[Brandish μ]

Oda Eiichiro - for continued success, and bringing back Zoro finally.
Inio Asano - for trying out a time travel plot device, we'll see what he makes of it. He got married as well I believe.
Hiro Mashima - return of the mack.

 

[Arjuna]

Isayama (for making SNK reach 88 Million in Sales)

Inio Asano (for marrying and hoping that he will stop writing depressing stuff now)

Araki (for continuing the great tradition and popularity of JoJo)

 

[Elusia]

Nominating Naoki Urasawa. Hurray for new manga! Hopefully it'll be as great as his other works!

[Riku]

Yukimura Makoto

For boldly doing his thing and as congratulations for Vinland Saga finally getting animated.

Mashima - writing EZ, doing a new shot, doing the storyboard for FT100yr. And the man is known for never taking a break.

Oshimi Shūzō - for writing both Trail of Blood and Happiness

Isayama - for SnK

[Juviii]

Hiro Mashima
Suzuki Nakaba

[Vici]

Even if I don't follow his work gonna support Oda nomination for creating such long series that's still from what I hear keep some decent level.

For now:

Hiro Mashima - The guy simply gives 0 fucks.

And I support this.

 

[Sky]

Will also support Oda and nominate Toyotaro.

 

[Brandish μ]

Going to betray 2 of my nominations and choose Ooima Yoshitoki. Can draw some amazing scenes, and also her character designs can make me emotional the most

Other vote for Asano for what I said before, plus being a mangaka that says a lot. Not agreeing with it all the time (can annoy me too) but it's a change to most of what I do read.

 

[Sky]

Mashima is, once more, the best Mangaka who walked the earth during the past year. Anything else than an outstanding win would be heresy.

 

[javohotell]

I'm sorry Oda, but Mashima ate the whole 2018 with EZ and FT100YQ and it looks like he has for much more.
