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.

I have a suggestion for the inappropriate series: Chainsaw Man. It's pretty popular and can be found in book stores in the USA, so it would work for this scene. I could see how someone might think it's a good story for their teenage son at first glance, but it's very violent and deals with mature themes like grooming and sexual assault. The only thing is you can tell it's violent from the cover (though it's not as gorey as the manga itself), so this would depend on how concerned your character is about his son seeing violence in fiction.
