What you need to know:
- MyAnimeList has released the 2024 edition of its annual Comics You Should Read, a curated reading list created by avid comics readers around the world. This list is divided into sections and consists of four categories that both media newbies and seasoned readers can enjoy. As part of this year’s campaign, MyAnimeList users will receive a special profile badge if they read a title from the list and register it to their own comic list.
- MyAnimeList is a world-renowned animation community with 18 million monthly active users from more than 240 countries. It has joined hands with industry professionals to launch a unique global comics promotion project. The project is the first of its kind and includes online nominations from users around the world as well as nominations from a jury who curate the nominations to produce the final list of comics recommendations for the year. In addition to the main category “You should read this comic,” there are subcategories tailored for beginners and other audiences.
- The event also serves as a promotional opportunity to promote industry sponsors through banners.
