15 of the Best Coming-Of-Age Manga

"Growing up, finding yourself, learning what role you want to play in the world — it's a process I wouldn't exactly want to relive in the full intensity of when it happened, but it's certainly also a precious phase of life that I treasure. I definitely don't seem to be alone in this opinion, since coming-of-age stories remain universally and perpetually popular. And they're especially popular in manga. The best coming-of-age manga capture this time in all its beauty and emotion and drama with earnest stories and thoughtful illustrations, demonstrating so well the strength and value of the medium."
