Manga Is Taking the World by Storm! MyAnimeList’s Ultimate Manga Reading List Receives 2024 Renewal

What You Need to Know:

• MyAnimeList has released the 2024 edition of its annual You Should Read This Manga, a selected reading list built by avid manga readers from across the globe. Divided into sections, the list consists of four categories which can be enjoyed by both newcomers to the medium as well as experienced readers. As part of this year’s event, MyAnimeList users will receive a special profile badge if they read a title on the list and register it to their manga list.
• A unique global manga promotion project carried out by MyAnimeList, the world-renowned anime and manga community with 18 million monthly active users from over 240 countries in conjunction with industry professionals. The project is the first of its kind and features online nominations from users around the world as well as a panel of judges who curate nominations to produce the ultimate list of manga recommendations for that year. Aside from the main category, “You Should Read This Manga”, there are also sub-categories tailored for beginners and other audiences.
• This event also serves as a sales promotion opportunity with banners promoting industry sponsors.
