I’ve heard from some of you that Anime Planet, the list aggregator I use for title recommendations, is blocked at your schools! This is frustrating, and I suspect comes from schools using sweeping blocks of words like anime. I have for those of you impacted by this a collection of all of my lists in Google Doc form. Admittedly, they’re very simple at the moment- I’ll eventually replace them with more sophisticated lists, but my goal to do that keeps getting sidetracked and I don’t want to delay any longer. When the permanent lists are in place, I’ll let you know!

Hi!
I’ve been… busy. The start of the school year sort of swamped me, but here are some things I’ve done recently, in case you missed it:
I was on School Librarians United with Amy Hermon to talk about Manga!
I was also on Shojo & Tell to talk about the classic shojo manga series Hana-Kimi for three episodes. It was so much fun to talk about this series!
Finally, last night was the Manga in Libraries: Supporting All Learners webinar. You can view the webinar here:
Our resource document is HERE.
The other panelists are:
Jillian Rudes
School Librarian
Derek McGrath
Independent Scholar
Victoria Rahbar

In this video, I delve into why neurodivergent people may find anime and manga appealing. While being neurodivergent and interested in the subculture is not mutually exclusive, there are reasons why students who process the world differently may seek out anime and manga. This video is the beginning of a conversation, but I would like to continue delving in in the future, and hope to have further conversations with others who are neurodivergent!
Disclaimer: While I am autistic and dyscalculic, my experiences do not encompass the experiences of all people who are neurodiverse or even autistic. Please consider multiple perspectives.

You may have noticed that I’ve been a little quiet the past couple weeks, and it’s because the end of the school year is upon us, so I’ve become insanely busy!

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know this is one of my favorite topics!

Also, in case you missed them, there was an excellent panel from But Why Tho? entitled “Let’s Talk Queer Storytelling in Manga and Anime” which you can watch HERE on their Twitch Channel featuring members of the LGBTQ+ Community.
And there was also an amazing panel on manga translation, which you can view below:
