"One of the great things about Comics Plus is that there's no waiting, there's no limit to how many comics you can have checked out at a time. There's no limit to how many people can have the same comic checked out at a time, so you're never going to have to put on a hold or be on a wait list. You can just start reading comics right away."

"When people worry about the middle grade audience shrinking, it’s usually because they are keeping graphic novels at arm’s length. But that’s ridiculous." David Levithan, Scholastic
Middle grade is alive and well in #ComicsPlus where #comics and #manga rated for Kids continue to out-circulate everything else. Svetlana Chmakova, Minecraft, Avatar, Big Nate, Quince, Chi's Sweet Home... the kids are alright!
"One way of classifying manga is by demographic categories like shonen and shojo... However, manga can also be divided into genres of similar subject matter. While some popular manga genres are familiar, like romance or horror, others might require a bit more explanation. One such manga genre is isekai."
