Anyone with pre teen/almost teen boys that are into Manga books?

Looking for a new series of Manga books for my boys. They like One piece, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist and Naruto. Were into Dragonball Z when they were younger.

I want to get some new books for birthdays coming up but all the books that I can see in Waterstones seem to be more aimed at girls and wouldn't go down well at this age :)

Thanks for any recommendations.

I'm not sure if these will fit the bill, but manga Sahkespeare and Feynman have both gone down well here.

Also, I saw The Hobbit, and loads of Marvel superhero ones in a Waterstones recently.

DH is a massive manga fan. He said he would recommend bleach and fairy tail

Great Thank you both - I'll look into those. I also posted this in teens and was recommended Bleach there too so I have already ordered the first couple of those but I am always looking for ideas so now have a few others thanks to your helpful selves. :)

Ooh those all look good, this is going to get expensive. I think I'd definitely get the Manga version of any shakespear they have to do for school to give a fresh perspective to it. and both the Fairy tail and that book about Feynman look very interesting.

Thanks again!
