Fuck You Posts: 1,034 Group: Banned Member #498 Joined: November 19, 2005	Should School libraries keep manga and comic books in their libraries? Would it be too distracting? Is it expensive? Once, I was bored so I took a stroll in my school's library. Honestly, at the end of the stroll. I had wasted 5 minutes of my time, and was even more bored. So I was wondering, should schools keep manga in their libraries? And if they are too distracting, why not only lets students read them in lunch or something? Discuss.

Do not tell me that manga is art. Do not tell me that it is as capable of a narrative as any novel is. I know that. But literature is purely evocative, where you form the image of the events in your mind, whereas manga and comics are more of a visual art, where you follow the action visually, read text that adds depth to the action, and combine the two into a cohesive narrative. That difference, and perhaps the lack of historical relevance comics and manga have to our direct history, is why they have no business being in a school library. ... And even then, what would you do with them? A book report on Love Hina: Vol 5?

WATER RESISTANCE IS HUGE Posts: 278 Group: FEFFer Member #1,234 Joined: April 28, 2007	While I've been reading manga for a while because I'm too lazy to get an actual book to read for daily reading, which is an assignment, it's not exactly in the school's interest to put manga in their library. A useless investment, rly. Public libraries do have manga, tho'.

Posts: 5,003 Group: Veteran Member #396 Joined: August 19, 2005	I don't see much reason to put manga in school libraries. As Soja said, actual literature is a lot more educational and usually intellectual then manga is. Nothing bad would technically come out of it, but it would seem like a waste of money for the school if they were buying the manga. If people want to read manga in school, they are free to bring in their own if they want to. If manga suddenly appeared in my school's library, maybe I would take some time to read some since I'm too lazy to do that now, but even then its a stretch.

I feel that graphic novels and comics are an underappreciated media that have the potential to be better than just writing. It's a combination of art and text, communicating the idea from the author much more clearly. A book can't do what a comic can do. But I'm not defending the manga we're talking about here. Most of the manga you'd find in a Barnes&Nobles isn't very deep.
