Somehow my mother went and said that she would like to read manga, something she has never done before
She is a woman in her 50s and thus reccomending entry level stuff for teenagers of young guys like me simply won't do
so anyone knows of something she would enjoy?
Yotsubato!
YKK
>nobody can dislike yotsuba
the answer was so obvious
this looks great enough, how come I've never heard of this?
boku no pico
Fruits Basket. I believe is she really wants to give manga a try, I'd stick with love drenched slice of life.
I don't know how serious she was about it, but she was definitely curious
My first option was Junji Ito
fruit basket might be a bit childish though
>junji ito
Terrible suggestion
Kakukaku Shikajika is probably a pretty good choice considering the protagonist is a middle-aged woman drawing about her youth
monster and otoyomegatari would be nice choices
Berserk
Aria, Nozaki-kun, Gakuen Babysitters, Emma.
I was joking
it would be hilarious though
Mizuki
Tezuka
Barefoot Gen
that's it
I don't know, I found Ito to never really have an impact on me. It might end up boring her to tears.
Kokomo no jikan.
My mother enjoyed death note surprisingly. Give that a go as a decent entry level comic.
Vamp Hunter D
Mushishi
usagi drop
depends on which. Uzumaki might bore her, but the one of the inflating fish would definitely disgust her, maybe
now that would really be hilariously, although I don't want her to confirm that her son is a pedo
>otoyomegatari
This.
My mom read all the volumes I had, the only thing she didn't really like was the nudity, otherwise she enjoyed it.
In general I'd give her something with drama and romance to read, as cliched as it sounds.
Emma
Sakamichi no Apollon
Nodame Cantabile
Emma
Paradise Kiss
>otoyomegatari
Fair enough, I'll trust what you are telling me
although last time I trusted Sup Forums things went disappointing
Fruits Basket is complete shit. "Wahh I'm a stinky cat" no one cares you faggot
Get her to read fucking I"s or Bitter Virgin if you want SoL romance shit. Your mom's 50 years old not a 14 year old love obsessed teenage girl. Have her read Oyasumi Punpun.
This. Tell her it reminds you of a gender reversal of your own relationship. It's a bit of a gamble but if you're lucky...
Only the first and maybe second part of JoJo since its more Western
Fist of the Northstar (Kenshiro and Yuria)
Ed Edd n Eddy
Ore monotagari
The only one you need
Watched this with my family once.
They liked it.
what is she into? my mum likes crime drama so she read the first volume of death note. despite saying she liked it she hasn't got any further than that
Sukima-Shiki
Fugurumakan Raihouki
Uchuu Kyoudai
What does she like outside of manga? There is plenty manga for literally everybody. Especially if she can read Japanese. Generally speaking, josei manga is for big girls to read.
For ambiguosly mature people series, you could start with Bartender or Skyhigh.
Or Detroit Metal City. Evrybody wants to go to Detroit Metal City.
...
This, OP. My mom loves yotsubato, we read the new chapters together. She even asked me for a shirt with yotsuba's pic on it for her birthday.
My mum watched Death Note and refused to watch any more after L died. She hated Near and Mello and thought the series should've ended with L's death.
Tachibana san chi no dansei jijou
your mom has good taste
>how come I've never heard of this?
lurk moar
Not sure about manga, but my mom loves Sword of The Stranger. She said it's like Mulan.
Kino no tabi
Mushishi
You could recommend her Sazae-san.
It's about a middle-aged housewife and there's enough episodes where she's gonna be busy until she's in her 90s.
>Emma
Yes, definitely. Aria might be a bit too much to ask of someone who has never read manga before, Japanese tropes tend to be quite un-relatable to the uninitiated.
