In one of my early posts I reported I was unable to find hardbound Manga for elementary. That is no longer true. It's limited, but there is some.
Perma-Bound has come out with editions of Manga. Manga for grades 2-5 is represented by the 8 volume series
Avatar: the Last Airbender by Tokyopop which was shown on Nickelodeon TV for a few years. Cine-Manga from Tokyopop ages 3-6, includes
Enchanted, and
Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Also for that age from Tokyopop is
Kilala Princess Vols 1,2,3,and 4.
Kilala Princess for this age is a mini version of the original series. There is a Manga Literary Classics Series for ages 4-7 which includes
Gulliver's Travels, Little Women, and Treasure Island. Perma-bound has more manga for middle school and high school.
Naruto has become a big middle school favorite with youngsters since it became available in the United States as
anime on the cartoon network in 2005. Elementary students ask for it, but it's not appropriate for elementary students. Beware of the new manga's coming out for elementary students. They could be really bad versions of the original art form. I am not saying they are bad. I am just saying take a look first if you can. I would not order many copies of any of the manga titles until I see the actual books.
