So I live in north Texas and my older brother and his family live in norther Virgina/DC area so I only get to see him and his kids like once every two years. Apparently his two oldest daughters (one is going to be a freshman and the other a sophomore) are really into Anime and want to buy manga. With anything the slightest bit in the "nerd sphere" he always tells them to contact me, and so they texted me and asked me all about different anime and what I would suggest.
So I know what I will be sending them this Christmas. I love how unlike western entertainment Anime/Manga understands who their audience is and caters to it, so what would be ideal for a teen girl? I know the older one enjoys Attack on Titan and said she likes stuff with romance and the other one loves Vinland Saga and I told her about Ah My Goddess, and she seems to like that one so far.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, and thank you in advance.
I'll second Nausicaa as a good pick. It's only a few volumes for the entire thing and it's well done. It's Miyazaki in his element and it's one of the few manga where I've actually invested in a physical copy.
Escaflowne is probably a solid pick for someone who's into Attack on Titan but also wants some girly romance mixed in. I can't vouch for the manga as I've only seen the anime, but it should be fine aside form some weirdness with Dilandau.
Thanks! Wow compiled a nice list.
