The third Monday in July is Japan's Marine Day, a national holiday thanking the sea for the bounty that it provides the island. NicoNico has an anime swimsuit episode marathon to celebrate. The anime site for Bungo Stray Dogs is also marking the occasion with special welcome art featuring the Port Mafia on a sea-side outing.

Upcoming projects include an OVA episode 25 with volume 13 in August, spring 2018 anime movie Bungo Stray Dogs DEAD APPLE, the stage production and a Mayoi Inu Kai Kitan action RPG for smartphones.
