We’ve done a much-needed update of our graphic novel section, including loads of new manga. It’s currently on display in the library, but here’s a summary of the new titles to get you started! Some are entirely new series, and some are the newest additions to existing series.
Attack on Titan

“For the past century, what’s left of mankind has hidden in a giant, three-walled city, trapped in fear of the bizarre, giant humanoids known as the Titans.
