posted on 2012-12-06 17:30 EST
The January issue of Media Factory's book and manga news magazine Da Vinci revealed its 13th annual "Book of the Year" list on Thursday. The rankings are not based solely on sales. Instead, a group of 4,625 voters including professional book reviewers, bookstore employees, and Da Vinci readers selected this year's lists.

Novelist Hiro Arikawa's (Library War/Toshokan Sensō) Soratobu Kōhōshitsu and Sanbiki no Ossan Futatabi novels ranked at #1 and #2 on this year's novel list.
Last year's list did not separate between novels and manga, and three manga made the general list. Oda's One Piece ranked at #5, Umino's March comes in like a lion ranked at #6, and Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist ranked at #10.

Pile of Shame - Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gautaman
It could've been offensive, bawdy, witty and hilarious. Instead, it's just sort of lazy and crappy. 2013-09-03

Silver Spoon Episodes 1 - 6 Streaming
Balancing information and humor, Silver Spoon is never dull and if it isn't always pretty – well, that's just the way life is, and the characters would tell you that sometimes you just have to understand that.
