I nominate Fairy Tail for Best Shounen.

Oh whops, my bad. Fixed.

 

[hoeru]

Since One Piece is already nominated: I suggest Fairy Tail.

It's been sold equally good as volumes as Bleach in Japan. And as One Piece, it gets better the more often you read and "dive into" it.

 

[Nii]

I nominate One Piece for Best Shounen.

[mod=naruto-niichan]Please change your nomination. Last years Winner can NOT be nominated again. You will find the rules and the Winners of last year HERE.[/mod]

 

[MattC302]

I nominate Hunter x Hunter for best Shounen.

Yeah, okay, it has some hiatus problems, but it came back this year stronger than ever IMO and is a really creative piece of work.

 

[zelllogan]

Hunter x Hunter is already nominated. So, I need to change my nomination.

I nominate Gamaran for Best Shounen.
It's an unpretentious work which doesn't receive the attention it deserves. Cool swordfighting, likable characters, a good villain & good art ... Not bad for a manga which doesn't have its own section on mangahelpers.

I nominate Saint Oniisan for best shounen. Because shounen doesn't need action to be good, and this is one of the weirdest and funniest things I've read in the last few years.

It's considered as a seinen

 

[stark94]

I nominate Toriko

 

[Shrimp]

It's considered as a seinen

Ah ,yes, too bad.

Then I nominate Beelzebub for Best Shounen.

 

[Gotenkss]

One piece already won the award last year.
I nominate Naruto as the best Shounen

 

[ErosVp]

So One Piece is out because it won last year? Good, the others shounens have a chance now! But HunterXHunter, Toriko, Gamaran and Beelzebub... Another hard choice this year....

 

[Barksrae]

I nominate Zatch Bell!/Konjiki no Gash!! for best shounen.

The characters are all hilariously unique and the emotion I feel, whether happy or sad, never goes away no matter how many times I reread it; this series is genius.

 

[Riku]

Since HxH is already nominated, I nominate Shingeki no Kyojin.

Relatively new hit manga in Japan. Horror shonen is so rare these days, and Shingeki no Kyojin works damn well. The athmosphere is haunting and action cool. The setting is tasty for future developement. It is very interesting, imo the second most interesting shonen at the moment, just after HxH.

 

[kdowns]

I nominate Fullmetal Alchemist for best shounen.

 

[mattiaildivino]

the best is of course DRAGON BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[meeedoooz]

i nominate Naruto.

i'm a huge fan so to me it's always the best manga , that aside this year naruto has really evolved in plot and characters, even the nine tails

 

[ick]

I nominate Ushio to Tora for Best Shonen.
Choral, raw, exciting, touching, amusing.
One of the best example of 90's shonen.

 

[Teubier]

I support Gamaran for Best Shonen.

It's clearly the one that amazed me the most this year, the pace at which the story evolves and the serious badassness of the fights are truly impressive imho. Like zelllogan said, it's an unpretentious work but it certainly is ambitious.

 

[Darjaille]

I'm nominating Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann as the best shounen. Wonderful story about how you have to try and do even things that may seem impossible. You say 'Booo, mecha'? It's only a tool, the story is wonderful even if you're not exactly on good terms with mecha. You say 'childish'? Watch episode 8 and try to say it again. You say 'cheese'? Just as much how much was needed to end it in epic tone.
