Manga and Anime

The Library has been building its collection of Anime and Manga to support the unit ‘Japanese Anime and Manga’, a subject designed for students without knowledge of the Japanese language.

The small collection of Manga now in Reserve (fantastically interesting – have a browse) will be enhanced by additional titles, many with their parallel English language versions.  The volumes will all be located at DDC 741.5952 (English and Japanese) – to keep the collection distinctive and together on the shelf.  Watch this space …. !
