gateways to other literature
Why not just recommend books to them directly?

Hey hi, I’m supervising a 10yo kid in their manga addiction. Cool stuff. I’m looking for references of mangas that could be gateways to other litteratures. For example, Sebastiane Grandelice is a novel with short strips of manga-like exerpts, it influenced them into reading novels. Magus of the library sparked an interest in old books and got us into an old edition of Jules Vernes for a while. Terrarium had them look at other post-apo work all around. Thanks in advance.

I already do this, thanks, but parental (or identified as such) recommendations are sometimes met with strong opposing forces (that’s an euphemism). And I think that the subtle idea that mangas are connected with everything else, and lead to other medias, is something positive.

Here is what I recommend, keep in mind some of them are for adults, so you will need to check if theybare appropriate:
There is more, just look for novels adapted into manga.
Also note that some are for adults, so you would need to check them.
