As a result of this list, a poster has been designed to display in bookshops across the world entitled "You Should Read This Manga", helping fans to choose the very best titles from Japan.

Furthermore, the event will now be annual, polling the site's 18 million users located in 240 countries to create the ultimate "must-read" list.
