There were lots of wonderful new shojo manga series that made their debut last year -- but which one was your favorite? Vote today!
So there I was, minding my own business on Twitter Sunday morning when Christopher Butcher (of The Beguiling, Toronto Comic Arts Festival and Comics212.net fame) asked me a simple question:
"Hey @debaoki, any thoughts on Manga Milestones of the last decade?"
The next thing I knew, I was tweeting him back with thoughts about what I thought were the most significant manga moments of the past 10 years. Which lead to this: my list of 25 Manga Milestones and Trends from 2000 - 2009.
The first few categories in the 3rd annual About.com Manga Readers Polls are now open and waiting for your votes. The shojo poll is live, so now it's time for theBest New Shonen Manga Readers' Poll.
While there were lots of noteworthy titles that made their debut last year, I had to narrow it down to 10 top contenders. That said, I did manage to include a lot of amazing titles from Yen Press, VIZ Media, Bandai Entertainment, Del Rey Manga and TokyoPop for you to choose from!

Now that 2009 is but a memory, the first day of the new year is a good time to look ahead to the manga that's most worth checking out this year. Here's my picks for the 25 Most Anticipated New Manga for 2010, with Bakuman by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata from VIZ Media and Chi's Sweet Home by Konami Konata from Vertical topping the list of noteworthy upcoming releases.
Like this time last year, pulling together a list of the most exciting new releases scheduled for the next 12 months can be tricky. Narrowing down my picks to just 25 titles was difficult for a wonderful reason: there's lots of good stuff coming out this year.
