The story follows the downfall of the titular Kerberos unit as their overzealous actions as well as internal sabotage lead to their demise and their attempted coup against the Weimar Establisment in a last ditch effort to survive. The story is followed from the perspective of several different characters, but it mainly focuses on the "Devil's Trio" of Kōichi Todome, Washio Midori and Sōichirō Toribe as they tackle the anti-government extremists that run rampant on the streets.

'''Kerberos Panzer Cop''' (犬狼伝説 Kenrō Densetsu) is a two volume ScienceFiction DieselPunk manga written by Creator/MamoruOshii and illustrated by Kamui Fujiwara that ran in ''Shonen Ace'' magazine from 1988 to 2000. It's the first manga in Mamoru Oshii's ''Franchise/KerberosSaga'' and serves as a prequel for ''Film/TheRedSpectacles'' and ''Film/StrayDogKerberosPanzerCops''.
The story follows the downfall of the titular Kerberos unit as their overzealous actions as well as internal sabotage lead to their demise and their attempted coup against the Weimar Establisment in a last ditch effort to survive.

A sequel called ''Kerberos Saga Rainy Dogs'' ran on ''Ace Tokunoh'' magazine from 2003 to 2004 and followed the immediate aftermath of the Kerberos riot and Kōichi's escape from the country.
A {{Remaster}} of the manga was published in April 2010 to commemorate the release of the manga's first volume in 1990 under the title ''Kerberos Panzer Cop a Revision : 20th edition'' and featured digitally improved graphics of Kamui Fujiwara's art.
The first four acts of the manga were published by Creator/DarkHorseComics in english under the title ''Hellhounds: Panzer Cops'' in 1994 and was also published by Diamond Comic Distributors in the UK in 1998. This translation renamed and removed all references to real locations or political entities from the story.
