Wow. I'm so behind the times that this is the first time I've learned that ONE has had a new manga for 3 years now and that we literally have an Alexander the Great Vinland Saga equivalent. Also, Nezumi, Windbreaker and Under Ninja are really that highly regarded by critics?

Kagurabachi should've won in the Shounen category, in my opinion. Anyway, congrats to the winners.

My Goat ONE really made 3 (possibly 4) successful manga in a row, something not many have done

Versus didn't really stand out for me, it was really chaotic and all around the place, I could barley remember one name.

Might be a skill issue who knows

@ryzxgum I heard that Hana is a very good manga, but we still have half a season to wait before it premieres. Although, unlike Kashiwagi, we don't have to worry about the studio.
