I voted. Hardest decision was picking Best New Korean Manwha. (I chose Pig Bride after long debate.) Second hardest decision was Best New Shonen Manga. (Ultimately voted for Pandora Hearts.) My Best New International Manga choice was Nightschool. My comedy manga vote went to a non-Yen choice.

Well, 2% voted for Future Diary while 58% voted for Pandora Hearts. So it seems like some people disagree with you two. (:

PANDORA HEARTS! It’s obvious it’s gonna become another manga phenomenon – cause It already is in japan! With a 25ep anime and ongoing manga, I know it’s worthy to be one of the best and well-known manga. Just wait until the series gets going in america!

If it’s okay I’d like to ask an off-topic question: Since you guys, Yen Press, have the license for Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning, what are the chances of you also licensing its prequel, Spiral: Alive?
I’m confident the odds of this would be different were it concerning a different title, or one of a company you didn’t have as good or close a relationship with, but I’ve seen sequels/prequels and spin-off series licensed by different companies here in the States before, so I’m wondering if Spiral can avoid that fate.
