess supernatural powers utilized in their work.
The latest season of Bungo Stray Dogs aired from July to September 2023 and consisted of 11 episodes. It received a high rating of 8.72 on MyAnimeList and received positive reviews overall. However, there was a mistake in the Japanese caption of the final episode, which initially read "Finished." The anime's official Twitter later clarified the error and assured fans that another season is on its way. The caption has been corrected to "To be continued."
As of now, there has been no official announcement regarding the next season of Bungo Stray Dogs. There is no premiere date, trailer, promotional art, or title available yet. Fans may have to wait for a few more anime seasons before they can continue with the story.
Season five of the anime adapted the Kamui Revelation Arc and the Vampire Infection Outbreak Arc, which correspond to the 8th and 9th arcs of the manga respectively. As a result, the anime caught up to chapter 110 of the manga, which is the latest published chapter so far.
Fans hoping to read the manga ahead of the anime's release will be disappointed to learn that only 110 chapters have been published thus far. This means that the anime has already brought the entire available story in the manga to life. As a result, fans not only have to wait for news about the next season of the anime but also for the release of the next chapters of the manga. The wait is expected to be even longer, so it is advisable to not anticipate any rapid developments, regardless of which release you are eagerly awaiting.
However, there is a positive update. As the manga for Bungo Stray Dogs is still in progress, the anime has a plethora of source material to explore. As long as the manga concludes, the anime has the potential to continue for multiple seasons, depending on its popularity and the ongoing support of its fans. With the significant viewership of the latest season, it is evident that the adoration for Bungo Stray Dogs is far from its peak, suggesting that there may be more seasons on the horizon. As of now, Bungo Stray Dogs has amassed five seasons and 61 episodes.
