Today We Talk of Yesterday

Today we're looking at manga that focus on the past, so all of Ms. Kerry and Ms. Kelly's suggestions are historical fiction. Think Vikings and Samurai! Our two librarians chat about favorite time periods and the pros and cons of living in the past. Not only do they suggest manga but a variety of recommendations from all kinds of media. Please be warned, there will be some spoilers for some of the manga mentioned.
