Kiss the Scars of the Girl At Manga in the Middle we (my students and I) are BIG fans of this manga  referred to lovingly by my students as the Green Lesbians . Well, Kiss the Scars of the Girls  could be affectionately...

New post up at #MangaintheMiddle where I help educators + librarians navigate manga for the middle grades. Which can be tricky! A micro-review for Kiss the Scars of the Girls at mangainthemiddle.weebly.com/reviews/kiss... #MangaGoesToSchool

Spacewalking with You by Inuhiko Doronoda Spacewalking with You is wholesome, important, and engaging.  This is a high-school slice-of-life story centered on two very different--but equally endearing--neurodivergent teens.

HIGHLY recommend Spacewalking with You by Inuhiko Doronoda. Come for the neurodivergent representation, stay for the male friendship, communication, and adorable wholesomeness. 🩷 My micro-review at mangainthemiddle.weebly.com/reviews/spac... #MangaGoestoSchool @mangalibrarian.bsky.social

Cover of Ima Koi manga by Ayuko Hatta, volume 1. Shojo cover shows a girl with soft gray hair and big eyes looking at a handsome manga boy with golden hair and an earring.

Ima Koi by Ayuko Hatta is a sweet shojo add for MS and HS libraries. Plucky heroine, forthright hero, engaging groundwork for friendships and school interactions! My micro-review of Volume 1 is here: mangainthemiddle.weebly.com/reviews/ima-... #MangaGoesToSchool

Hi there, I'd like to be added please! I'm a YA librarian specializing in comics, and as Ashley said, I contributed to #MangaGoesToSchool as a co-writer/artist! I think my art account is in the starterpack, but I'm replying now from my librarian account, haha~

Hi fellow librarians! I contributed to the book #MangaGoesToSchool.
While I am a public librarian, keep in mind:
This is my art/music/personal account, I rarely talk about librarianship here.
I cuss.
I'll be making a separate account for library talk, and follow back from there! Thank you 🙏🏾
