Which Version/Release of the manga would you give to a Kid?

Yo! I've been lurking around the forums for a while, and I've checked out most of the Discussions on the Different versions of the Manga, and I've been think of this question for sometime; Which version of the manga would you recommend for a child, let's say between the ages of 8-12? Would you go for one of the more censored releases?

It would depend on the age of the kid, the kids maturity level, and what that kid's parents/guardians allow the kid to see/read.

Perhaps the VizBig editions would work if you're specifically looking for censorship. Have you considered reading the manga with the children, provided they're still interested in reading assistance? That would be an easy way to gauge what they could handle while also giving everyone something fun to do with voice acting. :)

Psh, I ain't giving them jack. And if they bend a page? No, no, no, no, no. Only if I flip the pages for them!

lol I'm joking. Any Viz release. Probably the VizBigs. I say that because they would be in English, they're big, they cover a lot of content, they have some color, and they don't have naked drawn teenage girls. "Daddy you a pervert!" "I'm not! It's just part of the story! I didn't get them for that!" Gotta avoid that :wink:

If translated properly, the original uncensored manga would be fine except for the most sheltered of sheltered children.
