And the winner of the Blue Exorcist Giveaway is…Sean Kleefeld!
As the winner, Sean (who can be found online at Kleefeld on Comics, among other places) will be receiving a brand new copy of Blue Exorcist, Volume 1 by Kazue Kato. Blue Exorcist was a series that I finally got around to picking up simply because it appeared on so many “best of the year” lists. I’ve never personally created one of these lists, but I do enjoy reading the lists that other people pull together. And so for this giveaway, I asked entrants to tell me about their favorite new manga (or new to them manga) from 2012. Check out the Blue Exorcist Giveaway comments for all of the responses, but here’s a list!
Some favorite manga from 2012:
Animal Land by Raiku Makoto
Bakuman written by Tsugumi Ohba, illustrated by Takeshi Obata
Bunny Drop by Yumi Unita
Crayon Shinchan by Yoshito Usui
A Devil and Her Love Song by Miyoshi Tomori
Message to Adolf by Osamu Tezuka
One-Punch Man written by ONE, illustrated by Yusuke Murata
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi
Sakura Hime by Arina Tanemura
Silver Spoon by Hiromu Arakawa
Spice & Wolf written by Isuna Hasekura, illustrated by Keito Koume
Sun-Ken Rock by Boichi
Thermae Romae by Mari Yamazaki
Wandering Son by Takako Shimura
I think it turned out to be a pretty nice selection of manga; there’s a good variety, too. (I’ll admit, though—I’m particularly pleased that more than one person mentioned Wandering Son as a favorite, a series that is near and dear to my heart.) Thank you to everyone who shared your favorite manga from 2012! I hope to see you all again for next month’s giveaway.
