Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (このマンガがすごい!, "This Manga Is Amazing!") is an annual reference mook series published by Takarajimasha since 2005 featuring yearly rankings and reviews of manga. The rankings are compiled by surveying professionals in the manga and publishing industry.[1] The first two years saw two separate versions of Kono Manga ga Sugoi! published; one covering manga for men, and one covering manga for women. Since 2007, only one book covering both demographics together has been published. The series is part of Takarajimasha's other mook series, including Kono Eiga ga Sugoi!, which focuses on film; Kono Mystery ga Sugoi!, which focuses on mystery novels; and Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!, which focuses on light novels.
