A survey of the top ten manga the Japanese would like to see left to posterity reveals the paragon of literary greatness in comic form is apparently a basketball manga, and that future generations might be disappointed should they happen not to like shonen manga…
The list, compiled by chart masters Oricon:
1. Slam Dunk
2. One Piece
3. Dragonball
4. Doraemon
5. Sazae-san
6. Detective Conan
7. Kochikame
8. Chibi Maruko-chan
9. Full Metal Alchemist
10. Hana Yori Danshi
The survey took a stratified sample of 900 men and women, asking 150 men and 150 women from those in their teens, those in their twenties and those in their thirties, all of whom answered yes to the question “do you have an interest in manga?”
Via Oricon.

The list was made by asking people of different age groups so the ones that got that high are the ones that were popular among all the age groups.
That might be why there are many very long old and still ongoing manga there and why its so full of shonen.
Kids like shonen, older kids still like it and adults might still remember liking it.
For something to get that high on the list it would have to appeal to all the age groups.
I find all this very interesting, many currently popular manga are apparently only popular with kids while older classics like dragon ball still stand relevant.
More than a third of those aren't exactly "shonen", though
Yu-Gi-Oh! and Death Note were robbed, that is all...
"150 girls"
NO FUCKING WONDER. Do you not know how many Slam Dunk fangirls there are?!
All those who say any of the manga and animes mentioned are horrible obviously are Americans who have no taste and appreciation to understand how good they are. Too bad!
1st: there are ONLY manga on the list you imbecile
2nd: already said several times, I'm Romanian
Slam Dunk deserves its place.
no gto
I'm amaze this is the only place where i see a different set of peeps , best trolls ever are down here! or maybe that's Sankaku for me. Anyways , OP is definitely not a surprise , whether you like or not , that series got a real story ,no matter how much you try to bash it , you can never deny the fact of majority's choice and taste. But i know everyone have their own taste , what's i'm just amaze is the attitude of retaliating to this kind of issue by means trolling and nothing else.
I would've voted for Slam Dunk and Hikaru no Go.
Holy fuck thats terrible. If thats that was leftI would hate manga/anime.
Come on! Where's Gintama?
I don't necessarily like all of these series, but I agree with all of them. All of these deserved to be "classics."
the list is funny considering that some of them have passed at least one generation.
It's amazing to see how many butt-hurt people there are about the poll. It's just opinions from a selected group of people, it's not like it's absolute and those are the best 10 of all time. If you don't like it, then just make your own poll and ask people who have the same interests as you if you want it to be the way you want it.
One Piece is shit, it doesn't deserve to be in any of the top 10 list.
seems like you don't like adventure and comedy genders. too bad for you
Apparently u dunno shit.
Nothing I read is on there damnit D:
Maybe you should start picking one or two of the ones on the list. Expand your reading horizons and all.
wheres rurouni kenshin?its legendary!!!T.T
It is already dead. WATATATATATATATATATATATATA
DORAGON BOORU ZETTO!
No Galaxy Express or Rokudenashi Blues?
Where is Monster and Ruro-Ken (a.k.a. Samurai X)
berserk,kodomono jikan,20th century boys...no
I think, u ask only retards =S
Dragonball ownz all other manga created. Fuck this chart, dragonball ftw!
Where are Berserk Gantz GTO Elfenlied Suzuka wtf is this
Hana Yori Danshi???
Maybe you mean Hana Yori Dango?
- One Piece - best
- Dragonball - good but i'm stuck there
- Fullmetal Alchemist - should be fine but i havent read it though.
And what i really miss here is
- SKIP BEAT!
- Claymore
Everybody just loves One Piece it seems.
W0ah Slam Dunk tops the ranking every single time :p They really need a sequel to that, cant get enough of sendoh!
Wow no Rumiko sensei or Adachi sensei's work,me sad
DAMN!Are u guys really think shonen/kids like death note,berserk & ect... over one piece,dragon ball,fma & doraemon?The only missing is sailor moon,thk god naruto & bleach isnt there!I take yuyu hakusho & hokuto no ken over those 2 anyday.
I could swear i can see Aya Tojo there, Next to the guy wearing the farm hat, what anime is that from again...
Aya Tojou from Ichigo 100%.
I am missing Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Q_Q
But the list is not that bad though
The majority of Japanese middle-age women and little girls reads Sazae-san,no doubt about it why it stays that long.I think most members of Sankaku community are bunch of whiny little punks who think they know everything about anime or manga and self-proclaimed otaku gods or something.Time to die little kids.
An ignorant anon with a mask on is still an ignorant anon
Also, think about the audience that the manga you're a fan of is intended for before you complain about the list. After all, anime is rare in Japan and it can be assumed to be about the same for manga...
Nope , it's a different story here in Japan mate , sorry. It's all about the general's taste , so this is more of a country's differences (so culture might have to play a critical part here). No need to bash and troll the poll actually , this is Japan's rate and so does the other countries have its own version for their part.
I never expected the likes of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou popping up in such popularity lists but the lack of seinen or josei works is disturbing.
Yey! no Nar**to and Bl**ch!
Bleach started pretty good. It got crap when they started using excuses to make him more powerful.
Is he a Jedi yet?
Any action manga would take a nose dive after the first arc or after 200 chapters, even No. 2 and No. 3 of this survey. The good thing about One Piece and Dragonball is that it shoots back up with another refreshing arc/storyline. Bleach hardly surprises me anymore. Naruto every once in awhile. The Americans will eventually learn too in the long run.
it is as expected
gunzaku speaks the truth.

Although it's an anime list, not manga, One Piece is still in the Top 10 most watched anime in Japan for a very very long time (number 2 as of last week). Bleach and Naruto are nowhere to be found.
In fact, the list complies nicely with the manga list above.
Wow, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is the only summer-exclusive show there. nice!
it's a surprise really considering the fanboys out there or maybe they're not as huge in Japan as it is outside of it.
Naruto is the most critically acclaimed overrated series at its best. Bleach is the best contender of the epic loopholes at its best. Now you know the reason why they are out of the league.
You know I wish all the American Narutards would just go die, same with the fat cosplayers.
Slam dunk = The Best
One piece = On its way to the best ever
Dragonball = Uhh naked buff people bathed in blood
Doraemon = Pretty good
Sazae-san = What?
Detective Conan = Really good
Kochikame = Why can't the author just die already.
Chibi Maruko-chan = Okay
Full Metal Alchemist = Pretty darn good
Hana Yori Danshi = Huh?
Demons like you tell other people to die are the ones who should die first, heartless swine.
lolswineflu
Hana Yori Dango, yo.
聖☆お兄さん :<
1.Slam Dunk: boring
2.One Piece: boring
3.Dragonball: not AS boring, and it DID start a genre
4.Doraemon: lame as hell
5.Sazae-san: even lamer
6.Detective Conan: great idea, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, end it
7.Kochikame: how is this on the list?
8.Chibi Makuro-chan: dear God
9.Full Metal Alchemist: great manga, nothing to complain
10.Hana Yori Danshi/Dango:soap opera in manga form
So yeah, most of these are crap to anyone else then the Japanese who have the strangest tastes.
Found one FMA fanboy.
said by someone with a weeboo name....
4.Doraemon: lame as hell
Someone here doesn't have a childhood.
I did not grow up with Doraemon. We didn't have any cartoons here until after the communist regime ended in '89, and even then, the first Japanese animation wasn't shown here until '93 (Voltron). So yeah, almost no Romanians like Doraemon, since they didn't watch it as a kid, and nostalgia is the ONLY thing that Doraemon has going for itself.
What the hell is sad with that?
I haven't seen or read Doraemon myself, but from what I've heard it's a great kid's show, and as long as you have an interest in animation and an eye for quality things like that are always entertaining.
Comment by DmonHiro: blah So yeah, almost no Romanians like Doraemon blah
So JAPANESE manga ranking that is aimed at Japanese audience should conform to Romanian's liking by your logic right? Got it.
You mean you are a grown man who just discovered Doraemon and you love it? Sad.
Nah, I meant as a grown man who like it more than when he was a little boy. Because only when he was a grown man could he appreciate the more subtle humor, the touching moments and the sober view on life and living.
You know what's truly sad? People missing those things because they only see a glimpse of the surface and went lollamekiddyshow.
Nostalgia?
As someone who actually didn't even like Doraemon until he reread them recently, I am very much against this statement.
lol someones bitter for not having his favorite naruto on the list.. :3
narutard detected!!
"Doraemon: lame as hell"
I bet you haven't even read the manga properly before bashing it, and it IS targeted at the younger audiences. You don't see me calling you "lame, pathetic and ugly" when I don't even know you do you?
You aren't "everyone else", so no, I'd say that it is possible to not be Japanese and enjoy some of these manga.
1.Slam Dunk: Best sport manga/anime i've watched and read imo.
2.One Piece: Cool despite i'm not really a fan of it.
3.Dragonball: Cool.. until i found that it the story and character have no sense of humanity, and too much steroids..
4.Doraemon: Childhood classic.
5.Sazae-san: Never read it.
6.Detective Conan: Years passed and nobody even feel suspicious on Maori's ventriloquist act.
7.Kochikame: Unfamiliar
8.Chibi Makuro-chan: Don't like it but i respect it as a memorable classic.
9.Full Metal Alchemist: Essence of Greatness.
10.Hana Yori Danshi/Dango: Why? You want to say that soap opera should be in manga?
I approve Slamdunk, an epic classic manga that featured an underdog delinquent who improved himself in the sport instead of being senseless and illogical Super sportmen like Tsubasa and Echizen Ryouma..
Hell yeah! Slam Dunk and Dragonball! :D
Whole lot of suck there!
proof that japan likes to be dicked around every week on a series that never really ends until popularity deems it worthless.
i concur even though thats 50% true. needs naruto, bleach and hajime no ippo for you to speak the absolute truth.
i might understand HNI , but Naruto and Bleach are different issues , esp Bleach when it's bombarding too much loopholes , and the sad part my friend is , that's a fact.
dango*
wow....half of those are crap.
Thanks for being biased about only GUY things when it clearly states both GUYS and GIRLS, Your opinion is fail
1. Slam Dunk - Good
2. One Piece - Best
3. Dragonball - Good
4. Doraemon - Good
5. Sazae-san - Crap
6. Detective Conan - Crap
7. Kochikame - Crap
8. Chibi Maruko-chan - Crap
9. Full Metal Alchemist - Good
10. Hana Yori Danshi - Crap
OMFG! U r fucking right!!
I seriously doubt you've read all 10 of those and, personally, I'd say One Piece was crap.
Typical internet dipshit who disses everything he's never even glanced at...the fact that you rate only shounen highly (and fucking One Piece as "Best") says a WHOLE lot about you.
^ agreed. Lol @ One Piece being best
Detective Conan is NOT crap. It's one of the few series that encourage you to use your braincells.
This guy doesn't even know what he's rating. It's Hana Yori Dango, and you're an ignorant little douche.
Giving a classic manga a horrible and biased rating has nothing to do with puns so why don't you stfu.
lol...retarded otaku
1. Slam Dunk – Decent.
2. One Piece – Shit.
3. Dragonball – GREAT.
4. Doraemon – Cultural Artifact.
5. Sazae-san – Legend.
6. Detective Conan – Nice.
7. Kochikame – Yawn.
8. Chibi Maruko-chan – Alright.
9. Full Metal Alchemist – Boring.
10. Hana Yori Danshi – Decent.
It's a pun you ignorant douche.
And by crap do you mean that they have a storyline? Of there, the only one I can see of the original fighting genre is dragon ball. All the other are good and has what Shueisha calls sure win formula, which was started by Slam Dunk. Friendship, rivalry, good story and love. Those what makes a good manga.
They are lacking in the ultra-violence and sex department though.
wait... one piece has a story?
QTF
+5
this is the real deal , not a suck-da-story fanservice. You guys have to admit , most of them indeed have a real story as a manga and not some crap put-sex-everywhere-and-make-no-sense story that everyone seems to love.
Slum Dunk FTW!!!!
LOLz! Not Slum Dog Millionaire, I meant Slam Dunk xD
You are probably one of the significant few who thought of that sad excuse of a film from misinterpreting a simple typo.
Which makes it even more pathetic, amirite?
That wasn't a typo.
You are probably one of the INSIGNIFICANT few who thought of that sad excuse of a film from misinterpreting a simple typo.
Fixed
"Slam Dunk"
Do not want.
Just slam this guy.. Slam Dunk is great anime..
It's a good anime, little funny & exciting.
why the fuck do you keep talking about anime when the ranking is about manga?
