From Far Away (Viz Media) and Translucent (Dark Horse) are good shojo reading for young girls
So you want to know some manga titles for young readers? This isn't as easy as it sounds. Manga publishers do not share a standard rating system so that makes it very difficult to find books rated for middle school-aged readers. But here goes. Two of my favorite shojo (girl's) manga series for this age group are From Far Away , by Kyoko Hikawa, and Translucent , by Kazuhiro Okamoto.
