    Long story short, my youngest cousin was staying here at the house when her family lost power due to the large ice storm that hit the Northeast. I wasn't home yet, and she discovered my manga shelf and asked for a couple of books to borrow. I let her take Inuyasha, because that's what she was reading when she called me. Plus, out of everything she could have picked up, it was one of the safer choices (cough yaoi cough).

    I sorted through my collection trying to find safe titles for a budding manga addict. Other than Inuyasha, I've added KH, Rave Master, Fruits Basket, and Bo-Bo..whatever.

    Now that I know that she likes manga, I need help in figuring out which titles would be more suitable for someone her age. Her parents are...well...strict. I'm surprised that they even let her read the stuff in the first place. And I don't want to get busted for giving her something like, say, Fullmetal Alchemist. they'd ream me if they saw her reading that.

    LOL. I was 9 when I started on inuyasha... >>

    Rave Master is good, although by book 12 or 13 it gets a little bit more teenager-ish adds some swearing and such. There's a manga series at my school called Shaman King she might like. It's more kid-ish and has nothing bad in it (that's why they have it in my school).

    She should read something along of the lines from the TV Show 4KidsTV. They have Shaman King, and other kid Manga Titles in Series. Along with Totally Spies, I'm not really any other is really apropiate for her age. Other then Tokyo Mew Mew. xD

    Try Shugo Chara! It's about a 5th grader and her friends and it's super cute and very funny.
