My presentation rocked though, and despite the best laid out plans we got all over the map. The kids knew more than their librarian thought, so they helped me explain yaoi, fanfic, the lack of good shoujo, and more. We ended up all over the place!

(By the way, are you by any chance in Pittsburgh? Because I would LOVE to go to your presentation... even if I am an otaku. Heh.) I'm glad you liked my post. @OtakuLibrarian: Oh my god, thank you!

I'm doing a presentation on anime/manga for non fans later this week, and you nailed several of the titles I'm featuring (FMA, FLCL, Samurai Champloo). I'm also throwing out stuff like Death Note as the type of show that can bring non-anime people into the fold. I'm not delving into the world of Yaoi as I just don't think non-fans are ready for that whole world. I'm a young adult librarian, and I definitely feel like being an otaku helps me with my job. In fact, my favorite thing about my career is the fact that I get to read manga and watch anime! I love, love, love this!

This post actually came from my own experiences with a few libraries where I live that have NO. MANGA. AT ALL. Except, like, one volume of Naruto. Sometimes. I figured that spreading the word about anime and manga would help ^___^ @Zoe: Shameless plug for your blog? Don't make me set the palm tree on you. (I assume he's still in your closet...) @Tricia: You’re so very welcome! This post actually came from my own experiences with a few libraries where I live that have NO. MANGA. AT ALL.

This post was incredibly helpful to me. I'm a teen librarian in a new town and I'm trying to further develop an existing anime and manga collection. The teens in the library's Anime Club have been a great resource, but I'd like to find some new series for them to explore. Thanks again! ThankYouThankYouThankYou!!!
