Manga (Anime) series info?

[goddess47]

I'm writing a story where my main character stops his friend, a dad to a 13-ish year old boy, from purchasing some anime manga books because the main character knows the book series is too adult (sex, violence, both) for a 13 year old. The main character then recommends a different series because the story line is more appropriate for the age of the teen.

The story is the relationship between the main character and the dad, so this is a small piece of the larger story. But I know absolutely nothing about anime (or manga, obviously!) and would appreciate some recommendations of titles that would fit those categories.

Thanks!


ETA: I'm looking for currently available titles and perhaps where they are best purchased (a bookstore, a comic book store, a specialty shop, online?)


ETA2: I'm looking US-centric here.

Well for a start the books are called manga. Anime is the screened stuff, manga is the printed version.
And what titles would likely depend on when it is set.

Ah! See how little I know! Thank you for correcting that... and that gives me something for my dad character to also get wrong and my main character can correct that.

I'm simply looking for current titles that would be currently available... dad would be unknowing enough to actually go to a mainstream bookstore to look for a book for his teen. But the titles don't have to be available in a mainstream store. My main character can direct him to a comic book shop (?) or online to someplace more appropriate.

Thank you!
