After nominating 13 manga titles in 2008, there were significantly fewer Japanese comics given the nod for the 2009 Will Eisner Awards, with only 8 nominations, including a double nomination for Naoki-Urasawa's Monster.

Voting for the Eisner Awards is limited to comics professionals, including comics creators, editors, publishers, and retailers. Comics press, marketing / PR professionals in the comics biz and fans are not allowed to vote in the Eisners. See the full list of 2009 Eisner nominees.

The winners will be announced at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International at a reception on Friday, July 24 at the San Diego Convention Center.
