Like reading Manga and Graphic Novels? We have a great selection here at the Rutland Free Library. Here are a few you might like to try.

Fruits Basket – “Tohru Honda was an orphan when one day fate kicked her out of the house and on to land belonging to the mysterious Sohma family. Everything goes well until she discovers the Sohma family’s secret, when hugged by members of the opposite sex, they turn into their Chinese Zodiac animal!” (back cover)

Naruto – “Naruto is a ninja-in-training with an incorrigible knack for mischief. His wild antics amuse his teammates, but Naruto is completely serious about one thing: becoming the world’s greatest ninja.” (back cover)

Ouran High School Host Club – “In this screwball romantic comedy, a poor girl at a rich kids’ school ends up working for the school’s swankiest club – and gets mistaken for a boy!” (back cover)

Tsubasa – “Sakura is the princess of Clow—and possessor of a mysterious, misunderstood power that promises to change the world. Syaoran is her childhood friend and leader of the archaeological dig that took his father’s life. They reside in an alternate reality . . . where whatever you least expect can happen—and does. When Sakura ventures to the dig site to declare her love for Syaoran, a puzzling symbol is uncovered—which triggers a remarkable quest. Now Syaoran embarks upon a desperate journey through other worlds—all in the name of saving Sakura.” (Amazon Review)

We have a variety of Batman titles, Bone by Jeff Smith, and several Star Wars titles including “Clone War Adventures” and “Knights of the Old Republic”. And many, many more! So if you like Manga or Graphic Novels come on in and see what we’ve got!
