I'd never heard of saint young men. Just read the plot and sounds awesome. Searching if it's being translated~

edit: Found it. Will check it now.

Wow, Gintama beat Reborn... How the hell did that happen?

Well Reborn kinda sucks ass nowadays..

But... It has Gokudera. D=

Bleach is third place by series? I didn't think it'd still be that popular.

One Piece number one? FUCK YEAH!

Manga: No surprises once again.

Light Novel & Picture Book Ranking: nothing to comment except this is the first time I've actually seen a ranking for light novels.

hey Nodame Cantabile made it...nice

They still make an Ouran High School Host Club Manga!?

For Naruto being the world's most popular manga, it sure isn't that high on the list losing to One Piece.

Naruto lost its charm years ago while One Piece still got it

Since when was Naruto "the world's most popular manga"?

Ya, Thriller Bark and Amazon Island-arcs says hi lol
(^worthless arcs if anyone didn't get it)

Not much surprises there on the manga rankings. But a few of them aren't on my radar yet (in terms of my reading list)... I'd check them out ASAP.

I meant that it has attained its unique lol moments since the beginning up til now, yet it has the seriousness when needed.

Naruto mostly lost most of that now, although it might just be me

.... wow....

For every Narutard there's atleast three generic I-Haet-Naruto! bandwagon faggots, so i dunno about them ruling anything.
And if you go by being an annoyance over the internet the OPtards win by far.

One Piece at first place? not so surprising really.....
