Like I said, there’s plenty to love about the show. But for this list I’m going to focus on three elements or categories that stand out in order to pick the 11 books to read if you like the show Arcane. The first category is morally gray characters with complicated relationships. The second is more about aesthetics, and it covers books with the steampunk vibe. The third and final category is books that mix science and magic to create complex worldbuilding. The stories all share more elements with Arcane, but I divided them this way to make things a little easier. Oh and one last thing! I also mention a couple of manga that have some serious Arcane vibes. So without further ado, let’s get into it! Looking for more books like your favorite movies and TV shows?
