Gakuen Bungo Stray Dogs (學園文豪ストレイドッグス) is an upcoming mobile game adaptation of the popular anime and manga series Bungo Stray Dogs, developed by NextNinja. Unlike the original’s gritty supernatural battles, this title reimagines the cast in a high school setting, blending slice-of-life charm with mysterious undertones.
Players follow Atsushi Nakajima and his classmates at the fictional Sakurashin Academy, where everyday school life takes a surreal turn after a forbidden encounter in an abandoned school building leads them into an alternate world known as “I-kai.” Familiar characters like Dazai Osamu, Doppo Kunikida, and Oda Sakunosuke return as students and teachers, offering fans a fresh “what-if” scenario filled with humor, drama, and intrigue.
Currently, Gakuen Bungo Stray Dogs is in its pre-registration phase, with promotional campaigns and exclusive in-game rewards being offered to early sign-ups. The game has already surpassed 250,000 pre-registrations, indicating strong anticipation among fans. A full promotional video has been released, showcasing the game’s anime-style visuals, character interactions, and hints of its mysterious narrative arc.
