You know, if you really think about it, we all have a skeleton waiting inside of us right now!

The team behind the upcoming Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-san (Skeleton Bookstore Worker Honda) anime released a teaser visual for the series. The image features a skeleton clad in Honda’s uniform, as well as a confirmation that the show will première in October 2018.

Honda’s Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-san manga made its début in August 2015 on image sharing site Pixiv. The first compiled book hit retailers on March 2016, while book 2 launched in December of the same year. Book 3 hit retailers on September 27, 2017.

Online resource Baka-Updates describes the series as:

Honda-san is a skeleton working in a bookstore, and he frequently has to deal with foreigners in the manga section.
