The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association, has named Kitaji Ishikawa's live-action Love*Com the Movie and Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away fantasy anime film among its "2009 Fabulous Films for Young Adults" this week. The Love*Com film adapts Aya Nakahara's romantic comedy manga of the same name. This list, like the other lists of recommendations that YALSA drafts, is presented annually at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. The theme of this year's list of 16 films is "Coming of Age Around the World." YALSA composes the list to identify "a body of films relating to a theme that will appeal to young adults ages 12-18."

Thank you Anime News Network...
