San Francisco, Calif. (June 27, 2013) – Crunchyroll, Inc., has acquired the anime series Dog & Scissors as part of its summer simulcasts, and is set to broadcast every Monday starting on July 1, at 12:30p.m. Pacific Time for its premium members, with free members able to watch one week later.

Based off of light novel published in Japan as Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyō, Dog & Scissors is a mystery comedy series that centers around a book-loving high school boy named Kazuhito Harumi who is killed in the middle of a robbery, but is then resurrected again in the form of a dachshund dog.
