Love that you did this! I should do an updated manga version of this!

[RKStumblingbear]

Yes! This is a video I have been waiting for!!!

[FullyBookedMelissa]

have only heard of one of these! thanks for all the recs ☺

[HasabeMizurukara]

I had not heard of most of these! Thanks for the recs!

[TomeRaider]

Ahh I'm so glad you made this video! You always have the best recommendations. I started reading Ice Cream Man after you recommended it in a live; I've gotten through the first three volumes and I really need to finish lol. I think I might read Silver Coin or Lady Killer next, they both sound so interesting! I really appreciate all the different genres you included in this rec video. Growing up, I was told that reading comics/graphic novels weren't actual reading and I was discouraged from reading them. I am grateful for readers like you that advocate for different reading formats such as these and that you are willing to make beginner videos for those of us who are clueless on where to start lol.

Thank you for all you do and Happy Mother's Day to you and your mom! I hope you both, along with Babygirl, have the best day and enjoy yourselves to the fullest
💐

I'm a comic and manga reader and now have a higher TBR. Keep them coming!

[jthorne]

Your recommendations all sound awesome! Now, to figure out which one to read first...

Just at the start of the video, but I just wanted to pop in and say your hair looks like it's gotten so much longer recently! It's beautiful!

[RaspberryDevil]

These sound fun, thank you for sharing these titles with us ✨💖

[michellerever]

Thank you! I've been wanting something like this to help me navigate that section of the bookstore for a while!

I know it would probably be very difficult but I'd really appreciate a video on where to start with marvel/DC. Like maybe you picked specific characters and then explained where their story started or something. I know that marcel/dc is a lot so I understand why you wouldn't but I do think it could be a helpful video. This doesn't have anything to do with comics but in general I'd love if you did a vlog reading epic high fantasy. I'm just really curious if you would like it or not. Also, allergic sounds adorable and, lady killer sounds like an awesome time

Hey Ashley 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾. Perfect timing as I am planning the summer reading lists for me and my teenager. We are going to read the Archie comics based off of your recommendation. This is going to be a manga/comics summer!

I read a fair amount of comics/manga/graphic novels, but was wondering if you'd ever consider doing a similar video for manga! I like finding new series through your wrapups (put a hold on blood on the tracks at my library)

Damn, I was interested before, but you got me with Allergic. Lifetime of allergies at various levels of irritating. Dogs and Cats are not as bad as yours but still there. But I got plenty of other just as bad or worse. One thing as an adult is how most people just pass off allergies as nothing much. Work don't care. Just started shot for my environmental allergies. Next step is working on the food ones.

I'd love yo know what you picked up at free comic book day
