 Annual manga lists, such as the "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" rankings and Manga Taisho Award, are a great way to find new manga to read. There is only one problem: many of the titles which appear in these lists have yet to be licensed overseas (and aren't guaranteed to ever be). "You Should Read This Manga" aims to create an annual manga discovery list for the international fan. Passionate manga readers—MAL members, bookstore employees, and more—can nominate any title that has recently been licensed and released outside Japan. While this doesn't guarantee all finalist manga will be available in every region, it greatly increases the probability for it to be licensed (now or in the future). Nomination Criteria
Should be anime (optional) Best for beginners (optional) Unique art/story (optional) Deadline: Feb 27, 7pm PST Not sure which manga to nominate? We compiled a non-exhaustive list of eligible titles, which can be found here: Eligible Manga List  Use the "My List" filter on Desktop to see which manga you're currently reading or have completed. Titles do not need to be included on this list to be nominated. As long as they meet the above criteria, please send them to us anyway! Missing manga can also be reported here. We're looking forward to seeing your nominations! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ |

There is only one problem: many of the titles which appear in these lists have yet to be licensed overseas (and aren't guaranteed to ever be). This is a great idea and I hope it garners enough participation—I may mainly read completed series, but there's still some in mind I'd love to recommend!"You Should Read This Manga" aims to create an annual manga discovery list for the international fan.

Definitely happy to see Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost and Prince Freya (especially the former) made it into the list for sure. |

| My vote goes for Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku. Seriously tho, I didn't think i would enjoy a high school romance this much. Edit: I guess I can't nominate this one, pretty sad. At least I can still vote for Tongari Boushi no Atelier |

  |
| Well, isn't it a great, great idea, I always have some recs hidden up my sleeve. |
 |
| I'm very delighted that there's a Manga event. Anyway, I've reported some missing titles, hopefully they will be added soon. |
| Submitted my nominations! |
| lool i dont read manga so much but i have some choices hahaah |
 |
| Does a Manga need to be physically published to be eligible? Last year the global MangaUP! app launched which led to a lot of manga getting a global release through that app only, and many don't have a physical release. |

Seriously tho, I didn't think i would enjoy a high school romance this much. Calabre006 said: Nope, a digital release is OK! Many titles are unfortunately locked in digital land (looks at Chihayafuru) so we didn't want to confine it to physical only.Does a Manga need to be physically published to be eligible?

| Ok done! In the end I wrote even more than I originally had in mind, but it all felt good to give these manga some credit where it's due :) |
 Pls don't write animeS or mangaS >.< // + <50 man(g/hw/hu)a not in MAL. // Join my >manga club< here! |
| My vote goes to Goodbye, Eri. Definitely a sad one but really good nonetheless. |
| I've definitely taken a step back from catching up on current manga, let alone ones published in 2022. Glad to see Kuroshitsuji is on there tho! The story/art style has progressed so beautifully and happy to recommend it. |
| desu desu binches |
| What's the point of limiting it only to published overseas? It will be just more of the same, since it went through licensing filter already. You're much more likely to find something interesting among fan translated series. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Does it matter if I put the title in English or romaji? Is there a preference? |
Lets Go i have more recommendation 🥳 |
 |
| Done ✅ Submitted |
|
| [ltr][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]I didn't read much manga to be nominated anyway[/color][/ltr] |
 |
| If Ranma 1/2 is eligible I will gladly nominate it. |
 |
| I recommend “Bokura no Kiseki”. It is officially released and translated into few languages: (Our Miracle) german publisher: Egmont Manga, (Nasz cud) polish puplisher: Waneko , (Il Nostro Miracolo) italian publisher: Flashbook Edizioni |

| i have some recommendation (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ eventhough i didnt read much~ anyway enjoy |
| Although I am not that huge of a manga reader, this "event" will be exciting as I do have a couple that I could recommend |
  |
| rather than a problem, the fact that many of the titles which appear in these lists have yet to be licensed overseas (and aren't guaranteed to ever be) is a blessing in disguise. personally i harbor ill will when a fanscanlated manga from decades ago that you've already read gets officially published in english so you feel ocdbligated to reread the new version from the very beginning which in essence disrespectfully invalidates your initial accomplishment and time investment of having completed a series. currently i'm in such predicament with close to 30 titles as of writing now. for the record i even ordered the complete elfen lied and gantz omnibus editions to see how the professional vs amateur tls compare but it gets quite tiresome to keep backtrack of all the changes. however it's an entirely different case if raws are involved. because of this very reason, i'd like to nominate akuma no memumemu-chan |
 |
| The fact it has to be published overseas doesn't really make sense, since if the series is getting picked up for an international release means it already has an established public, we want to know hidden gems that wouldn't otherwise be nominated because they're buried and we're counting on mal friends to recommend them to us. |
 |
| I nominate Akuma no Memumemu-chan. As a former mango elitist I understand the struggle of wanting to read mango's in their proper form. But they as much as anime from my experience are neglected and bombarded to hell by "false fans" and even so are well forgotten overtime and buried. May the gods be in ya'lls favor. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This should be fun. |
| for some reason i cant enter my username on the last page...it keeps flagging it as missing, but i cant type in the box at all |
