12 Best New Manga of 2007: Mushishi, Suppli and More

Last week, I named Mushishi as my pick for Best New Manga for 2007 -- Now, here's the rest of the 12 notable new manga releases that caught my eye this past year. Some were no-brainers. Suppli was the best new josei manga, hands down. Gon was practically the only new all-ages manga title released this year. But the other choices weren't so cut and dried, and some categories ended up in a tie because I just couldn't choose just one.

Check out the rest of my picks for the Best New Manga for 2007, including Best New Shonen Manga, Best New Shojo Manga, Best New Seinen Manga, Best Re-Issue of Previously Released Manga, Best One-Shot Manga, Best OEL Manga and see if they match your choices. Or if they don't, sound off in the forums or vote for your favorites in the readers' polls:

• Vote: Best New Shonen Manga
• Vote: Best New Shojo Manga
• Vote: Best New Seinen (Men's) Manga
• Vote: Best New Josei (Ladies') Manga

Next up: My picks for the best current (continuing) manga series for 2007, plus one graphic novel that I call "2007's Worst So-Called Excuse for Manga".
