Vote: Best Shounen Manga

Whitebeard, Shounen Manga not Shounen Mangaka. :<

As for me...it's a toughy, can we vote for anything serialized in a shounen magazine like Weekly SHounen Jump? Or does it really HAVE to be shounen? Like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach blah blah. Action and not really life.

I'm gonna go with Rouroni Kenshin. The best shounen I have read so far.

I've never read a better plot than that one.

WB didn't vote a mangaka, he voted a manga

And yeah, you can vote any shonen out there, wheter it's being serialized on a magazine or directly by tankobons or whatever. Check its Mangaupdates page to make sure it is a shonen if you have doubts about a manga.

It's not that it's not shounen, it's jsut not the typical action/adventure shounen. Ichigo 100% is moreso romance. But hey it was serialized in WSJ :].

And I was talknig about how he was emphasizing about how Oda is writing such a good story for so long. I know he voted for One Piece damnz sheesh :<

As long as it's shonen, it doesn't mind whatever the theme is

Sorry for the misunderstanding regarding WB's words, then

The manga is written by a mangaka. If the mangaka is brilliant, then the story is great. You don't really have one without the other. So it's implied when you say the manga is great, then the mangaka is as well.
