Standard answer is the Thrawn Trilogy starting with Heir to the Empire. Although Truce at Bakura starts minutes after ROTJ ends. I’d start with the trilogy and move from there as you please. There are books and comics before prequels, during prequels, OT timeframe, and post ROTJ
And to this day some people insist there is no agenda. “What we do behind closed doors is none of your business”. I was fine with that but then the activists insisted that a small percent of the population needed massive over representation
I’ll never understand this mindset. My best friend in the Air Force had women throwing themselves at him. I didn’t curl up into a ball and cry about it. Making characters ugly because you can’t stand to see men enjoy traditional beauty just means you have some deep issues
Great thing about Manga is that it’s easy to pick up issue one and start reading.
Also Manga has a variety of genres. It’s a simple fact that some genres appeal to more women and some appeal to more men. Super Hero comics tend to appeal to more guys, and same with sci-fi. My annoyance is that they see this as a problem and think everything has to appeal to women.
Like you said you can make new stuff but you gotta know the audience which they don’t
Sounds fun. Shame they feel the need to push this nonsense
