Menacing Dog's (Japanese: キョウハクDOG's, Hepburn: Kyōhaku Dog's) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shaa, the same illustrator of the Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu light novel series. The manga was originally serialized in MediaWorks' Dengeki Teioh magazine, but after the magazine became defunct, it began serialization in Dengeki G's Festival! Comic, renamed Menacing Dog's: Another Secret (キョウハクDOG's -Another Secret-, Kyōhaku Dog's -Another Secret-). The manga was serialized in the two magazines between the November 2005 and January 2012 issues. A total of four tankōbon volumes were published under the Dengeki Comics imprint. Infinity Studios licensed Menacing Dog's in North America, and Menacing Dog's: Another Secret's chapters are digitally serialized in English on Kadokawa's Comic Walker website.
