Y-Yotsubato didn't make it? D:
And neither did GTO?
T______________T

Fine, my vote goes to Horimiya then. >____>;

As Rurouni Kenshin isn´t on the list i will go with the only other 10/10 on the list Fullmetal Alchemist but i expect Attack on Titan to win.
(I hope that the listed Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Horimiya and Pandora Hearts will show how fluid or nonsensical demographics are as most assume that these are girls manga.)

The time of GTO and Yotsubato is over but i expected Death Note to just make the cut and i disagree with One Piece´s exclusion even if i just dropped it after 14 years.

Although FMA2003 is my favorite anime, I'm not that fond of the original work ( and the FMAB either ). Same thing with HxH, the 1999 anime being my second favorite, unlike the manga.

I'm unsure what's a shounen or not and I don't really have a defined list, but I'd say Kekkaishi is my favorite along with Pandora Hearts which I voted for.

I don't believe Shingeki no Kyojin will win - although, it might if it was another website -, but it seems that FMA really is popular.

As a non-Shounen reader, the only one that I have any interest in is Attack on Titan.

By the way, is One Piece really that good? I know it isn't as popular in Japan as it once was.

where's boku no hero academia?
that thing has such strong potential to be number one and its not slowing down yet.

on this list though, fullmetal alchemist, as it did not overstretch itself like everything else seems to.

Well....Fullmetal Alchemist will most likely win...But, Attack On Titans have some chance as well.
lambchopsil, bro, though this poll is based on people's choice/nomination, I think it would've been great if you hadn't mixed the ongoing and complete ones.
I mean FMA is winning because of some pros, which some of the other Mangas' on the list don't have. Being a "Complete" one is one of those reasons.

i can't decide, FMA is escellent but Gintama made/make me laugh to death, HxH is in my tops too.
crap, well my vote goes to Gintama.
This list was made of nminated series there is no preference between new and old.

Voted for Alchemist, but feel kinda bad about it. Because it is not one of my favorite shounens, even if you exclude One Piece (which is one of my favorites)
Alchemist is the one that I like more from the list, but i voted 9.8/10 for it. 10/10 shounens for are the following (in not particular order, I even excluded seinens, because I know the difference):

Full Metal Panic!
GE
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai
Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
To Love-Ru
Hayate no Gotoku!
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha
One Piece (I know that it "besides One Piece" but whatever)
Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Kinsho Mokuroku
Tower of God
Witch Hunter
Ef - A Fairy Tale of the Two
Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi
Pastel

Though i do admit that I didn't even know about Horimiya before this poll started. And judging by description I might actually like this manga, so I will try it.

Wow, there are actually some great series here. I can't decide which one to vote for! HunterxHunter is great, so is PH, Shingeki no Kyoujin, FMA and Kuroshitsuji... Though I guess the last one can be excluded because I can't stand Ciel, his girl, or practically any of the characters except for Agni and his prince, and really read the story only for Sebastian and the mysteries. And I won't got for FMA because most people will vote for it, no need to jump on that bandwagon.

But from PH, HxH, and SnK... Agghhh, I'll decide the day before the poll ends, like I always do when there's a tough choice

Pity about Yotsubato, DN and Barakamon, though.

Black Butler and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun are shounen manga? I very much disagree with that. Both feel like made to appeal to women as the primary demographic but that's just my opinion. I can see them as appealing equally to both genders at older demographics

World Trigger and Toriko didn't make the cut, even if they're so good recently. :3

"None of the above" option is missing.

All this non-shounen manga in "Best Shounen" poll. Ez Alchemist win.

I’m very surprised to see Nozaki-kun, Black Butler and Horimiya here, interesting that so many people actually voted for them. Voting for Hiatus x Hiatus, can’t remember how often I’ve read the chimera ant arc when it was still ongoing.

My real favourite would have been Kubera, though you can’t really tag it as "Shounen".

Err none of the above?

For a unique shounen experience try Hikaru no Go!

Voted for Hunter x Hunter. <3
Started it last year and I'm still obsessed.

Neither read, nor have any interest in any of these titles, so meh.

Yeah, I don't really read shounen, so I voted for the only one I read (Naruto) ... does that count? Maybe I shouldn't have voted.

I voted for Fullmetal Alchemist, which is great, but I'm partial to some older titles. Flame of Recca in particular was rather excellent, as was Yu Yu Hakusho. I just finished a re-read of Recca last week, and I was surprised at just how much the newer shounen titles steal from it. I hadn't remembered it well enough from the first time around I guess.

Fullmetal Alchemist~!

This is what made me really like the Shounen genre as a female. I loved Dragon Ball but FMA completely won me over. One of my all time favorites!

They're all decent, I suppose. Some has glaring weakness, whether in background, story progression, or story telling style. Not that I mean one style is inferior to other, but more to inconsistency.. I hope voters are well aware of each choice positive and negatives and not blinded by their own favouritism. But hey, its not like this vote has some authority. If it is, more suggestion will come in, and preliminary stage will take place before this one and only decisive vote.

FMA will win easily, and with merit. It might be the only manga whose chapters never disappointed me, not even once. It has good drawings, interesting characters and story, and a writing style that could catch the interest of all demographics. One of the very few manga that could compete with great books.
I love how people decide that a work can't be put in a certain demographic simply because they don't find it appealing. I, as a guy, loved Pandora Hearts, and I would have voted for it hadn't FMA be there. I'd love to see more shounen like that one. On the other hand, I hate with passion all the manga that base themselves on big breasts and harems, but that doesn't mean I think they're not shounen or seinen. People have different tastes, and you're bound to find works appealing to all the large spectrum of the audience. Besides, demographics are just meant as a way for publishers to classify manga and decide on which magazine they would probably sell more. You seldom hear of demographics about books. I dare say that often the most classifiable works are those of low quality.

No question and no doubt. My vote goes to FMA v

I'm surprised that Mahou Tsukai no Yome was actually close to being one of the top ten even though I am someone who nominated it.

Anyway, totally going for FMA and am fairly certain FMA will win since One Piece is out. I mean when you search all manga/manhua/manwha/etc on MU and set it by rating FMA is shown as top manga with over 3000 votes.

Pfft, Pandora Hearts, hands down, period. I consider it a literary classic of the 21st century. (Now I just need someone to canonize it. ) But seriously, I haven't read a piece of literature maybe ever that's touched me quite like this series has. An absolute masterpiece.

That being said, I have absolutely no objections to FMA heading the poll. It's a masterpiece in its own right as well, and while I don't think it's quite as well done as Pandora Hearts, it's a beautiful work of art in itself and a must-read for anyone who even remotely considers themself a learned reader.

I'm a little surprised at some of the flimsier shounens that were nominated, though I suppose I shouldn't be. I mean, Death Note? I can see being entertained by it for cheap thrills, but it's overall pretty meritless and has little substance. This poll is for BEST shounen, not favorite, and I feel like oftentimes, people can't distinguish between the two. Death Note's got nothing on the psychological scale of FMA, in any case, and putting it on the same level as it is... Well, that's just my (snotty) opinion, at least.

(Yes, I DO have a vendetta against Death Note! SO MUCH WASTED POTENTIAL!! -sob- xP)

Edit: @train93, I totally agree with everything you said about demographic! My pet peeve is when people are looking for manga and say things like, "I don't read shoujo," or whatever, like all shoujos are about whiny girls wanting boyfriends and falling in love. Because then lovely series like Natsume Yuujinchou get passed over, even though it's nothing like a "conventional" shoujo, or the shoujo stereotype. I understand if someone has a particular genre that doesn't interest or engage them, but judging based on demographic is just silly.

No Barakamon ToT, even if I haven't been able to do much of the reading itself

other smaller tears on the named one are HQ, DN and D gray man

FMA vote even if I also like a lot hiatus x hiatus, magi and PH

Slam Dunk didn't make the cut?! Children nowadays.. sigh~

In my humble opinion, Hunter x Hunter is definitely one of the best shounen(s) that would outrun O.P anyday, if the manga hasn't gone to hiatus all the time. Yoshihiro Togashi, without a doubt, able to create more complex/imaginative story lines compared to "lets hop on every single islands/towns" to expand our horizon / social networking / fighting capability agendas..

FMA is okay, but, too many drama & the not-so-amusing humorous parts didn't entertain me much.

So sad that Claymore didn't make it in this time around. It would have been the clear pick for me, but now I have to choose between AoT and FMA... Probably the former, because the latter has had an eight year head start.

the choice seems a bit mixed, maybe placing a time range of when it's first published will make it more fairer. due to generation difference.

I voted for Attack on Titan. Although I do like FMA, and Horimiya, they didn't get me into this completely obsessive phase where I NEED to read/watch everything. It's what got me into reading SnK DJs >.> Just so I could get more of a fix... yeah fix seems like a right word.

I actually bothered to look up what the bestselling comics of all time are to see how One Piece (and Dragon Ball senpai) would fare and here they are.
It´s "only" No.4 but the top 3 of Superman (The sales have been down for the last 15 years despite being the winner), Batman ( ) and Spider-Man (Can i have my marriage back as "Renew Your Vows" was a bestseller) are from 1938, 1939 and 1962 while One Piece started in 1997. Only the 2 manga and Tintin represent one coherent vision too and One Piece also set another Guinness World Record this year.
To suggest a decline is to laught into the face of comic book publishing itslelf as the top 3 have been rebooted, renumbered and whatnot but Luffy sails on. Sadly.
I am not sure how the series can ever end as it became the main support pillar for Shueisha + Toei and i wonder how the inevitable Hollywood version will look like...

Ack I'm torn. Also didn't know Horimiya was shounen. Always thought it was Seinen.
