Today we're looking at manga that focus on the past, so all of Ms. Kerry and Ms. Kelly's suggestions are historical fiction. Think Vikings and Samurai! Our two librarians chat about favorite time periods and the pros and cons of living in the past.
Not only do they suggest manga but a variety of recommendations from all kinds of media. Please be warned, there will be some spoilers for some of the manga mentioned. You may put the manga, books, and DVDs mentioned on hold by following the links below: 
Heart of a Samurai : based on the true story of Manjiro Nakahama by Margi Preus
The Last Kingdom : a novel / Bernard Cornwell
Rurouni Kenshin. Vol. 1, Meiji swordsman romantic story, story and art by Nobuhiro Watsuki
Samurai Champloo 
Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue
Vinland saga by Makoto Yukimura

Fangs for Listening

Join two Teen Librarians as they venture into the world of manga to find only the best recommendations for just the right occasions. Every other week, they'll suggest manga you may want to read. 
And all of the manga they mention will be available to order through the Akron-Summit County Public Library, either physically or digitally. They'll go over what the manga is about, connect it to other media outside of the manga realm, and offer other important details such as suggested age level or content awareness.
