Thread: Manga for a young girl

Grumble Grumble Grumble

I would think that 'Cardcaptor Sakura', the famous CLAMP manga series, (and the personal favorite of the CLAMP authors) would be right your alley for your needs...

A friend actual just bought her the first 3 volumes of that one, just waiting for it to arrive in the mail, she also got her A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. I am glad to hear that Cardcaptor Sakura should be good though so THANKS!

Cardcaptor Sakura,fruit baskets,inuysha, those are three good mangas and whats the age i can help you out alot more if you tell me because i say show her chobits if shes 13 but manly 15 because chobits has adult things k so whats the age.

She's 9. I am open to some of the 13+ series as long as there isn't anything perverted in it. She is very intelligent and mature for her age. I let her watch the anime Kodocha and Full Moon with me and that was ok.

Well do furit Baskets it has good things dont show her chobits untill shes like 15 then and 'Cardcaptor Sakura' is good so inuysha k try those 2 .

Fruits Basket isn't appropriate for a 9 year old... there are topics of homosexuality, abuse, gang activity, etc.

It's also probably not going to interest a 9 year old to read about much older students.

I would actually follow the age ratings (or at least research the titles first), not all of them are appropriate for (or interesting to) younger children.

I'd agree that Card Captor Sakura is a good choice. My Melody, Kirarin Revolution, Shugo Kyara, Pretty Cure, etc are all rather popular with my elementary students. I'm not sure of their liscenced status... but they might be good choices.

Uh, Inuyasha? For a nine-year-old girl? You have any idea of how intense a nine-year-old girl's fandom for Inuyasha can be? Scary...

Ah, Card Captor Sakura... Oh, and try introducing her to the Searching for the Full Moon manga. Oh, and Saint Tail, I have fond memories of that... I'm not sure you can find the Saint Tail manga though. But I think there's a good chance you may find the anime...

I remember hearing a few good things about D.N.Angel, but I never really looked into it...
