Hi, For juvenile graphic novel series definitely consider: Adventure Time The Amazing World of Gumball Johnny Boo Zita the Space Girl CatStronauts You may already own Victoria Jamieson Roller Girl & Cece Bell's El Deafo, but those authors also publish other excellent graphic novels. And don't forget anything by Raina Telgemeier, Shannon Hale, Jennifer Holm, Svetlana Chmakova, Wings of Fire graphic novel adaptation by Tui Sutherland. New Kid by Jerry Craft is a great pick. I loved Operatic by Kyo MacLear. Youth graphic novels: Teen Titans Go series, Tokyo Ghoul series, Giant Days, My Hero Academia, Simpsons Comics. Some of the stand alones that have stood out to me lately would be: Bloom by Kevin Panetta, Manuelito by Elisa Amado, Spinning by Tillie Walden Best Wishes, Mari G Marisela Garza | Youth Services Specialist Capital Area District Libraries – Administration 401 S.

You shouldn't forget your manga-loving patrons. They do have series that you can get in omnibus editions, such as Attack on Titan. I know that series can run more than 20 volumes. But there are shorter series that are very good. Some young adult titles would be Your Lie in April, Ouran High School Host Club, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fruits Basket, A Silent Voice, Tokyo Ghoul, Death Note, Battle Angel Alita, Emanon, Ran and the Gray World, and The Gods Lie. Some children's/all-age titles would be Nicola Traveling Around the Demons' World, What's Michael?, Cardcaptor Sakura, Hakumei and Mikochi, Yotsuba, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and In This Corner of the World. Hope this helps. Holly Berrien Springs Community Library

Marjane Satrapi's "Persepolis" is outstanding for older teens! "*A memoir of growing up as a girl in revolutionary Iran, **Persepolis** provides a unique glimpse into a nearly unknown and unreachable way of life... That Satrapi chose to tell her remarkable story as a gorgeous comic book makes it totally unique and indispensable*." - *Time* https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Persepolis-Marjane-Satrapi/dp/0375714839/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=persepolis&qid=1564069755&s=gateway&sr=8-2 On Wed, Jul 24, 2019 at 5:26 PM Amelia Nolan via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:

The Akira books (6 in total) are seminal classics that should have a long shelf life. The film Akira? has remained one of the top anime movies of all time and something most manga nerds (I am one, so it's okay) view as a right of passage. Alger C.
