I'll vote for Freezing because I like fanservice and strong women in manga. :)

I voted for 20th Century Boys but almost all finalists would be great winners with the exception of Freezing which shouldn't be among the nominations.

Freezing is a manga with good but not outstanding graphics with a "ecchi"/"fan service" theme ... If we're going that road, just why not nominate directly "Slut Girl" from Isutoshi ?

Indeed, why is Freezing even among these other names? Nothing against it, but really in this company...

I vote for Monster. 20th Century Boys ain't far behind, but Monster is and will probaply be my favorite manga for ever. How the story was built. Just almost perfect.

Freezing looks ridiculous among those masterpieces.

I'm ashamed to say that I have yet to read Monster(Let the flaming begin),so I'll go with Blade of the Immortal.20th Century Boys is one of my favourite series ever,Vagabond and Vinland Saga are great as well,but Blade of the Immortal is shining so much more brightly than those manga.The art alone speaks volumes.

I wish Billy Bat gets the recognition as other Urasawa works, I mean thew Billy Bat thread in the seinen section is dead, I feel like I am talking to myself, Urasawa fans get over there now! D:

Anyway, I voted for Monster, loved the protagonist and antagonist, the story, the masterful flow and everything.

I don't like to read Urasawa work when I have to wait for the next chapter. The main quality is the scenario on his work & if I have to wait several weeks between each chapter, I would understand almost nothing to the scenario.

It is supposed to be bi-weekly I think, but the scans and raws are a bit off with each other, not to mention the releases, so yeah I can understand why that might throw off. D:

Also I just re read arcs and stuff all the time so I keep up and know what is going on all the time. xD

I have just started Billy Bat, and already at chapter 8 you start to say : You're damn Urasawa, what other crazy story are you writing !!

I have only have read Monster and Vinland Saga ... and though i found Monster a good work, the end was not my cup of tea. Too subjective.
So i am going to vote for Vinland Saga. A manga, that i already follow for quite some time, and that managed to continue being interesting even though it's monthly. It's really difficult for me to keep interested in a monthly manga ... but Vinland Saga is really good, and definitely a must read if you appreciate Seinen.

I voted Blade of the Immortal, one of my all time favorite manga. One of the few manga that can be placed in a literary genre (modernism) rather than just a manga genre.

I voted Vinland Saga, the greatest manga i've ever read, not more, nor less. Thorkell: best Mad character of ever. Askeladd: best calculator character of ever. Makoto Yukimura: a legend.
