Before we get into those choices though, a little disclaimer. Due to the nature of manga, where many series continue for many volumes and therefore cover a long period of time, titles focused solely on Christmas are pretty few and far between. And then when we look for the ones that have been translated and are available in English? Unfortunately, that really thins out our options even more. Frankly, we’ve still got a bit of hoping and waiting to do before getting more series that are overtly Christmas-related — such as Finlandia (about a young girl who enrolls in a prestigious school in Finland for those who aspire to become Santas and elves) and Black Night Parade (about a young man who somehow finds himself entangled in the enterprise of the Black Santa, a mysterious and supernatural being) — onto our shelves over here in the States. All that being said, this list is a bit of an amalgamation of different things, taking into account what will actually be accessible for readers and in hopes that readers might be able to explore different approaches to Christmas manga and find one that’s best for them. I do have one title to start off that is fully Christmas-themed, followed by a few recommendations for specific volumes of series that include storylines with the holiday. And to wrap up, we’ve also got a couple upcoming titles that are more generally wintery than focused on Christmas itself. What all have in common, though, is that they’re all great, comfy reads to hunker down with this holiday season! If you’re not necessarily looking for Christmas titles in particular, we’ve also got more options for winter-themed manga to give you that general wintery vibe.
