Naruto! Rave Master! Full Metal Alchemist! These titles may not mean much to a regular adult library reader, but they’re some of the hottest titles imaginable if you’re a Delaware teen library user. Manga (Japanese graphic serials) have long been wildly popular with kids, and are now increasingly recognized by educators as contributing to early literacy, especially for reluctant readers.
Manga titles such as the ones listed above are some of the most frequently circulating titles at almost every library that stocks the genre – and at Laurel Public Library EVERY title in their top 10 is a manga, which means that they’re growing an enthusiastic generation of library users who take care of their library now and will support it in the future.
The Manga publisher TokyoPop and the ebook vendor OverDrive recently published a librarians’ guide to the genre, with information on age-appropriateness, typical subjects of the many sub-genres, and other useful information to introduce adults to this dynamic and ever-changing media:
