[aisle] My Hero Academia

[Kristi Pierce]

I have kids who read it on their own, but I don't stock it.  The kids have
told me about it and that even they don't recommend it for most 6-8 because
it has some "stuff" in it.  These are usually my 8th graders who are more
mature and very serious manga fans.  Yes, I would hesitate to add it to
your manga collection.

Manga is very interesting and what sometimes looks very juvenile has very
adult content.  It is best to find a good local store with a trusted
employee to help you find titles that aren't the "made for the school
market" variety.
To make things easier to search, use these terms when looking for manga.

>From the Wikipedia article on Manga:

   - *Shōnen* manga <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Dnen_manga>:
   Manga intended for teenage boys
   - *Shōjo* manga <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Djo_manga>: Manga
   intended for teenage girls
   - *Seinen* manga <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seinen_manga>: Manga
   intended for adult men
   - *Josei* manga <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josei_manga>: Manga
   intended for adult women
   - *Myungrang* manhwa <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myungrang_Manhwa>:
   Korean comics intended for children


Knowing what style of manga you need will really help narrow down what you
will want to review.
