The Manga Taisho (マンガ大賞) is an annual Japanese manga award. The award is limited to series with eight or fewer collected volumes, in order to promote newer titles. The nominating committee, composed of staff members from bookstores, each initially vote for five series and the titles with the top ten number of votes become the official nominees of the year. Finally a second round of voting determines the winner, as well as second and third place.

Number of sales and date that number was acquired from in notes for each. Some of them I have personally estimated a higher figure than the date says.

No. 147 would be the Himitsu Series of books. It's for children and I can't find it on MAL. It has 116 volumes and started in 1972, and has sold 23 million (June 10th, 2018).

No. 105 is Sake no Hosomichi by Roswell Hosoki, which started in 1994 with 52 volumes & 998 chapters in Weekly Manga Goraku.

No. 115 is 4P Tanaka-kun by Taro Nami & Sanbanchi Kawa, which started in 1986 with 51 volumes & 459 chapters in Weekly Shonen Magazine Akita Shoten.

No. 118 is Hocho Mushuku by Yasuyuki Tagawa, which started in 1998 with 50 volumes & 302 chapters in Weekly Manga Goraku Nihon Bungeisha.

No. 142 is Gambling Racer by Makoto Tanaka, which started in 1988 with 46 volumes & 477 chapters in Weekly Morning Kodansha.

My personal collection of female-centric sports manga that's actually good and doesn't feature too much sexualization and actually respects its female protagonists. We need more good sports manga about girls!!

KonoSugoi is an annual magazine aimed at finding out which is the best manga with content published in the year of the survey. The choice is made by a panel of judges from the manga and publishing industry, and often reflects works with a lot of potential for anime adaptation.

Due to the variety of opinions and the extensive amount of works, the list is divided between men and women. In this stack we will cover the choices of the female audience, since the origin of the awards.

When characters have to think "outside the box" to solve problems.
Or, where they have to outsmart someone who is smart(er).

Here are all the josei manga I think one should read in order to cover all bases. I organized this list by general theme, with publishing series at the bottom.

We start off with the classic slice of life and coming of age stories, then to a couple of autobiographical manga, then to the dark and realistic drama stories, then to action and horror stories, then to mystery stories, then to the rom-coms, then to the more light-hearted slice of life stories, and lastly to the important ongoing series.

I'm currently using this list too, despite me being the one who created it!

strong female leads, female friendship, all the good stuff
