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
Hajime Isayama


New volumes: 15, 16, 17

“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. Little is known about where they came from or why they are bent on consuming human-kind, but the sudden appearance of an enormous Titan is about to change everything.”
