A good friend of mine who is responsible for purchasing reading material for his grade 7,8 school refuses to buy any Manga.
I think this is a big mistake. Manga (you have to be careful of content) has many of the main attrinbutes that research shows reluctant readers (especially male) will read.
In my school library Manga is by far the most popular genre. Some titles have been taken out over 30 times in 2 months.
If you do not have Manga in your school ... get it. Some good titles are Bleach, Kingdom in Hearts and One Piece.

From my experience only about 25 % of grade 7/8 school carry Manga and only about 40 % of secondary school carry Manga.
