Da Vinci Code Author Dan Brown Gains Super Powers in Official Japanese Manga

Bungo Stray Dogs (Literary Stray Dogs). The first illustration debuted on Friday:

The "battle action" story Bungo Stray Dogs centers around a league of literary figures with supernatural powers. For example, in real life, Aoi Bungaku Series anime's Jigoku Hen (Hell Screen) arc. In Bungo Stray Dogs, he has the power to transform and manipulate his cloak into a monster-like entity. Together, these writers solve mysteries as part of the "Armed Detective Agency."

Brown himself will have the power of "Inferno" — the ability to compose a three-line poem that offers a glimpse of "hell." The "hell" is actually a reflection of what the real world would be like, 33 minutes from now, so anyone who can decipher the poem can predict the future. Unfortunately, "only Brown himself has the historical and religious knowledge to decipher the poems." (Not coincidentally, Brown's latest novel, Inferno, debuted in English and Japanese this year.)

In the third volume that Agatha Christie (Murder on the Orient Express, The Mousetrap).

When the publishing staff of the manga asked Brown to be a part of the manga, he agreed, saying:

"I've always wanted to be Mangafied."

The first two contemporary writers who agreed to be "mangafied" were Loups-Garous). Here are some of the other characters, as drawn by novel illustrator Harukawa 35:
