So I took The Big Adventures of Majoko, Vol. 1 home for my daughters to read. The 9-year-old zipped through it and loved it. The 6-year-old tried. She's getting into reading on her own (heck, she's almost a grade level ahead of her class in reading), but the manga right-to-left format confuses her. So, we're reading it together. I read the longer bits, and use my finger to help her follow the action. I have her read the single-word exclamations and the like. We read two chapters in a half-hour that way. We'll probably read more this Friday, while waiting for her older sister to get out of dance class. It's a fun way to spend some quality time with her.
My older one wants me to get Volume 2 already. She's also curious about Udon's other titles, none of which our library has yet. At least I contacted Udon, and they're written back to say Swans in Space, Vol. 1 should be available from my distributor now. It seems they had some publishing issues. Yay!
