- #1May 2, 2018"Some of Miyazaki's finest hand-drawn fantasy artwork is in this book. I bought it for a 6-year-old friend; he was entranced by the pictures. As noted elsewhere, the story, a simple tale of evil and redemption, bears no resemblance to the much later "Princess Mononoke" movie. For those familiar with Miyazaki's films, it's fun to spot the appearance of several archetypal characters he recreated again and again in various settings. For instance, the cat seen on the cover and in other pictures facially resembles the Cat Bus in My Neighbor Totoro. The illustrations are five-star, but I rated the book four stars for a couple of technical issues: the color reproduction on some pages is too pale, and the english text occasionally has vocabulary that will need to be interpreted by adults for children who can otherwise easily follow the story"

Princess Mononoke: The First Story - #2April 17, 2018"My daughter loves these books. She can sit in her room or in the reading room and read them for hours. She loves the storyline as each is different and loves the characters in them. There are a lot of similarities between American and Japanese culture in terms of these books and its characters which I find interesting. In addition, this book offers a good take on social and political issues but doesn't make it complicated for a young mind. These books are offered a great price as well and are always received in great condition."

Astro Boy (Vol. 1) - #3May 11, 2018"This is a fantastic book. All kids love Pokemon, and there's no better way than to introduce kids to manga than to introduce them to something they're already familiar with. Vol. 4 introduces us to Yellow's arc, but we still see a lot of familiar faces that make the read enjoyable. It's a great story and features a ton of great Pokemon adventures too!"

Pokémon Adventures, Vol. 4 - #4April 17, 2018"This book has everything an adventurer would love! In fact, even the main character is an adventurer. Bakegyamon is a game in backward Japan created by demons for humans. Creepy, huh? Well, the main character is put through many games. Most of which involve him possibly dying. What will happen? Read to find out..."

Pokémon Adventures, Vol. 12 - #7May 5, 2018"Clamp School Detectives is a great series for kids who are getting into manga. The three main characters are charming and cute. They solve mysteries and help out people (usually the proverbial damsels) in distress. It's not deep, but the stories are fun, and the pictures are adorable."

Clamp School Detectives Volume 1 - #8May 12, 2018"Selecting the best manga for kids is always a challenge given the wide variety available on the market.

Refering to:
Yotsuba&! (Vol. 1) - #10April 17, 2018"This is a strange, but fun manga series. My kids loved it. Lots of cute, absurd little things with stories that are interesting but simple enough for young minds. Very unique as well, you definitely won't find anything like this in American comic books."
