Just because it will never look this immaculate again – luckily so, as the librarian is looking forward to seeing the expressions of joy and surprise on the faces of our keen manga readers as they borrow all these newly-arrived books! These here are just some of our most requested titles, but there is plenty more to explore in the library: Naruto, One Piece, Komi Can’t Communicate and many many more!

Manga club in Bannerman is always in full swing and we keep coming up with new activities and games. Here are some of them:

• Guess the anime theme song (we play a theme song on Spotify and guess)
• Who would say that? (we pick a widely popular manga and read out a pivotal speech bubble, the other club members have to guess which character says that line)
• Colouring pages, always popular and by request
• Blooket manga quiz that the pupils regularly update
• Guess who? (we describe a manga character and have to guess who it is)
• Learning to draw manga-style with our how-to books
• Making bookmarks inspired by manga
• Discussing the manga the pupils have been reading, exchanging recommendations
• Manga Multiverse: we think of mashups of two different manga and what it would be like in terms of plot, characters etc, for example Demon Slayer x Tokyo Ghoul.
