Broadening horizons (#blogjune)

Manga and anime are something I’ve never really looked at before.  But over the weekend I watched Arrietty, and I’ve tonight read my first manga in volume 1 of Kiki’s Delivery Service.

I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series, and dipping my toe into more anime and manga in the future.

My Neighbour Totoro is on my future list, as is Howl’s Moving Castle.  Any other suggestions for a newbie to these genres and formats?
