My good friend is going to be laid up in the hospital for a while and she’s a big anime fan. She loves books with strong Black protagonists, especially women.
She’s also an artist, so bonus points if the protagonist is an artist or there is an artist character elsewhere in the story.
Anime is not at all my scene and she’s too sick for me to ask her what she’s already read or the kind of things she’s into at the moment so I’m flying blind here. I’m happy to buy more than she needs in hopes of just throwing it all at the wall to see what sticks.
She prefers books to TV so it’s not important whether there’s a show adaptation, she’ll enjoy it just as much either way.
Thank you very much in advance!
PS: If there’s a really good, lesser known, anime please suggest me that as well regardless of race! She’s up on all the popular stuff but I’d love to bring her as much good books as possible.
PPS: If you happen to know of a good book about a Black woman artist (any genre whatsoever), please drop that suggestion as well.
