The Seiun Award (星雲賞, Seiunshou) is a Japanese speculative fiction award for the best science fiction works and achievements during the preceding year. Organized and overseen by the Science Fiction Fan Groups' Association of Nippon (SFFAN; 日本SFファングループ連合会議, Nihon SF Fan Group Rengou Kaigi), the awards were given each year at the annual Japan Science Fiction Convention. It is the oldest SF award in Japan, which was first given in 1970 at the 9th Japan Science Fiction Convention and has been awarded every year since that.

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.

Tragedy is a genre of drama based on human suffering and, mainly, the terrible or sorrowful events that befall a main character. In these manga, the Protagonist experiences trauma from war or apocalyptic-like scenarios. These deal with realistic portrayals of the mental and physical effects war has left many lives with as well as those whom are ripped from their lives and may never return again...

Worldbuilding - "the process of constructing a world, originally an imaginary one, sometimes associated with a fictional universe." These kinds of manga are usually set in a fantasy and/or sci-fi world, and excel at establishing & showcasing the rules/history/economy of their fictional universe. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what manga are considered to have great world building.

Manga that have frogs and/or toads in them, can be real, can be items.

Manga or light novels. If you dont like anime movies you can try these. And even if you read a lot, you may find something new and unusual.

Japan's Shōwa era lasted from 1926 to 1989. In 2009, Asahi Shimbun announced a polled list of 50 of the greatest 'masterpieces(名作)' of the Shōwa era. The only one not listed on MAL yet is 'Iga no Kagemaru' by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, which was ranked 27th.

Cyberpunk, Sci-Fi, Dystopia & Post-Apocalyptic mangas.

This list will always be in alphabetical order.

I don't expect everyone to agree with my choices and that is okay. If everyone agreed with me that would be boring.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something that I consider to have gone above and beyond my expectations and absolutely worth a try.

This stack contains all of the manga that I have completed and given a rating of 8.5 or higher. This is the top 9-11% of my completed manga list (hence the stack name). This list will rarely change, though there are currently 5 titles that may end up here when they finish, so I guess I'll list them here as "honorable mentions". Those manga are; Gabriel DropOut (8.5), Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? (8.5), Machikado Mazoku (9), Tonikaku Kawaii (9.5) and Yotsuba&! (8.5).

Every manga covered by the Mangasplaining podcast in Season 2. Episode 37 covered Moto Hagio's A Drunken Dream and Other Stories, a compilation volume of one-shots. Episode 48 covered The Blood Red Boy by Minami Q-ta.
