| New Poll - Best Seinen |
This here's the 3rd poll of the "Best" series! (More a popularity contest than anything though). Got one more to go after this...
If you really like seinen, I ask you to consider reading some of the suggested titles in this thread:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=13890
One interesting title that was suggested a few times is actually only a oneshot. For a short read that's good (to a lot of people), try out Hotel.
In case you were wondering about the runner-ups, here they are (in order):
Until Death Do Us Part
Gantz
Monster
Bitter Virgin
Black Lagoon
Josei
Next poll we're doing is for josei, so visit this thread here:

| TokyoPop Adds New .hack// and Warcraft/Starcraft Manga, Revives Other Series |
furiouspuppet writes:
On Wednesday afternoon (Sep 9, 2009), TokyoPop hosted their second "TokyoPop Insider" industry webcast to share what's new, what's coming soon, and what's going on at this Los Angeles-based manga publishing company. TokyoPop announced 10 new licensed and original manga titles for 2009 - 2010, including three new titles in the .hack// series and two new original graphic novels based on massively popular World of Warcraft / Starcraft games from Blizzard.
By Popular Demand, Seven Fan Favorites Return
After TokyoPop's restructuring in June 2008, several ongoing series went on hiatus, leaving many fans wondering when (or if!) the latest volumes of their favorite manga would be published.
In recent months, TokyoPop has been slowly adding these delayed titles back into their release schedule. Last month, they announced the return of fan favorites like Aria, V.B. Rose and Tactics. Now seven more titles are due back from limbo land in mid-2010. They are:
* Suppli Volume 4 by OKAZAKI Mari
* Pick of the Litter Volume 5 by SUDA Yuriko
* Monochrome Factor Volume 5 by SORANO Kairi
* Never Give Up! Volume 9 by MUTOU Hiromu
* Nosatsu Junkie Volume 7 by FUKUYAMA Ryoko
* Satisfaction Guaranteed Volume 8 by SAENAGI Ryou
* King of Hell Volume 23 by Ra In-Soo and KIM Jae-Hwan
As TokyoPop Editor Lillian Lillian Diaz-Przybyl explained it, "We work so far in advance, it'll be at least mid-2010 until these books can come out. But this is just the beginning of titles that we'll be bringing back."

| New Poll - Best Shoujo |
If you haven't noticed, this IS a popularity contest.
This here is poll number 2 of our series of "Best" polls! This time around, we got shoujo! Thank you to the 150 people who gave shoujo series suggestions that deserve to be named the best. And curse those people whose posts that I deleted because they didn't follow my rules. Again, if your favorite series isn't up there, sucks for you. You may think it's the best, but not everyone else thinks the same way. Also again, this poll is not up for discussion on our forums. By the way, some great titles that didn't make the top 5 were suggested, so if you're an avid shoujo reader, I really do recommend you check out the other series in this thread:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=13775
As an interesting side note, I only haven't read Mars. And I know which series will win without even doing this poll...
I would also like to thank the many people who for the first time made a post on our forums just to make some suggestions~
In case you were wondering, the five runner-ups are as follows (in this order):
Hana Yori Dango
Koukou Debut
Basara
Beast Master
Cat Street
If you're wondering how a particular series did, just PM me.
For the next poll, we're doing seinen series. Make your suggestions here:

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Best Shounen
Choices:
One Piece - votes: 4138 (28.5%)
Fullmetal Alchemist - votes: 3455 (23.8%)
Death Note - votes: 2917 (20.1%)
Great Teacher Onizuka - votes: 2180 (15%)
Claymore - votes: 1812 (12.5%)
There were 14502 total votes.
The poll ended: September 5th 2009
And we got a winner! One Piece it is! Notice that Naruto and Bleach aren't up there...
As an interesting side note (again), Claymore is the highest rated series out of all those choices, yet it didn't garner as many votes |

| New Poll - Best Shounen |
This is the first poll of our new series of "Best" polls. If you don't like the choices, suck it up. No one is forcing you to vote. And it's probably your own fault for not giving a suggestion in the first place (as only about 60 people gave suggestions). Oh, and this poll is not up for discussion (on the forums) for the fear of bashing/flaming.
If you're wondering how we chose the 5 titles in the official poll, look here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=13659
For our next poll, we will be having the best shoujo! If you have a favorite shoujo series, you'd better make your suggestion here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=13775
(And if you don't follow the directions exactly, may God have mercy on you, because I won't)
Previous Poll Results:
Question: Do you think a mangaka should have multiple projects or only focus on one?
Choices:
The more the better - votes: 559 (4.6%)
As long as what I'm reading doesn't suffer as a result - votes: 8369 (69.1%)
Only one at a time! - votes: 2109 (17.4%)
Doesn't matter to me - votes: 1067 (8.8%)
There were 12104 total votes.
The poll ended: August 29th 2009
We all knew who would win (since it's the most neutral option), but a good amount still prefer having an author work on one series at a time |
