I haven't seen the anime, but agreed that Mob Psycho 100's first volume is weak.It's pretty easy to see why it would be someone's pick for "Worst Manga" going by that volume alone. It's incoherent in its pacing and, yes, somewhat boring. Recently read the second volume, though, and it's an improvement over the first. |

What is with this list? Are they seriously trying to piss people off or is this supposed to be some kind of traditional joke for them?
Firstly, Bleach is over. I'm not sure what year they're currently living in but its 2019 and the series has been over for quite some time now. And lastly, Rising of the Shield Hero and Mob Psycho as Worst manga for anyone is completely absurd. I'm pretty sure I'm not in the minority there. |

Everyone already mentioned Mob, and maybe it’s unfair to say this when I’m basing my opinion on the anime but...if opinions can ever be considered “objectively wrong,” calling Mob the worst of anything comes close...
 But other than that and Bleach, there’s a lot to love on these lists. Witch Hat Atelier, for example, really is fantastic! I’d personally vote for Children of the Whales as the best YA ongoing series. I heard the anime didn’t do it justice, but the manga has gorgeous art and incredible world building—worth checking out for fantasy fans!
My favorite ongoing series right now also include Attack on Titan, To Your Eternity, and The Promised Neverland. I’m really surprised TPN wasn’t mentioned, actually. Moto Hagio is amazing and I can’t wait to check out The Poe Clan! (But I’m surprised no one mentioned The Rose of Versailles on that list) As for most wished for license, I have a hankering for a title that should also win an award for “Most Disserviced by its Anime Adaptation” 7SEEDS! |

They were trying to entertain an audience. Really, I find it hilarious that so many are taking this so wrongly. This was a PANEL DISCUSSION. We got the list, not the discussion. Granted- this is one of the reasons why this very forum bans list-only posts. You need context for understanding. |

Well clearly, I'm not "entertained" so that's all I'll have to say about that. What I'm more interested in is how they got their facts wrong and labeled Bleach as a continuing series. Were they also trying to "entertain" people with that? :p |

Guys, no need to act like stuck-up jerks just because the judges' tastes are different than yours. If you love Mob Psycho 100, great! But don't bash Rob for disliking it. How would you feel if someone bashed you for disliking a series?
Anyway, here's my list: Best New Manga for Kids/Teens - No pick Best New Manga for Grown-Ups - No pick Best Continuing Series for Kids/Teens - No pick Best Continuing Series for Grown-Ups - Pop Team Epic: Just like the anime, the manga is hilarious and random as heck! The 4-panel format is very digestible and the episodic format makes it incredibly easy to jump anywhere without having to go back read every single previous story in order to get "caught up". Most Anticipated New Manga - The untitled new series from Tobira Oda (source: 2019 Weekly Big Comic Spirits issue 10) Most Wanted (Unlicensed) Manga - Danchi Tomoo: It's unfortunate that this slice-of-life manga still hasn't been licensed. Sure it's really long (33 volumes) and kinda old (debuted in 2003), but it's worth a shot in some form. Why? Because the stories seem really interesting and more English-speaking manga fans should know about the series. And it feels really refreshing that this is a slice-of-life manga aimed at adults that's focused on a elementary school kid instead of a middle/high schooler. - KochiKame: This is my bonus pick. It's surprising that this manga (despite being Shonen Jump's longest-running manga ever) hasn't ever been picked up. The extremely long length (200 volumes) and the Japanese-centric nature of the series are the culprits, but why not at least try releasing it in "best of" collections and have cultural notes at the back of the book (people read the notes, right?) I read a couple chapters of the manga and I think at some Americans could get a kick out of it. - Punyupunyu Yusha Myamemyame: I'm cheating, this is my second bonus pick. This is so far the stupidest and craziest manga I've ever read (it makes Pop Team Epic look smarter in comparison)! It needs to get licensed so that Americans know this series exists! Underrated but Awesome Manga - GeGeGe no Kitaro: Even though it pretty much follows the same general plot in every story (the yokai of week is causing trouble, so Kitaro has to go stop it) and it's really old (1960s), the manga is really awesome! I'm not sure how Mizuki did it, but the stories feel so timeless. It's really informative too because you get to exposed to all sorts of yokai. |

Noooo, I'm talking about an ACTUAL audience. They were at Comic-con They were in an interactive panel. Panel members talking to each other, audience members probably offering questions. Rest assured that your displeasure was almost certainly expressed with a chorus of boos the moment it was uttered . And while I don't know the panel members too well, I'm sure sure someone assured Rob that it gets better. Just relax. |

(Disclaimer: I work for Kodansha.)
Best New Manga for Kids/Teens O Maidens in Your Savage Season (I love that this was on the list from Zac, but I disagree a bit with the characterization as "for grown-ups;" I think teens can relate to this series fine, given it's about puberty) Best New Manga for Grown-Ups Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey by Akiko Higashimura It's shocking this took so long to come out in English. Best Continuing Series for Kids/Teens The Promised Neverland -- Excellent, fleshed-out suspense plus a female shonen protagonist! I'm not a fan of the English localization, but it gets the job done. Best Continuing Series for Grown-Ups VINLAAAND SAAAGAAAAAAA And now for the Moto Hagio categories… Most Anticipated New Manga The Poe Clan Most Wanted (Unlicensed) Manga They Were Eleven Underrated but Awesome Manga I can never tell what "underrated" is supposed to mean… Gleipnir I guess? |

❤️ I'm not sure about omnibus form, though. Books that thick don't hold up well. I just read the first volume of Emanon a couple of weeks ago and was totally enthralled. It's handled brilliantly, right down to the translation, and it brought back memories of traveling as a young adult that I'd completely forgotten.[/b] |

Similar to ANNCAST used to slam "Heat Guy J" way back when, I guess "Rising of the Shield Hero" could become the next series to be used as a running gag on ANNCast.

@Twage
They Were Eleven by Moto Hagio was previously licensed and released by Viz. It came out in comic book form (flipped) in four issues as part of the "Viz Flower Comics" line in 1995. It was reissued in 1996 in the Graphic Novel Four Shojo Stories. All four issues only total about 125 pages so one or more of Hagio's short stories would likely have to be added to make a full graphic novel. |

I'm sorry but i'm extremely frustrated with this site. For you to make the picks of worse manga to include shield hero and seven deadly sins is a joke. If you made those picks in japan they would laugh you out of their cons. If you even bothered to fully read the manga or LN of shield hero which i doubt you did. You'll wouldn't have such terrible opinions or beliefs. I know at this point i'm just ranting because you'll probably won't even read it. But you still are ignorant or willfully ignorant for making those picks. Absolutely horrified in it.
