FMPnovel1.jpegI would like to take to recommend Full Metal Panic; Fighting Boy Meets Girl to librarians who are desperate to get junior high boys to read a prose novel. For the unfamiliar, this “light novel” is an adventure story about Sousuke, an international mercenary soldier ordered to go undercover in a Japanese high school to protect a girl named Kaname. (Think 21 Jump Street but with robots and hilarious misunderstandings.) I’d like to point out to junior high boys that this book looks really thick, like you’re reading a “real” book. However, there are a lot of gaps for bullet-hole artwork between sections and it’s in a pretty big font with about 1.5 line spacing, so it doesn’t really take that long to read. You could put a book jacket on it to cover the anime art so adults won’t accuse you of reading “literary trash” - or you could leave the book jacket off so kids on the bus make fun of you less for being a bookworm. If I were a discerning junior high bully, I would punch harder the nerdier the book you were reading. Here’s a scale, from least likely to get punched to most likely: I haven’t been in Junior High for15 years, so 11 to 13-year-olds are encouraged to correct me on this theory. Full Metal Panic has been available in the U.S. in anime form for several years. The original FMP anime series (24 episodes) features a more serious storyline with some comical moments, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (12 episodes) is a series of stand-alone episodes regarded by fans as comedy gold and Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid (about 13 episodes) is a continuation of the original, more dramatic series. Two different Full Metal Panic manga series have been published stateside by ADV Manga; but in this case the manga is not the original source material for the anime. As Gatou explains in the afterward of Full Metal Panic; Fighting Boy Meets Girl, FMP began as a series of comedic short stories “about everyday life” running in Dragon Magazine in Japan in 1998. FuMoFu likely takes from these original shorts, while the first FMP anime has the more serious tone of this novel. As is often the case, here in North American we got the FMP franchise in a strange order; Anime, then manga, and now the novels. In Japan it started with short stories, followed by manga, then the anime.
