Saturn Apartments Vol. 1At the 2011 American Library Association Mid-Winter Meeting held from January 7-11, 2011 in San Diego, the The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) Great Graphic Novels for Teens Committee presented their selections for their 2011 list of recommended graphic novels for teen readers, age 12 - 18. 17 out of the 63 titles on the 2011 Great Graphic Novels for Teens list are manga titles, including one that was included on the Top 10 List, Saturn Apartments by Hisae Iwaoka.

The committee selected a variety of fiction and non-fiction titles that "meet the criteria of both good quality literature and appealing reading for teens." And sure enough, the committee chose a diverse mix of action, comedy, drama and romance titles from VIZ Media, Yen Press, Vertical, Del Rey Manga, Digital Manga Publishing and Seven Seas Manga.

The 17 manga spotlighted by the YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens list include:

I also added these picks to the tally for the Critics' Choice Top 10 Manga of 2010 List.
