May 2017 Manga Releases

Another new month, another slew of manga releases!  Tax season has come to a close in America, which means most of you should (hopefully) have received your tax refunds by now. Getting money back is a great feeling, but what should you do with this “new-found” cash? I think you know where I’m going with this. There are some great titles coming out this month, including a new book from Japan’s top-selling modern author, Haruki Murakami. He’s also my favorite author, so… go buy it. ^_^

This month’s release dates are the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th of May. As usual, 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! Without further ado, here’s our list of the May 2017 manga releases (plus light novels and books)!
