Top 10 Manga of 2009: Demographic Breakdown

Well, Skip Beat is on there, so at least people like SOMETHING good.

1. ONE PIECE

2. NARUTO

3. Full Metal Alchemist

4. BLEACH

Atma is rolling in her grave :\

hahahhaha will one piece ever end???

can't believe one piece is so popular over there.

the women's rankings i have no problem with (nodame cantabile i hear was amazing, though i've never seen or read it).

men's, fucking hell the world is soooo coming to an end, well maybe just japan

one piece everywhere.. damn.. one piece all the way!!!

One Piece is the new standard for shonen, and all the faggots should go to hell! They're lames & worthless! Anon bet they didn't even bother to read it! Fail!

Its funny to see Americans Talk about whats good manga and bad manga.
You guys should go back to your comic books

zipang is so much win.

i'm delighted about one piece being No 1 =)

Also seeing Naruto and Bleach in positions that ppl consider unfair is even better =)

about the other mangas its nice to know that ppl in jap have different tastes, i think i've read more than the half of those in that list and they are good

also i'm impressed that i thought i was the only one in the world reading VAGABOND huh oh surprise

Wow, what a load of crap... Berserk might be the only manga worth picking up out of those lists.

Berserk should have higher rankings. It's friggin awesome (and has phallus and vaginas)

woW d.GRAYM-MAN is still vigent I hope more chapters for th emanga ;_;

Bet you one piece made it to the top cuz of the boat scene. *sniff* that was sad.

And yes I know Clannad or air or someother Serious romance genre is much more heart wrenching but it is rare for me to feel this way towards a shounen character, specially one that is inanimate.

Some list fo' light novels?

this manga demographic breakdown is interesting =3

pshh~ @ Shounen titles XD

Heh. I guess everyone believes that their taste is better than any other sentient being in the universe.

ONE PIECE CONQUERS ALL

from what i can see, i conclude that

Men 0 - 10

1. to love ru

Kimi ni todoke and Skip Beat are awesome~ glad to see that they're enjoying pretty good popularity <3

Sweet Negima and FullMetal *thumbs up*

No gantz? :(

I adore Yatsubato. I'm glad it gets as much love as all these other manga. I'm a bit blown away by the Naruto popularity though. I can understand One Piece being on top, but I would always expect to see the Bleach on top of Naruto any day. Better art, better characterization, and a story that can actually be followed, plus a legit excuse for everyone to be using over the top magic and skills.

One Piece is legend, I'm not surprised that it managed to made it's way to the top.

Yay for Negima! & Kamen Rider Spirits ? Well yeah, look at the age group...40 - 50, guess there's still a lot of old school rider-fans out there.

I'm a rider-fan too ! :3

I half expected the opening picture to be Luffy extending his penis....

that's right, us teens love our to love ru!

At least us women got it right. Gintama rocks! I laugh so hard when reading it. ^_^

Those who hate one piece and havent read it up to chapter 80 should fall in a bottomless pit with spikes on the wall while flamethrowers flame them until their vital organs show which will spread out and be ripped to pieces by the spikes. I'm sorry but people who hate by first impressions suck.
In another point, One piece has Nico Robin, the most hottest mature female in all animes and mangas.

I got every one of the top 10 right. Well, not in any particular order, but all the ones I thought of showed up all the same.

Fujoshi love Sanji x Zoro slash doujins!

One piece on top!! Banzai !Banzai

Naruto seems especially popular with the kids so what does that say about you freaks that like that bag of balls? You're all fat and about 40 yet share their mindsets and maturity.

woot for kimi ni todoke :3

the anime has just come out this month, w00t

one piece is crap.

one piece can own you

one piece owns
one piece=badass,kickass,epic,lots of ownage scenarios,
AWESOME

bleach is SHIT & it is more shittier now
naruto sucks>for gays & girls or naruto have 70% gay fans

gay trolls>be a man,try one piece

One Piece is an excellent manga, my favourite by far.

Naruto was on its level a few years ago, but now has become very very bad.

Bleach just sucks period.

Full Metal Alchemist is pretty good.
Negima and Hunter x Hunter are amazing.

Tenjo Tenge sucks really hard, not as much as Bleach though.

Vagamond, Beserk and BASTARD!! are superb seinen mangas.

There you have it, a 100% objective rating of all the mangas I've read on these lists.

one piece wins. haters just don't know enough about it.

The main reason I didn't like One Piece its becaused I have no time to watch it, yet even read the manga itself.

ah...Naruto. no worry, i love it...one piece, and bleach too...well mainstream mangas are nice

i can't believe peoples talk about majority in japan and hell yes one piece ftw. but when they see naruto. oh its sucks and don't see, that its in same league as one piece in popularity, sales. not on the top of course but still on number two or three and that's also damn majority in japan and proven facts even you how much hate it its still there dominating other series if not one piece.

btw don't say i havn't read one piece or some other series. i have read 612 op and 525 naruto and 434 bleach chapters (released until now) and 50% other series in the top 10 list.

so to all those retards, who just know how to troll. just get over the facts, peoples have different taste. don't force your opinion on others.

Needs more Conan-kuun.

xDDD Kuroshitsuji sure is popular

(author of one piece)Oda's speech

in order to preserve this, we have to keep moving forward, even though there might be some who have the delusion that once you've reached popularity, you can just stop at that point and work on routine. But if you do that, you're no longer "preserving" - you're "regressing". To release repetitions is the same as releasing old stuff."

Even entering your eleventh year of serialization, you're still burning with enthusiasm for manga.

"I always want to keep creating something that's better than what I've ever done before. Of course, if you want more people to read your creation, you need to have that feeling"

lol apology accepted
& one piece is only half away done now 2009
12 years>manga 1 decade>anime,coz the fucking author
want to make 1000+chapters so another 10 years or so to come for OP,lets see how will Oda keep this pace for upcoming years
it's fucking popular starting from the first chapter until now
& it's still the most popular
tremendously popular & still fucking epic strong
& the latest arc is so fucking epic & epicness overflowing every chapter
& other fans said(they'll become senior citizens,when OP reach it's climax lol)

One Piece,as always on top for fucking 12 years,
it's fucking popular until now,12 years
yeah I tried reading it,coz I'm curious why Japanese love it so much & my result is
(one piece is fucking epic)
the author knows,how to do it,unlike other mangaka,
one piece is just keeps getting better & better,it outdone s other manga storyline/plot,and this words coming from an anon up there,whose saying one piece sucks,ok ok I know,I'm wrong,my bad,saying it sucks,I didn't even read it,props for one piece & my apologies for OP fans

yeah the author of one piece is epic
imagine what upcoming epic arcs like,to surpass his previous arcs,& this latest arc is so fucking epic,
I don't know how will Oda surpass this
& Boa Hancock
the hottest girl ever made

It's because most anime watchers are prepubescent.

It's funny that FMA is in every demographic's list except for the 10-20 year old girls. Shows that teenage girls don't have much interest in a complex plot or politics lol.

One Piece is the only series that I absolutely love.

One Piece was good at start, then it turn out shit now (after over 100 eps).

onepiece is classic, fit for every age (safe, no sexual explicit, no H, maybe it has but not heavy and tolerable), and easy reading even for casual reader.

It's reasonable they take first and owning in every place
but, I agree. one piece is TOO OVERRATED! (man... I hate fanboys/girls)

wtf don't mix one piece anime with its manga. whilst the manga is top-notch, the anime is friggin horrible.damn that studio,their work could hurt the reputation of the manga.

omg how is One Piece first, One Piece is horrible Soul Eater should be first followed by Death Note and Black Cat XD

op, saikou;

I don't understand why everyone in Japan is so mad about One Piece, it's so confused

Where's New Prince of Tennis?
I thought it would at lest show up at women.
Well, it has only started though...

I'm surprised there's so much One Piece love on this site. There's no lolis in One Piece!

How come Gintama is not in the male charts?
All those moe idiots """"""

EHHH?
What's with the popularity for bleach and naruto for women?
I honestly thought those two would be in top two,
especially Naruto?
And what's so great about One Piece,
I never seemed to like it.

One Piece is in a whole other league. They should just take it off those boards for embarrassing the other 9. I'd probably /wrist if my manga always ranked second behind an "overrated" beast of a manga.

Shit is thrashing the boards, hitting like Mike Tyson

One Piece isn't overrated or underrated. It is simply perfect across the board. It's a prime example of how to do a story/anime right. It has SOOOO many elements that can be applied to any other anime to make them better. ALL HAIL THE GREATNESS THAT IS ONE PIECE!!!

Glass No Kamen?
Isn't the author dead already?

Women 40-50?

BLEACH!!!???? What!!??

O_O

Damn...... My world's gone to the flip side.

Not so related, but the artist upthere do the art work design for Taimanin Asagi and Kangoku Senkan. Recognize at first glance =)

How did Naruto make it on any of the men's list past the first one?

Why One Piece is so fascinating? Because it's Adventure! Each arc they discover a new world, get a new 'nakama', learn his/her tragic past, and go for some new Adventure again! Each boys & men dream about discover new inexplored territories, that's One Piece!

Aww...no guys like Gintama enough to make it into the top 10. LOL

whats tenjo tenka?!?
