Congrats. Glad to see Sidonia in there.
Never heard of Nigeru wa Haji daga Yaku ni Tatsu before but the synopsis sounds interesting.
And this is Josei yet it won the Shoujo award?

What do you mean? It's listed as Josei on other sites as well.
And you simply have to read the synopsis to know it's josei.

The shoujo awards aren't exclusive to the shoujo magazines. As long as the series is from a Kodansha magazine that is targeted to the female audience, then I think it can win the shoujo category.

For example -
Shitsuren Chocolatier won the 36th annual award
Chihayafuru won the 35th annual award
Kuragehime won the 34th annual award

I hope this clears it up. :)

I guess I should check out the Sidonia manga. Wow, a manga that's been published for over 30 years? That's pretty impressive…

And you simply have to read the synopsis to know it's josei.

Kiss is a josei magazine, hence the series is josei—that's how the manga DB mods label series.

Congratulation for Nanatsu. YES for Sinodia. I love the anime.

These are all the real and truly OBJECTIVELY good manga.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Doesn't it have the wonky 3DCG characters? Not so keen on that.

Why would Hunter x Hunter win? Togashi hasn't released a chapter in almost a year.

Also, none of those manga are 'craps.' They are good manga and deserve the awards.

Not really.A lot of companies award thier employee in Japan and a lot of publishing companies award their novel/manga/magazines etc to encourage people.
