Annual manga lists, such as the "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" rankings and Manga Taisho Award, are a great way to find new manga to read. There is only one problem: many of the titles which appear in these lists have yet to be licensed overseas (and aren't guaranteed to ever be).

"You Should Read This Manga" aims to create an annual manga discovery list for the international fan. Passionate manga readers can nominate any title that has recently been licensed and released outside Japan. While this doesn't guarantee all finalist manga will be available in every region, it greatly increases the probability for it to be licensed (now or in the future).


Nomination Criteria

Since our goal is to spotlight relatively new and unknown manga available to the international fan, there are few conditions for nominations:
  • At least one volume of the manga was published overseas in 2024.
  • The manga's Rank and Popularity are not in the Top 50.
  • If the series is completed, it finished serialization in 2022 or later.
Series with <9 volumes released overseas which were not featured in the previous year will take priority for the main and unique lists.

    You Should Read This Manga (min. 1 title, max. 10 titles)
    • You really want to recommend this manga to a friend!

    Should be anime (optional)
    • Cannot have an anime adaptation in the last 5 years.

    Best for beginners (optional)
    • Can easily be enjoyed by new manga readers (e.g. already adapted to incomplete anime).

    Unique art/story (optional)
    • For well-versed manga readers who are looking for something fresh.

    Deadline: Feb 27, 7pm JST

Even though I'm not a manga reader, this is probably the event I look forward to the most every year (more so than the Secret Santa event).

From this event, I've enjoyed Otoyomegatari and Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku. Absolute gems!

Excited to see which manga I'll stumble upon next.

Because we can't have anyone reading old manga, let alone spending money on them.

@LittleStar I think i have read some manga that qualified, if I see the Eligible Manga List. But even if it so, at least, tell me with a proper display, not a script error, o site developer.

color me interested. I so rarely stumble across great manga on my own. Would be interesting to get a bunch of them.

**Edit**: I did think of something I'm reading that would make a great anime. Submitted though I doubt it'll make it though.

I'm a long-time user of MAL but I think it's my first time posting on these community threads, I hardly do it, but here are my 2 cents.

Ragna Crimson's manga is currently my best manga. Unfortunately, the anime was a piece of shit, but the manga is freaking awesome so if you want to read something new, then read the manga of Ragna Crimson and do it from the beginning, it will be worth your time.

And if you finished the anime, I still recommend you to read the manga from the beginning.

My first time participating in the nominations, and I get to put in 2 of my favorite manga: Veil and Ao no Hako. I seriously can’t recommend these both enough, and I hope more people will be able to experience these lovely stories for themselves

@Luckanio I'm not sure why this is happening. As a temporary work around, you should be able to nominate using a different version of the form that Kodansha tweeted: https://x.com/KodanshaManga/status/1887622667328434226

@marigold-ox The anime is just not good, the animation in the 1st cour is okay-ish I guess and the anime there deserves at least a 7/10, it's not horrible, but it's not good enough either, there are 2 episodes that are actually good and deserves an 8/10 in the 1st cour, but the rest are a 7/10, but in the 2nd cour the animation degrades to a 4/10, it's bad, really bad, they obviously ran out of budget there and everything for the most part, looked horrible, it had some good moments here and there that lasted a couple of seconds, but then it degrades with shit animation afterward that last the whole episode, just don't waste your time with that crappy anime adaptation and read the manga instead. I will praise the last episode though, the last episode is actually awesome and I loved it.

As for how different it is, the anime obviously removed some things and changed a few things here and there like most anime adaptations out there, the changes aren't huge, but it's noticeable if you are a manga reader. I wasn't too happy with the things the anime removed either but I could live with it, I'm more pissed at the animation since it was pretty bad for the most part, and lastly, the anime is more kid-friendly, the manga is darker and more brutal.
