Reddit mentions: The best action & adventue manga books

I'm sticking to short books that may be slightly above her reading level, but to be honest I think most kids read "up" anyways, and if she's bored she might like the challenge. These are all fast-moving, narrated by a first-person narrator with a great voice that hooks you, and they all have that "what happens next?" quality I think is really valuable in keeping you turning pages.

True Grit - yes, it's a Western, but it's a fast, funny book that is narrated by a 14-year-old girl who is a total badass. I didn't expect much from it and it hooked me like heroin.

Kamikaze Girls - a translation of a Japanese book about a super-high-fashion girl stuck in the sticks and her biker gang best friend. Really mean, really funny, and totally different from what you'd expect. The world it takes place in is so real, so detailed, but so alien to the US (but also kind of familiar - we all sometimes hate our hometowns) that it sucks you in.

Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime - I agree with the other poster who says this is a good one. It's really sad, but the story sucks you in.

The Fault In Our Stars - great YA book that is funny and sad and all about cancer which feels Very Important to read about when you're 12. But super-gripping and the narrator has a great voice.

Sale discounts for new manga in US:

1. Rightstuf holiday sales: 50% off. Only for select series, but includes popular titles like Berserk and Jump stuff.
   
   
2. Barnes & Noble buy 2 get 1 free: ~33% off. Often you can get more than 33% with additional coupons and some volumes aren't at retail price to begin with, BUT you have to play around with the numbers because they take the cheapest things as free.
   
   
3. Rightstuf publisher sales: 33% off.
   
   
4. Rightstuf non-sale: 25% off. They often give out 5~10% off coupons with orders, which can lower this more.
   
   There are also other retailers like instocktrades which give 40% off regularly, ebay for used stuff with relatively common coupons (going up to 20% off), and Amazon where volumes go for 50% off randomly (for example, Grand Blue Dreaming vol. 2 right now).
   
   Canada has Indigo, which goes up to >50% off: detailed sales info

Ya see, I'm not too sure what you listen to and I'm not good with picking just one item. If you don't, I'm gonna throw a few suggestions your way.

• Rush's 2112. Just recently listened to them/this album for the first time last month-ish. People said it was great, and it is.
  
  
• This Will Destroy You- Young Mountain. Don't know if you're big on Post-Rock, but I really recommend these guys.
  
  
• Vangelis- Blade Runner. Don't know if you like synthesizers, Blade Runner or that noir feel in your music, but if you do, this would definitely be a good addition to your collection.
  
  I'll stop there as to not make this any bulkier. Hope one of those is of interest to you.
  
  Again, not good with decisions so either Yu-Gi-Oh cards, used manga or Jedi sticker.
  
  But for real, What up doe? I'd be more than happy to suggest other albums if you really want.

Manga seems an obvious choice here, something like Yotsuba to could be fun. Others to check out are Kamikaze Girls and Nana

In terms of mythology and folk lore:

Lafcaido Hearn's ghost stories are quite fun.

As is this book on Japanese monsters - The Book of Yokai

Lastly, I am a literature person so I have to recommend at least one piece of literature. Perhaps something like Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen or Soseki's I Am a Cat could be good a young reader and serve as an introduction to Japanese literature. Though admittedly the Soseki may a little much for 12 years old. It is a great book though!

A lot of these are pseudo-random/not in a particular order (like vol 20, 21, and 22), but there are often 2-3 in a series that qualify. I also found some (listed at the bottom) that weren't part of this deal but had coupons to use to get them for an immediate discount.

RWBY: Official Manga Anthology Vol. 1 & Vol. 3

Rurouni Kenshin Vol. 7: Includes vols. 19, 20 & 21 & Vol. 9

Dragon Ball omnibuses: Vol 5, Vol 13

Tokyo Ghoul: re, Vol. 11 & Vol. 8 & Vol. 13

Radiant Vol. 5 and Vol. 6 - Is this even technically a manga??

Mixed 3-for-2 and coupon deals within a series (but you should probably collect these series in their box sets to save money):

Bleach, Vol. 64 is $8.68 - $2.02 coupon.

Bleach, Vol. 68 & Vol. 69 & Vol. 70 & Vol. 73

Bleach Box Set 3: Includes vols. 49-74

Naruto (3-in-1 Edition), Vol. 23: Includes vols. 67, 68 & 69 is part of the 3 for 2 deal.

Naruto, Vol. 67 is part of the 3 for 2 deal.

Naruto, Vol. 72 is $8.45 - $1.79 coupon.

One Piece, Vol. 76 is $8.66 - $2.00 coupon.

One Piece, Vol. 77 is part of the 3 for 2 deal.

One Piece, Vol. 78 is $8.36 - $1.70 coupon. Same price as vol 76.

Interesting stuff part of the 3 for 2 deal:

Shigenori Soejima: Art Works Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 - From Persona artist Shigenori Soejima.

Lone Wolf and Cub Omnibus Volume 1

Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive Volume 2 and Volume 3

This song was the first song I listened to by this band, and that's when I knew this would be my favorite band. I heard this song 10 or 11 years ago, and it still is amazing, and they're still my favorite. I actually saw them live in January. 2good.

This is what I would like!


Thank you very much!

book i want third of the first trinity blood saga. Best book in the past year...Tough call, if it can be a reread i recently reread clan of hte cave bear still just as awesome as it was the first time.

I just picked up Vinland Saga. It's the first Manga I've picked up since high school, so the first I've read in 6+ years. It's amazing. If you like vikings, ultra-violence, feats of badassdom, and a good story to go with it, I highly recommend.

I started reading Black and White 1 by Taiyo Matsumoto. I really enjoyed it. Matsumoto has created these two kids that are tough and go around beating up Yakuza. He uses this great style that is a cross between Japanese manga and European comics. The drawings are playful and cartoony but not in a manga kind of way. It's the drawing that really makes the book. I haven't finished it yet but the story is minimal. We learn about the boys devotion to one another and their antagonism toward the gangs around them. It's a fun read that I would recommend.

There are tons these days. It's a real popular format. Some stuff I'd recommend:

Just Good Stuff:

• Gunslinger Girl
  
• Umineko no Naku Koro ni
  
• Vinland Saga
  
• Victorian Romance Emma
  
• Another
  
  Classic Clamp from Dark Horse:
  
  
• Cardcaptor Sakura
  
• Chobits
  
• Clover
  
  Yuri:
  
  
• Girl Friends
  
• Whispered Words

Also read A New Beginning, it has some of the best art I’ve seen for KoF, and maybe even manga in general. Here’s what the latest cover looks like for example.
It’s also probably the second best battle manga out right now close behind Kengan. (Link to where you can read the scanlations online)

An official English release is coming out on March 20th of next year and pre-orders are open for it so please consider picking it up. (Link to pre-order)

Apparently they did the same thing with, like, every one of L. Ron Hubbard's fiction books on Amazon

What a beautiful lady hosting this c:

This manga for Lewis, used of course! Or this Kong toy for the new kitty!!

It says 3 to 5 weeks for delivery. Fanfare's US releases are always rather soft, so while the book exists and is, for lack of a better word, out, distribution's bound to be a bit spotty.

Still, Fanfare's Taniguchi books go in and out of print pretty quickly so if it's something that interests you, I'd log an order now, because who knows when it'll be available again.

Well then, there's a treasure trove of Mass Effect comics and novels to read.. and that late Andromeda novel.

IDW's Ninja Turtles is pretty dope.

In addition to what's already been said there's also a bunch of spin-offs and one-shots:

• a 6 page epilogue from one of the artbooks called "Haru ni Sakura".
  
• a 2 chapter prequel called "To Rule the Flame".
  
• a two volume spin-off called "Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration". [1], [2]
  
• a 2 chapter side-story called "The Ex-Con Ashitaro". [1], [2]
  
• 3 light novels, of which only one was released in English called "Voyage to the Moon World".
  
• a 3 minute long clip from one of the collector's edition box-sets that gives the series a bit better conclusion.
  
• a few special episodes that were not included in the DVD releases, though they're just recap episodes. (No idea where to find these online, sorry.)
  
  There is also a continuation of the manga in the works, but it won't begin until sometime this spring.

Looks like Urusei Yatsura is up

You mean hardcover volumes and/or omnibus?

First things that come to mind are (these are all hardcovers)

Nausicaa box set (2 hardcover books for all 7 volumes)

Gundam: The Origin 2in1 hardcover volumes. 8 out 12 total out. Volume 12 comes out in December. Although I know Japan did get a Aizōban release so not sure if much other than the covers are different.

Vinland Saga - 2 in 1 hardcover volumes. 5 out more coming out later this year.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 1 - Phantom Blood - Volume 1 Hardcover although only 1 volume out at the moment. Volume 2 in May and Volume 3 in August.

Highschool of the Dead Color Omnibus 2 books first one has the first 4 volumes 2nd one has the next 3 all in full color.

Nijigahara Holograph by Inio Asano

Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko)

The Angel of Elhamburg by Aki this one just came out this week

A Bride's Story (Otoyomegatari) with Emma getting a hardcover release soon

I am sure there are more but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

Unless I'm mistaken, 464 pages seems too much for the manga, usually manga's are released with around 200 pages, maybe I'm mistaken
