[SirSamuel016]

I voted Boku no Hero Academia here. Should be pretty self-explanatory but I think it's the best going around.

 

[Lady pompom]

I'm supporting Boku no Hero. The characters and the plot are very attractive and the whole story about heroes and villains in an eternal battle of light and darkness.

 

[Brandish μ]

I'll give it to HxH over Berserk because of Hisoka vs Chrollo.

 

[goldb]

I hadn't realised that One Piece didn't even make the voting round

I voted for Berserk out of this group. Miura is one of the best writers there is or ever has been, his ability to maintain sophisticated plots and characters, exploring sometimes uncomfortable themes and really working one's imagination is brilliant. Plus it's always great to see seinen writers who can strike a balance between the sometimes darker tones of its demographic and add comedy to it.

 

[Nii]

Now this is a difficult one... I feel like Berserk definitely has the strongest plot overall, but Hunter x Hunter is slightly better at it's peak(s) to me. Stuff like the Meruem/Komugi chapter is something I will never forget.

Hmm, Hunter x Hunter for now.

 

[Lambu]

I love Berserk and HxH when it comes to the writing (probably one of best seinen and shonen respectively), but I vote for Boku no Hero Academia because it got way more chapters for Horikoshi to develop things last year. Still hard not to vote for the other 2 though.

My thoughts are similar. HxH is my favorite manga, but even though I love it I am reticent to vote for it in this category since there were less chapters, same for Berserk.

Hard to choose...

 

[Brandish μ]

Vinland Saga. It's very well written.

I really like Neverland, and it's definitely worth consideration. And from what I hear, SnK is also solid. But cannot ignore the drama of the Baltic Sea.

 

[SirSamuel016]

Attack on Titan. I've only read it and Neverland, and comparing the stories the two have told this past year, AoT is far better imo.

 

[Lambu]

Its hard not to vote Shingeki no Kyojin, but The Promised Neverland has kept a superb level of writing since it began (one of the best psycological series I've read in a long time) so it gets my vote. Dont know Vinland Saga so I cant comment.

 

[Riku]

All three are worthy the nomination.

As good as Neverland is, I find its bit too reliant on shocks and twists. For a protagonist of the series, Emma feels very flat for me. It need to unleash the potential of its characters more.

Shingeki is very good also. But I'm still kinda pissed with how always just when we are about to get some answers, boom kabam, the chance to get answer is gone. It went on for so oo loooong. Though the fact I feel this passionate, is just profiili how well written and how captivating the series is

I'm voting Vinland Saga here. It doesn't need crazy shock twists or mystery monsters to stay interesting. It relies on telling the tales of its characters in a historialical setting in a manner so charming that I have hard time to compare it with anything. It pretty classical actually. Heavy emphasis on character growth and interaction, good dose of that that Kings and poison type of court intrigue political drama with some intense action here and there. And humor to lighten it up at times. Its very human in many aspects and its Very easy to relate to Thorfinn and his peaceseeking lowborn group in midst of the historical change. It just good.
