Following the Shojo-Josei Tournament 2025 (won by The 7 Knights of the Chestnut Kingdom), the site's 1st Seinen Tournament 2025 launched today. As in the past eight years, the sheer number of new 2025 seinen releases made a single 32-title tournament unworkable without unfairly excluding smaller but worthy series, so the site is again running two seinen tournaments: this first one favoring the most mainstream, best-selling, and widely-owned titles, with a second niche/auteur-focused tournament to follow. Due to the high volume of 2025 debuts, no reissues of previously fully-published series nor French publishers' original creations were eligible.
