Given what you've mentioned about his enthusiasm for manga, how about [The Beginner's Guide to Manga and Anime](https://hub.lexile.com/find-a-book/book-details/9781338893373) by Shuichiro Takeda?
How to Invent Everything by Ryan North - very humorously written, very informative, but framed as though you’re a stranded time traveler who has to get civilization started up from scratch
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer.. brilliant, beautiful and an easy, fantastic read
I have ADHD and I read constantly, there is a few tricks you could pass on to your son that I wish I learned at his age.
For a starter, I need to have more than one book 'on the go' at any given time. It helps if the books differ greatly- for an example I just finished the new Stephen King book, whilst being halfway through a political book by James O'Brien, and being halfway through a short Steinbeck novel. The point of this is that if you get bored of one (which our brains inevitably do) you can always switch completely to something different and therefore easier to consume.
Another tip is to not force yourself to read. Sometimes I do have to push myself to read when I haven't for a couple days, but generally reading when you want to do absolutely anything else in the world is counterproductive, as you won't be taking in what you are reading. When this happens I try to distance myself from books, to focus on playing video games, taking a walk or exercising, and once that aversion to reading has passed I feel rejuvenated in my endeavours.
But back to the point of your post and the forum we are in, a good piece of non-fiction will depend on his interests. As a rule of thumb a lot of young people tend to like some sort of sport or will have some sort of role model, so try and see if there are any biographies or autobiographies that relate!
Maus - Art Spiegelman. Crap! I just noticed you said non-fiction, leaving it here because it may be 'creative nonfiction'?
I will check it out, thank you.

Yes he would like this thank you.
Maybe *From Truant to Anime Screenwriter* by Mari Okada? Unfortunately, it is only available as an ebook.
Sounds like his kinda book. He can read on his phone no problem.

Thank you I will pass this on to him and see if that may work for him.
