I nominate Ciel ~ Last Autumn Story~ for Best Sunjeong Manhwa. It defies the limits of the genre/demographic and is such a unique and cherishable manhwa.

I nominate Anne VS Pray from Knight Run. Everything is at stake in this epic, action-filled battle. See here for a piece of the action: (It's a largely action-filled chapter with little dialogue) http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=64997&no=71&weekday=sat

I nominate Kubera ~one last god~ for Best Fantasy. When was the last time you saw a fantasy series using Indian/Hindi mythology as its motif? This series is like a breath of fresh air among dozens of manga/manhwa/light novels/fantasy novels that overused the medieval European fantasy setting...

I nominate Welcome to Room 305! for Best Slice of Life. It is a sitcom-esque webtoon about a college freshman, his roommate, and their acquaintances, with lively characters and a good sense of humor. What is notable about this cartoon is that it educates the audience about ordinary people who...

I nominate Ybienne from Ciel ~the last autumn story~ for Best Female Character. She is intelligent, beautiful, witty, and even street-smart, but her most definitive trait is her nihilism. Her burden is that she does not know why she is alive, without any will to live, without anything to live...

I nominate Pink Lady Classic for best artwork. Both Pink Lady and Pink Lady Classic feature clean pastel tone artwork that matches the atmosphere of the work very well. It also has subtle parodies and homages to famous paintings in Western Art history that blends well with the subject matter...

Re: Bakuman 158 Discussion / 159 Predictions smartphones! And thus fiction reflects reality... :D

Love the updates! Thanks for posting all the images. Just one error however: the Nekomata under Kekkaishi is not from Kekkaishi but in fact from Ao no Exorcist. ;) Here's a pair of tengu from Hyakki Yakou shou (they're not really crows, but the same species as the author's pet birds)...

Nice! I knew shin megami tensei had a few, but I didn't know that they even had the mirror. XD I did some quick searches for a few of them and added links in my post. I'll try to find more/better images when I can... but I can't add my own images in the near foreseeable future.

I don't have the time to find/link/post all the images right now, but this is definitely a fun topic! Here's a few off the top of my head: I feel that there should be more examples in Shaman King, as well as in various CLAMP manga. There's also Hyakki Yakoushou and Natsume Yuuinchou, both of...

I think I came across it around chapter 12. The title piqued my interest, and then perhaps the summary did as well. I remember thinking, "there's tons of half-blooded sons and sons of somebody important, mountains of characters with parent issues... but a grandson? now that's kinda fresh! The...

Re: One Piece 574 Spoiler Discussion Utterly amazed. Awed. Epic. Gripping. To have a character die for the first time ever during the timeline of the main story (in almost 60 volumes, the only death so far had been that of Gold Roger in the first page of the first chapter- every other 'dead'...

Re: Nurarihyon no Mago by Shiibashi Hiroshi 13th- developed character others- not developed characters. Didn't have time to draw/ come up with different characteristics. :P Besides, the author makes it perfectly clear that none of the others were as talented as the 13th, so they're pretty much...

Re: Nurarihyon no Mago by Shiibashi Hiroshi Yes, Kappa! >.<~ I also find Natto-Kozou's muscular physique quite amusing. Looking forward to Reira vs. Tsurara, and also how zashiki-warashi's powers will be manifested in this manga. :D

Re: Nurarihyon no Mago by Shiibashi Hiroshi lol >.< He's been everywhere, I'm sure you've seen him loads of times. He's just not very 'visible'... and no lines (spoken parts) by him as far as I remember. Here's my favorite page that has him in it...
