When I purchased some for my high school, I sat with a student who was a HUGE manga fan and we talked through what would be appropriate for our collection.  He helped me decide what I should/shouldn't buy.

Following this as well.  I have found it difficult to find reliable sites that provide reviews for my age groups (grades 5 and 6).

Hi folks:
Has anyone found a reliable source for rating manga series?

I know some are "spicier" than others (as the young folk say).  Without reading a 42 book series, is there a site that might breakdown what exactly it is I'm committing myself to?

Thanks,
Matt
