We write a line on every series.

286 so far — what a series actually reads like, in one line. Not a synopsis.

Hirayasumi
Contentment with nothing going for him sounds like a joke until Hiroto makes it look like the smart move.Honsama's note
HirayasumiSlice of life · Vol. 1
Love Bullet
Cupids who traded bows for guns and treat a love triangle like a tactical operation clearly are not interested in a subtle approach to romance.Honsama's note
Love BulletAction · Vol. 1
The Hitman Stans
Choosing idol fandom over contract kills doesn't erase the debts of his old life, and chasing glowsticks instead of guns is a strange kind of retirement plan.Honsama's note

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Honsama over retail?

The next breakthrough manga series could be right under our noses! Traditional retailers drown out new releases, often leaving great manga to be undiscovered. Also, there are way too many titles to choose from at the traditional retailer. We remove the hassle of choice and introduce you to manga you'll enjoy!

Almost forgot to mention, you'll be paying less with us than with most retailers.

What if I get a manga I already have?

Every box is built from the newest Volume 1 releases, usually within a month of publication, so an overlap with a shelf you already own is uncommon.

If it does happen, the copy is brand new and unread. It makes a good gift, and passing one on is how a lot of people find their first series.

If you would rather choose the next one yourself, that is what Add-Ons are for.

What is the shipping schedule?

Our shipment cut-off is the 21st of each month for both Monthly Manga Boxes and Add-Ons.

If you subscribe on or before the 21st, your first box will ship at the start of the following month.

If you subscribe after the 21st, your first box will ship a month later, as you'll have missed the cut-off.

Example:

Subscribe on November 20 → Box ships December

Subscribe on November 25 → Box ships January

Do you ship internationally?

We would love to! But at the moment, we are only able to ship in U.S.A. We're working on it however, so stay tuned for updates!

What about the next volumes of a series?

Add them to your box. Our Add-Ons catalogue carries follow up volumes for the series we feature, along with other titles and light novels you can pick up at any time.

Subscribers get 15% off every add-on, and there are no extra shipping fees however many you add. One manga or twenty ships for the same cost.

*Add-Ons are only available to active subscribers.

*To get add-ons delivered in the current month's shipment, add them by the 21st. Anything added between the 22nd and the end of the month moves to the next month's schedule.

What if I miss a cycle but want to read a series that was featured?

You can still start it. Titles we have featured stay in the Add-Ons catalogue, so a series you missed is there to pick up from Volume 1 whenever you want it.

Add-Ons are 15% off for subscribers and carry no extra shipping, so catching up on several volumes costs the same to ship as one.

*Add-Ons are only available to active subscribers.

Can you give more detail about the manga selection?

Each box contains manga that have recently been released, either within the month or from the previous month.

We try to pick various different genres so you'll never be bored!

Here are some example genres you might find in your box:

  • Action / Adventure
  • Comedy
  • Detective / Mystery
  • Drama
  • Isekai / Fantasy
  • Historical
  • Horror / Psychological / Thriller
  • Magical / Magical Girl
  • Martial Arts
  • Mecha / Monster / Kaiju
  • Romance / Romantic Comedy
  • Shojo
  • Shonen
  • Slice of Life
  • Sports

Almost all genres! We do try to cater to a general audience so some exclusions may apply.

Is there an age limit?

We try to cater our manga selections to a general audience!

Which means extensively gorey, dark, or ecchi titles will not be included.

In general, we recommend Honsama for 13+.
