Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san, a surreal workplace comedy adapted from an autobiographical manga, is now fully available on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitles. The complete 12-episode series, which originally aired in Fall 2018, offers a humorous look at the often-underappreciated challenges of working in a bookstore.
Produced by DLE, the anime follows Honda, a skeleton who navigates the daily chaos of retail, from dealing with demanding customers to the drama of missing bonus materials. The series leans into slapstick and observational humor, providing a unique, episodic glimpse into the otaku culture surrounding book sales.
With a MAL score of 7.28, the show's adult cast and absurd premise deliver a consistently funny and relatable experience for anyone who has worked in customer-facing roles or simply enjoys niche comedy.
