Here's to hoping that reverse harem titles such as "Barajou no Kiss" will be featured as well.

After all, Japan is in need of more youth, and I'm sure such things could be accomplished by "relaxing" women of child bearing ability.

I think the most important book should be there:

With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child
Hikari to Tomo ni... Jiheishō-ji o Kakaete


Autism has greatly increased in children over the last couple decades. Not only will it help mothers who might have an autistic child (but they are unaware yet because it isn't born/is too young to notice the signs) but it will teach them tolerance of other children and families who do have autism. Spreading awareness. Best.

Dear, sweet Faiga. You just made my year. I am seriously fighting back tears right now.

WTL is one of my all-time favorite manga; not only because I have friend and family who are on the autism spectrum, but because the series is so heartfelt, so human, and so breathtakingly insightful. It allows not just a glimpse but a full-fledged exploration into a world so many people know next to nothing about. It humanizes what is seen as "creepy, strange, stupid, difficult," and "unnatural," and shows the true emotions and struggles underneath.

This was an excellent comment. I've been looking for manga and anime that deal with more mature topics, and this is perfect.

Thank you for mentioning it.
