Why, hello there As you all know, voting for the MangaHelpers Manga Awards 2010 closed just a few days ago. Thanks to your nominations and votes, we now have our winners! Which manga won the award of Best Hairstyling? Let me keep you in suspense as I take you on a little journey through time...
The nominees we had in this category were: Bleach, Yu-gi-oh!, Dragonball, Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn!, Shiki, Nurarihyon no Mago, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Psyren, Hatsukoi Ltd., History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, Veritas, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Code: Breaker and Eyeshield 21. Bleach led the pack with an astonishing 14 nominations, a whopping 5 more than Yu-Gi-Oh!'s 8 votes!
Nevertheless, only the top 5 made it to the voting round, so joining Bleach and Yu-Gi-Oh! we had... Dragonball (5 nominations), Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn! (4 nominations) and Shiki (2 nominations)!
So which manga had the Best Hairstyling!? It was.......!!! Let me first tell you what our STARs decided! What STARs? Celebrities? Yes, they are our celebrities aka our Scanlators, Translators, Artists and Reviewers!!! Our STARs voted and they think that the manga with the Best Hairstyling is...
A TIE BETWEEN...
[sizept=20]BLEACH!!![/sizept]
AND...
[sizept=20]SHIKI!!![/sizept]
[sizept=20]BLEACH!!![/sizept]
AND...
[sizept=20]SHIKI!!![/sizept]
Cut the crap, you say, so who actually won? First off, as a point of interest, our STAFF and you, the MangaHelpers community (also includes STAFF and STARs), voted the same series as having the Best Hairstyling! The MangaHelpers Staff includes MangaHelpers, Global Moderators, Administrators and MH Senpai. All of you have voted, and the manga with the [sizept=15]BEST HAIRSTYLING[/sizept] is...
[sizept=30]BLEACH!!![/sizept]
Congratulations to Kubo Tite for inventing such great hairstyles for the characters of BLEACH!! Having swept the award in every way possible (except for tying with Shiki for the STARs' votes), it would appear that there is a general consensus that the quirky hairstyles - a plait down the front, bells at the end of your spiky hair - are a go with everyone! An honorable mention to Shiki as well for its truly unique hairstyles that almost managed to defeat Bleach!
