Just wondering... imagine a new public (city, county, or regional) library is opened near you. What would be your personal top three picks of manga series for the library to buy?

Do you have a different answer for a college library? What about a high school?

Hey. There's always a chance someone who purchases books for a public library will see this thread. What would you like them to buy?

For now, here's a look at what's generally recommended to librarians.

Manga history: New Treasure Island by Osamu Tezuka

What's popular...

Shōnen: Attack on Titan, Naruto, and One Piece; while Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo "is a classic".

Shōujo: Boys Over Flowers, Fruits Basket, and Glass Mask

Kodomomuke ("intended for children"): Doraemon, Dragonball, and Pokemon; as well as Tezuka’s classic Astro Boy

Seinen: Berserk, Crayon Shinchan, Golgo 13, and Oishinbo; Kazuo Koike & Goseki Kojima’s Lone Wolf and Cub and Hiroaki Samura’s Blade of the Immortal are also considered "hugely influential classics"

Josei: Chihayafuru, Nodame Cantabile, and Usagi Drop

Yaoi: Killing Stalking, No Touching at All, Ten Count

Yuri: Citrus, Murciélago, My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness

Doujinshi: Boundry of Emptiness, The Full Room, and The Tyrant Falls in Love

Ummm my personal favorites that would be cool to see are
1. Bungo Stray Dogs / or Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun
2. Sasaki to Miyano or Hirano to Kagiura
3. Hunter x Hunter (just due to the fact that it is a classic)
