Another week in the books. Let’s chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.
Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).
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.

Why not just recommend books to them directly?
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.
