Oh man. Manga has been honed over decades to be artfully escapist. The Japanese have this stuff down as an engineered art form and they divided it by gender too.
As a dude I recommend stuff like, great teacher onizuka or Naruto or attack on titan or full metal alchemist... but that's stuff engineered for men.
For girls you'll have to Google but it's definitely a targeted genre as well with tons of long running mangas.
- cableshaft 3y agoShe doesn't seem to really be that into manga actually, even though we do watch some anime from time to time. Like we're churning through One Piece right now (although that's mainly thanks to seeing and liking the live action adaptation). I could give her the manga for it, but I don't think she'd be as interested as just watching the anime. She hasn't expressed any interest in it, at least, where as soon as we finished Nimona she said "I want the graphic novel." And she doesn't own any manga, whereas she owns several dozen other graphic novels.
- corethree 3y agoIt's no different really. It's just the volume of manga is much more higher and diverse then American comics. She can't really know if she's interested if she hasn't tried it. Though I will say manga does have it's cliche tropes the same way American comics do it with super heroes. If she picks the wrong book she can easily be turned off.
