October 2016 Manga Releases

Autumn’s in full swing in both Japan and the United States! Plenty of stores in both countries are brimming with Halloween spirit (and maybe a bit of Christmas spirit, too). If you’re looking to get into the spooky spirit, too, look no further than the manga section of your local bookstore (or easily clickable website link). Plenty of Halloween-appropriate manga are coming out this month, from vampires and zombies aplenty to all sorts of monsters and supernatural creatures in-between. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the list of October 2016 manga releases (plus light novels and books)! This month’s release dates are the 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th of October. 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!
