They Don't Wanna Read Books, but, They Will Read Manga!

My Project
A vast majority of students are low readers or just not readers and they are very self conscious of the stigma of not being a great reader. However, I have discovered that no matter the level of reader my students are, they will read manga and comics.
It's almost a bragging point to be reading those materials and especially if you are the first to get ahold of any of the new manga books.
I want to continue to feed that pride. I am also a manga reader and I started our school library's manga collection with my donated books. My boys tend to feel that my old manga books are too 'girly' and want more with action and humor.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
