Teens, every year, librarians around the state of Oregon work to select some of the best comics and manga to read for teens. We would especially like to hear from teens and tweens about your favorite Manga published between March 1, 2021 and April 30, 2022. We have some nominated titles below and would like to know which of these books you liked the most.

Voting will continue for the next few weeks. The Manga with the most votes will likely be included in our annual graphic rave list that is published in the Fall.

Get reading and get voting! Thanks!
