About the series
A comedic four-issue series from Kadokawa (2016–2019), Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-san turns the daily grind of a manga shop into a warm, absurdly relatable workplace comedy. Written and illustrated by Honda, the story follows a skeleton bookseller navigating the chaos of customer requests, publisher relations, and the sheer strangeness of retail life. It’s a charming, insider’s look at the manga industry from the perspective of the people who sell it—funny, fast, and surprisingly heartfelt for a comic with a literal bone to pick.
