Best Manga of 2011

[Darjaille]

I'm supporting Naruto. The most enjoyable one this year for me.

 

[miotara]

I'm nominating Hunter x Hunter.
The hiatus ended just few months ago but the series made one hell of a comeback. It's been exciting ever since it restarted and let's not forget the heads up to the author who at long last decided to go over 20 chapters in a row since 5 or 6 years ago, or maybe even more, lost count

we're still deciding on what to do with the tie breakers, and I'm seeing if I can include your "votes"-nominations or not... as they are late...*

*we do have time zone differences, so maybe we'll include your "votes"-nominations... but we may not, so I'm not sure yet if we'll allow them or not.

(I'll get back to you guys/girls, as soon as I can - as soon as we decide on what to do)[/mod]

[mod=HegemonKhan]There's a Poll up for Breaking the Tie (see OP), so go vote in the poll![/mod]

 

[amataresu]

I vote for One Piece
Its my most favourite Manga. I started reading Manga with Naruto then Bleach, then Dragon ball and the OP, but OP has taken a place in my heart with all the humour and fun.
All of the characters are stupid enough to put a smile on our faces no matter how many time we have read it.

Final vote starts only after the break tie

And as good as one piece is, it does not deserve the 2011 award. When one arc disapoints so many readers, he shouldn't have been in the nominees in the first place

 

[dr.mohd.arbash]

I'm supporting Naruto..

 

[HegemonKhan]

As K-dom already said,

[mod=HegemonKhan]Sorry, but the "voting" for the 5 nominations has ended, EXCEPT for the last nominations, the Tie Breaking, which is done via the Poll at the top. After, we've got our last nomination via the poll tie breaker, then we'll do the REAL-FINAL voting amongst the 5 nominations for the Winner of the Award of Best Manga of 2011. The poll should end in 3 days, which should be on Friday, I believe. You may of course post your comments here, but no votes within your posts will be counted, until the real voting starts up after we get these tie breakers done. So, please "Vote" via the Poll for now![/mod]

 

[Nuno]

Vote for Toriko people! It's an awesome manga and has been awesome the whole year of 2011 without exception! Bring out the food lover in you and vote!

 

[k-dom]

Especially since Gamaran has lost some of its appeal recently

 

[omegakai]

I nominate Toriko

 

[CristiStar]

I vote for toriko

most interesting mainstream manga since one piece

 

[HegemonKhan]

[mod=HegemonKhan]
Hopefully you guys/girls voted via-in the poll above... as posted votes aren't counted for this "Tie Breaker" Phase.

The actual VOTING for the single Winner of the Best Manga of 2011 will commence on Sat, I think. As soon as we get done-ready with these nominations, anyways. We should definately be starting by next week... I think, lol.

So if these posts were meant to be for the actual VOTING, please re-post these votes then when we start it, but not yet...[/mod]

 

[zelllogan]

This year,I never expected such a comeback as the one in HxH. I really expect , in this category, an overwellming victory for HxH.
Zodiac, Gin, Leorio, Hisoka, Illumi ... the overall quality of the current arc & the pace is just astonishing.

[mod=HegemonKhan]
The Time has come !!! Time to vote upon who shall be the Winner of the Best Fantasy !!!!

The New Polls are ready for your votes to be caste !!![/mod]

 

[benelori]

I think HxH easily takes the crown in this, even if it came back only recently...the heartfelt conclusion of the last arc, and the stunning new intrigues in this new one make this manga of 2011 for me...of course considering just the nominees I have in the poll...but as far as shounen goes...it's HxH

 

[crimsonlink310]

HXH hands down. Togashi went out and showed why he is the highest paid mangaka in the industry this year.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

I would go with Toriko. This year it was really splendid. At least way better than Naruto or One Piece.

 

[Riku]

I wanna give Shingeki no Kyojin credit for it's raise to the current shonen manga map. It is awesome and packs great amount of potential unleashed. However, I stick to my nomination and go for Hunter x Hunter. Incredible come back. Touching conclusion to notorious ant-arc and and start of a new arc, which just might shape to be the best one this far. Awesomeness chapter by chapter. And not only that, but this is the longest Togashi has continuesly been published since the start of the series.

 

[Googlez_kun]

I have not read the recent chapters of Toriko,so I can't vote for it.One Piece had a terrible year and Naruto did not have its best year,either.

Shingeki no Kyojin was great throughout the whole year,though,so the others should not stand a chance.Well,except for HunterxHunter.Even though it did not run for the whole year,Togashi entered with a Dynamic Entry and kept on delivering fantastic chapters.So it's a tough choice,really.I think I'll go with HunterxHunter to celebrate the fact that it's running more than 20 chapters already and that it might continue without another hiatus.

 

[k-dom]

Well I guess that's my point against HxH. This is only a half 2011 manga.
One piece is a no, it shouldn't even be in the list. I dropped Naruto and its boring war.
Let Toriko and Shingeki. Toriko did great in particular the last chapters showed a strategic side which was kind of new but Shingeki is on another level in term of art originality and plot so here goes my vote
