It’s that time again! No, not the holiday season: our list of manga releases for the month! I know money is tight during this time of year. It goes to presents, travel expenses, food, and everything else you regularly have to pay for each month. So, while you could by some of the titles for friends or family, it’s still okay if you treat yourself, too. Alternatively, you can look at it this way: when you buy manga (or light novels or books), you’re really giving back to the creators. So, go ahead and be generous! Here’s our list of the December 2016 manga releases (plus light novels and books)!

This month’s release dates are the 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th of December. You can either click on one of the dates to be taken to that section, do a page search by publisher, or scroll ’til your heart’s content!
