Did a fair bit of reading (at least 5 chapters, sometimes 10) for most of the ones I didn’t know, with exception of 2 or 3. In most cases, this equated at least 1 volume, or at least almost, which I think is a fair amount.
I liked them all, but some of the nominees I didn’t really see why they’d be on this list to be honest, but tastes differ. Maybe some of them get really good later on.

We had a decent number of responses, but when the nominations are spread out among so many potential titles, all it takes is a couple dedicated fans to push one up the list. By comparison, it took significantly more to get an anime nomination because the number of potential series is way less.
One of my ideas for doing this again is to align categories with tags on either Mangadex or AniList and, if a series isn’t listed with that tag, it isn’t eligible for that category. Even then, some can be a bit of a stretch, but it should at least be easier to assign eligibility. I think one of the reasons that Best Suspense got so few nominations is because that category is a bit vague and ill-defined.

Good idea. I struggled with some categories too because I didn’t quite know what counted and what didn’t. Suspense is one of them.
