MangaHelpers' Best Manhwa/Manhua 2011 is...

THE BREAKER
(including The Breaker: New Waves)

The new English teacher, Chun-Woo, is not your ordinary teacher. Shioon, a victim of constant bullying, unexpectedly witnesses Chun-Woo's fighting power, and begs him to make him his disciple. Chun-Woo claims he can teach Shioon only if he is truly determined, and Shioon must jump off a bridge into a deep river in order to prove it!

It turns out, however, that Chun-Woo and his powers are more than meets the eye. Shioon makes a grand entrance into the hidden world of martial arts, and he is about to be taught by the best there is!

Staff Members' choice: Noblesse
STARs' choice: Tower of God and The Breaker

Re: Best Manhwa/ Best Manhua

I nominate The Breaker & The Breaker-New Waves as the best Manhwa. (better not to seperate the two titles because it's just a continuation of the same story).

The Breaker definitely the best Manhwa title out there. The story is very appealing and the art is astonishing. Other Manhwa titles are struggling with their stories and cast, but The Breaker is keeping it together and improving steadily over time.
The ending of the first part made it look like there is nothing to add to the story, but they kept going and impressing us fans with the awesome storyline they came up with! All hail The Breaker :>

Would Noblesse count as a Manhwa?

i vote 4 Tower of God

Re: Best Manhwa/ Best Manhua

I nominate Tower of God as Best Manhwa!

The plot and possibilities of this piece are just too great. It has a good number of appealing characters, the last arc may remember some guys of HxH... But the most fascinating thin is the world presented in it. Like One Piece or Lord of the Rings, it has a history and mithology of its own and can sustain itself, charm and intrigue the readers!

Re: Best Manhwa/ Best Manhua

I feel stupid, but can you confirm that there wasn't a Manhwa award last year, I can't find it.
For diversity I nominate
Shin Angyo Onshi: : It's a complete manhwa with a very strong plot, plus the art is also great

Re: Best Manhwa/ Best Manhua

I nominate Shin angyo Onshi for Best Manhwa. Most manhwa are about the same things: Fighting & Romance in high school: the breaker, change guy, unbalance x unbalance, Veritas, ... Shin angyo onshi have its own identity is an exceptional piece of work. The first volume is the best I read in a manga/manhwa. The art & the characters are exceptional. The story is among the best as well

Edit: fuck ... second time my nomination is taken while I'm writing it. But well, I will vote for it anyway.
So I support Shin angyo Onshi for Best Manhwa

Re: Best Manhwa/ Best Manhua

I also climb on the bandwagon and nominate Tower of God. For the same reasons ErosVp mentioned, I couldn't have said it better.
