Kino's Journey is the first of eight manga about Kino, a twelve year old girl, on a Gulliver's Travels adventure with her "anthropomorphic" motorcycle, roaming the world and coming to grips with questions of culture, and not infrequently, violence. Recommended for philosophers of all ages, though the world is often a harsh place which this manga does not seek to glamorize.
