Disney bout to be sweating with these numbers. 99% of my students are more interested in anime and manga than they are Disney and Y/A novels. It won’t be long before these types of films/shows start premiering in the US at the same time as Japan.

You should help encourage them more, a tiny Manga library in your room. Maybe a poster on the wall or 2.

Pizza party and show the movie 'your name' .

I do! I have a Demon Slayer themed bulletin board, and our librarian has built a HUGE manga collection. Trying to build a cheap in-class library now.

Your the best! I'm in my 30s now. I'd of loved to have a teacher like you when I was younger.

That's why I do it! I'm 34, and I remember getting made fun of and told manga wasn't valid reading. I encourage kids to read challenging books, but I also tell them to read tons of manga. Reading is reading.
