I'm sightly sad that Usotsuki! Gokuo-kun has still not been added to MAL, although it is published in Corocoro-Magazine. Also, it is actually a very good manga.

Woot, really elated to see HQ up there! Manga has been stellar and the anime has also done a phenomenal job. And the first volume is set to be released in English by Viz this upcoming summer too. ^^

I'm so happy for Sunny, Matsumoto really deserve it. I'm currently reading the Viz version and is awesome, the edition is beautiful, it totally worth.

This serves as a good reminder that I need to read more Matsumoto. Only seen both anime adaptations of his works and GoGo Monster.

Sunny,nice.

Now if only scanlations for it would finish...

They won't. Because it's liscensed by Viz.

Glad Haikyuu!! is getting recognition, I don't even like sports that much but Haikyuu is such a great manga/anime.

Jan 21, 2016 7:50 PM by dropsofjupiters

It's a good list.

I wonder why one piece and naruto have never won the award :(

what kind of a category is 'Children'? x-x?

The same as Shounen and Shoujo.

Children -> Kodomo

Young Boys and Girls -> Shounen and Shoujo

Young Adult Boys and Girls -> Seinen and Josei

All of them have Magazines specialized to that Demography.

Example of a Kodomo Magazine is Sakyou Jump: http://www.kanzentai.com/uploads/saikyo_jump-02-lg.png

What you should be asking is what is "General" category!

Time for me to do some reading. :-)

Jan 21, 2016 5:41 PM by Demi_V

Yes Haikyuu!!! Even though I'm not actually reading the manga, I love the anime so this makes me happy.
