where to start Manga

If you're keen to introduce tadoku in your class, you might already know that there are lots of English manga available there days. It's a huge loss if you don't make the best use of them. I bet in about ten years or so, many Jyuku, which are striving for the survival in a society of fewer kids, would decide to use manga in the classes. Manga is the bet material for Japanese junior high and high school students. Of course they're not easy to read and Ss won't understand many of the sentence. But it's nothing you need to worry about. Children's mind is young! and flexible! If they can read the manga they're madly into, they're going to absorb English subconsciously. There is nothing much you teachers have to do. That's what I'd seen in my daughter and other high schoolers.

I was asked to make a list of manga for some school, 90% of whose students are male, and here is my recommendation. Anyone can recommend me some more? The budget is quite limited, though...
