I have two young girls in my extended family, ages 8 and 10. I have been gifting / recommending them movies, TV shows, and so on that is as free of current year as possible. The older one has shown interest in reading manga, which I know nothing about, so I am turning to you fine gentlemen in hopes of getting some quality reading for her.
Some points to consider is that it should be something that is translated to local, which is probably the more popular stuff. She has also shown interest in horror movies and such, so some scary / spooky / supernatural elements I guess are fine. Bonus points for having good father figures, I found that to have a good effect on girls.
Not sure if anything else is of import, so, if you have any recommendations, fire away!
Thanks!
my wife is into a manga horror writer named junji ito... I think most of his stuff is for an adult audience but she mentioned one called "soichi" which is apparently more for all ages. can't really tell you it's entirely appropriate, don't read that stuff myself but I think its pretty popular so should be easy to find
Thanks, I will check it out.
While Soichi is a lot tamer than normal Junji Ito horror stuff it still has some rather disturbing content. Better wait few years before you buy it for such young children.
I personally recommend Chi's Sweet Home- a cute and funny manga about mischievous kitten and his new family
