 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 Series with <9 volumes released overseas which were not featured in the previous year will take priority for the main and unique lists.
Should be anime (optional) Best for beginners (optional) Unique art/story (optional) Deadline: Jan 13, 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-)✧ |

| Awesome! I enjoyed this a lot last year. Looking forward to seeing the final list — I definitely have a few I'd love to recommend. Kineta said: At least one volume of the manga was published overseas in 2024. I think this should say 2023~ |

Sorry but I don’t read
| @RED-clover12 I once said that too, glad I changed my mind and gave them a chance. Blame! and Biomega are awesome. |
| Can't wait! |
 |
| And once again I shall do my best to try to get Sekai de Ichiban Oppai ga Suki! on this list since it clearly is the best among the eligible series. |

| @TheTenchiUchiha I also couldn't get through - I'm not sure the cause, but my phone browser would show the site for a moment before crashing. For me, switching to my laptop worked. Perhaps it's just not compatible with some phones or browsers? |

| Damn bro... I don't even have one full page on "my list". |

 -Tohka is better than Kurumi. You can't change my mind. |

| @Rinarin Yep, you did. Thanks! |
| On the nominate page itself, I understood it as the optional ones don't need to be of 2023. Or did any nomination in fact need to be exclusively with the first criteria of "At least one volume of the manga was published overseas in 2023." ... basically whatever is publishing or releasing that's licensed. If so, I'd like to fix my redo my submission since there are two other Manga I could include that apply. |

I'm so done with this. I've tried to nominate manga 3 times now; and each time I get halfway through, the browser decides that it's been too long since I've looked at the tab and reloads the page, and I lose everything that I just spent so long writing. Not exactly anyone's fault, I'm just very frustrated and needed to voice it.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

| @ShadyRuby Sorry to hear you're having troubles with the jotform. You can send me your nominations text via PM and I can add it to our spreadsheet. |

| @waalex11 Sorry, I didn't quite understand your message. Yes, all manga need to have "At least one volume of the manga was published overseas in 2023." This can also be the digital equivalent (e.g. simulpub) and doesn't need to be a physical volume. If you'd like to edit your submission, you can send me a PM o/ |

| @Kineta My bad, I could have formulated and explained that in simpler ways to be more comprehensible. I meant that I misunderstood the optional picks as not needing to be manga (volumes) that was published in 2023. I'll leave you a PM. |
| EDIT: Nevermind, someone was spamming the forum regarding personal information. Just wondering what that was about... |

| Suggested 2 titles, I'm excited! Just not sure how does it work if the title was already mentioned in the previous years (I tried to include new series). Can it still be mentioned in this year's list again? |

Does this end in a final list that we can see? This sounds like a fun way to get new manga for my PTR list!
| @BrettWatchesTV Should become a stack like last year's. |

| Done! |

| More people have to learn about the masterpiece that is Kagurabachi. No joke. I nominated it with serious reasons. |
 This is a cartoon site, you clown. Elitism in general is cringe enough already. Let people enjoy stuff. Reminder to stay hydrated and read Umineko No Naku Koro Ni |
| Ugh, I accidentally submitted the form too quickly, and forgot to add a couple nominations that I really wanted to, and now I can't go back and add them. 🙃 Anyways, if you're reading this, I might as well tell you my recommendations, which were: Mieruko-chan, Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, SHY, Maoujo de Oyasumi, "Haite Kudesai, Takamine-san!", and the two I forgot to submit, which were Otome Kaiju Caramelizer and Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete. Also, you should read Fujimi Lovers, Bokura no Kiseki, and "Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku", which weren't eligible. |
| Goes to show how many great mangas are still not released outside Japan: River End Cafe Subaru to Suu-san Sugar Dark: Umerareta Yami to Shoujo Ookumo-chan Flashback Mujina into the Deep Asako Kotoshi no Mitsuishi-san wa Dokoka Okashii Heiwa no Kuni no Shimazaki e If some editors see that, please take a look at this list and release them in Europe either in English or French! |
Reply to Nero_Nan
Manga that should be on the list are: Sensei, Kongetsu Dou Desu ka, Blooming Love, Kininatteru Hito ga Otoko ja Nakatta and Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku.
Nero_Nan said: Blooming Love I just nominated it, a very nice romance with decent characters, I like it a lot. |
