Mangas

Mangas
Two facts about mangas:
1. You're saying it wrong, it's pronounced "mon-ga"
2. You get to read them backwards! Yay!

Sailor Moon Codename: Sailor V
Minako is an ordinary girl until she finds a cat with a crescent on his forehead that... talks? Then she learns she is actually Sailor Venus who is supposed to fight evil and create world peace. But... shes kinda lazy and a big time tomboy. And fangirl.

Hetalia
Hetalia is a really funny manga about all the countries as people!
It's also my favorite, and, well, you probably won't be able to look at world maps the same way ever again.There is mild swearing though.

Fullmetal Alchemist
Fullmetal Alchemist is about Edward Elric and his brother Al, who are alchemists, meaning they are scientists who can create almost anything, if they give up something of equal value in exchange.   

Warning: Manga is a heavily exaggerated art style, and is best for ages 11+ 
Also, CNN is biased.
