Recs if you like Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

Orphan Fantasy Fiction™. This list isn't about found family, it's about kids living independently/unsupervised and taking care of themselves.

I can’t read Japanese fiction in their original language, only translated so I guess aim at the mercy of translators and their interpretation of these works.
