Fashion brand MAYLA is bringing the world of TV anime Bungo Stray Dogs to its new iconic dress line, with a design inspired by the youthful Dazai Osamu at age 15. Preorders open September 17, 2026 at 17:00 JST.
A Look at the Series
Since its debut as a manga by Asagiri Kafka (story) and Harukawa 35 (art) in Kadokawa’s Young Ace in 2012, Bungo Stray Dogs has grown into a major multimedia franchise. The anime has run for five seasons since 2016, and the first live-action film, Bungo Stray Dogs BEAST, appeared in 2022. The anime celebrates its tenth anniversary in April 2026.
The new dress from MAYLA translates Dazai’s signature outfit into an elegant piece. It features a tailored collar, with tortoiseshell buttons echoing his eye color. Fishtail hems and frills add a sense of movement, while white pleated sections evoke bandages and manuscript paper.
The design also incorporates a trench coat-style waist belt to suggest a flowing long coat, and an embroidered “No Longer Human” (Ningen Shikkaku) — a nod to Dazai’s ability in the series.
The MAYLA “Bungo Stray Dogs Iconic Dress” will be available for preorder from September 17, 2026 at 17:00 until October 19 at 17:00, priced at 31,900 yen (tax included).
