Titan Manga has revealed an exclusive first look at the art and front cover of the upcoming third volume of Outsiders. The third volume of Akira Kanou’s dark fantasy manga series will be released in print and digital format on April 7, 2026.
Titan Manga describes the main synopsis of the third volume as:
In Outsiders Volume 3, the tension between humans, vampires, and werewolves escalates as Ema’s investigation into a missing classmate takes a chilling turn. When Kaho Sato, a young girl from Ema’s school, vanishes without a trace, Ema and her werewolf partner Taiga embark on a dangerous search for answers. But as they dig into the case, they realize Kaho’s disappearance may be tied to a much larger, supernatural conspiracy.
The closer Ema and Taiga get to the truth, the more they are drawn into a world of supernatural intrigue, filled with mysterious creatures and hidden forces that blur the line between friend and foe. Ema finds herself drawn further into a web of supernatural forces that she never imagine could exist – and forces that might be linked to her own mysterious immunity to supernatural powers.
Volume 3 of the five-part series expands on the high-stakes blend of romance, mystery, and fantasy that defines Outsiders. As secrets unravel, Ema must confront her growing feelings for Taiga while navigating a deepening web of supernatural conflict that could have far-reaching consequences for both humans and otherworldly beings around her.
Kanou ran the manga in Kadokawa Shoten’s Asuka magazine in 2021 and ended in 2023. Five total tankobon volumes were published in Japan. It was also first published in France by Ki-oon.
Titan Manga licensed the manga for English release in August 2024. It published the first volume in English on June 17, 2025 and the second volume on October 7, 2025. A fourth English volume will be released on August 11, 2026.
