Named after Osamu Tezuka, the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize (手塚治虫文化賞, Tezuka Osamu Bunkashō) is a yearly manga prize awarded to manga artists or their works that follow the Osamu Tezuka manga approach founded and sponsored by Asahi Shimbun. The prize has been awarded since 1997, in Tokyo, Japan.

From 1997 to 2002, the series that received the second-most votes was awarded the Award for Excellence, the winners of which are also included in this stack.

Critics & Connoisseurs was a club that was founded in 2008 and ended club activities on the 31st of 2022.

The goal of the club was to come up with a list of highly recommended quality shows and manga that are exemplary either within its genre or universally. A manga needed a 70% approval rate in our voting to get on the relation list. The following manga are all part of said list.
Do note that our club's main focus always was anime, our club's readership was relatively low which results in a lot of manga not being able to reach enough votes to get on the relation list despite having a 70% or higher approval rate.

Just a list of what in my opinion is the pinnacle of the medium. No particular order.

Real legit kino based lit mangoes

This is for your friends who only know manga through anime or only relate it to shonen and H, it’s not necessarily directed at a “manga beginner” but for someone who wants to understand it better as a medium. More than 1 volume, well drawn, easy to follow yet interesting visual and narratively.

Some aspects I considered:
- Little to no fanservice and tropes that might break the immersion
- Cinematic vibes
- Down to earth, realistic characters
- Cross-cultural appeal
- Human drama

A great manga has the ability to drag the readers into the story and make them experience what the characters are going through. Intense battle sequences will make you hold your breath in excitement while heartbreaking scenes will make you bawl your eyes out.

But there are times when you don't want to feel such deep emotions from manga. Sometimes you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the story. In that case, a wholesome manga that can make you smile throughout the story is the one you should read, and these are some selections of manga that can do just that.

I'm trying to make a comprehensive list of all Manga and Manhwa that was translated into Swedish. In this part so have I listed the manga that never got a complete translation into Swedish.

Sorted by newest to oldest.

This is the original The Knuckleheads' Hall of Fame.

These manga have been judged by The Knuckleheads and found to be good. This taste in manga is 1000% more correct than the elitists. Legends says that if you watch and like all of these manga, you have good taste ,and your IQ is in the negatives.
Any of these manga can be voted out of the list, and if that happens, they will be removed from the stack.

These are manga that are super wholesome and sweet!

The primary focus of these tend to be romance, family or other relationships. There may be a subplot, or an occasional serious scene here and there, but the vast majority of the manga is wholesome and adorable!
