The Bungo Stray Dogs anime franchise will celebrate its tenth anniversary in April 2026 since its TV broadcast began in Japan on April 7, 2016. The franchise has scheduled various projects for the year leading up to its tenth anniversary as a period of pre-celebration, and the plans that will take effect between July and September of this year have been unveiled. The first in July is the ninth anniversary visual, which depicts the members of Port Mafia celebrating their ninth anniversary by all posing with a “9”. The second in August is a collaboration campaign with the popular ochazuke (tea-soaked rice) restaurant chain Dashichazuke En , because ochazuke is a favorite foof of Atsushi Nakajima, one of the main characters of the anime. The campaign is scheduled to be held at all stores of the chain in Japan from August 5 to September 15. Further details will be revealed at a later date. The third in September is a campaign at the Animate stores, titled "Bunsto Autumn Festival." New items featuring a newly-drawn illustration of the Port Mafia members on a trip to Kyushu (as a pun with Kyu-shu-nen / ninth anniversary ) will be available at all Animate stores, including overseas stores, and Animate online store starting September 12. The lineup includes items related to the theme of travel, such as acrylic stand and hologram character badge collection, as well as mini trunk case and locker key-style key chain.
