Summary:"Teens especially love both manga - the highly visual, emotionally charged, action-packed comics imported from Japan - and anime (Japanese animation)." "This book, chock full of checklists and sidebars highlighting key points, gives the novice the background information necessary to feel confident in selecting, working with, and advocating for manga and anime collections. It offers more experienced librarians fresh insights and ideas for programming and collections." "The book also includes genre breakdowns and annotated lists of recommended titles, particularly those appropriate to preteen and teen readers. Classic and benchmark titles are mentioned as appropriate. A glossary and a list of "frequently asked questions" complete the volume."--BOOK JACKET.
