Program Description
Event Details
Manga Book Club
Dive into the world of manga with fellow teens who love stories, art, and Japanese pop culture. The Manga Book Club is a welcoming space for ages 13–18 to read, discuss, and explore a wide range of manga—from action-packed adventures and fantasy epics to slice-of-life, romance, and beyond. Each meeting features lively group discussions, recommendations, and opportunities to share your favorite series and characters.
Each month, we’ll read two volumes of a selected series together. After the first few months, the group will decide whether to keep sampling the first two volumes of a new series each month or do a deeper dive into one or two series over several months. Teens who attend will be able to keep their copies of the manga. There will also be time to talk about favorite series and enjoy the occasional special manga- or anime-themed activity.
August Selection: Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Volumes 1–2
This month’s selection features Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Volumes 1–2, by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe. After the defeat of the Demon King, the elven mage Frieren begins a new journey of reflection and discovery, exploring what it means to understand human life, time, and connection long after the adventure has ended. Blending quiet emotional storytelling with moments of magic and reflection, these opening volumes set the tone for a deeply moving fantasy about memory, loss, and what comes after the hero’s journey.
