The Oricon survey asked 500 Japanese males, even split between those in their teens, twenties, thirties and forties, what they thought “the hottest battle manga” was; the results are as follows:
1. Dragonball
2. Hajime no Ippo
3. Ashita no Joe
4. Kinniku Man
5. Fist of the North Star
6. Tiger Mask
7. Grappler Baki
8. Kidousenshi Gundam
9. Naruto
10. Shura no Mon
Some might wonder at Naruto and Gundam creeping into the rankings, even while the likes of Berserk remain absent…

Where's Riki-Oh?
I bet he could take on the whole cast of Naruto and live to tell the tale.
This list sucks, those asked had awful opinions.
Bottle Fairies FTW!!!!!!1111
dont you mean bondage fairies..?? thats a pretty manly manga..!! hentai manga...
No, sure he meant bottle fairies. That one part where the animal mascot nearly got beheaded with a bamboo sword was BRUTAL! :p
wow this is a lame list save for baki, fist of the northstar and maybe dragonball
Where the fuck is Shamo, Riki Oh, and god damn Berserk?
Why is Dragonball #1? Why is Kinikku Man up there?'
Manly manga is about MANLY FUCKING SPIRIT!!
Where the fuck is Shamo, Riki Oh, and god damn Berserk?
Why is Dragonball #1? Why is Kinikku Man up there?'
Manly manga is about MANLY FUCKING SPIRIT!
the fuk?! i watch naruto nd even i say it deserves 50th tops, not 9
HAJIME NO IPPO SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE!!!!!!
but Dragon Ball has too much historic weight, lol
WHERE IS HOKUTO NO KEN?!
hokuto no ken is more widely known as "FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR!!!"
I can't believe Berserk is not on that list.
Gundam and Naruto are manly???!!!!
I have no problem with Gundam, IMHO.Naruto...
let's just say I'd cry out FFFFFFUUUUUUU
Well,it's they standard, not MINE!!!
Shura no Mon was great. I hope they eventually continue it... (._.)
It would have been nice to see Mahou Sensei Negima. Even with a huge cast of girls, it's made up with guys like Jack Rakan and Fate. Though there's obviously much more manlier manga that deserved to be on this list.
By that standard, Azumanga Daioh could have made the list, just for the Badass antics of Kamineko and Mayaa.
Methinks it's the series, more than the supporting cast.
Naruto? Manly?
What? No One Piece? That's crap! I demand a recount.
YOU'RE A RECOUNT..!!!!! ONE PIECE IS LAME!!!
DIE!!!!!!!!!
Clearly not enough people read 'Blame!'.
Having Naruto on that list makes that this a useless poll. That of course is ignoring the part Kenshiro isn't in the top spot.
Come on, the manga breathes manliness. Not even Naruto's entire cast combined could match up to Raoh: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0d/Raoh_%28Hokuto_no_Ken%29.jpg [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0d/Raoh_(Hokuto_no_Ken).jpg]
Hokuto, the other titles... shit!
here's how the list should've been.. ahem
1. Fist of the northstar
2. Grappler Baki ((all sagas))
3. Golgo 13
4. Cobra aka space adventure cobra
5. tenjho tenge
6. history's strongest disciple kenichi
7. battle vixens aka ikki tousen
8. ghost in the shell
9. basilisk
10. dragonball Z
now thats a manly ass list.!!! one may not be a fan of all those manga but dammit most of em if not all are very VERY manly manga!!
+1000 points for mentioning Basilisk :3
AWESOME list.. but you forgot Saiga Riki-Oh.. !!!!
Good List. It bears mention that Major Kusanagi is one of the manliest
characters of any series.
Despite, you know, not being a man and all.
tenjho tenge on your list agreed
that's stupid bullcrap!
everybody knows the manliest is TAKAKAZU ABE!!!
KUSO MISO TECHNIQUE ROX!!!
i lol'd at naruto.
shit sux
naruto manly wtf??? naruto is a sissy manga
hajime no ippo should be nr 1
and why orange ninja Naruto is manly ??
Needs moar "Bastard!"
And I'm not talking about Naruto.
2nded
Bastard sucks!Berserk Rules!
Considering that alot of popular shonen manga nowadays are specifically made to appeal to both their original audience (males), but also to females (especially fujoshi), I'm suprised to see any recent manga on the list.
And of any of them, I would have never expected Naruto to be the one picked for a short list of "manliest manga."
Naruto is manly?? WTF
What about Shamo and Worst?!?!?!?!?
Or even Zero for that matter??????
Though Baki is the shit!
All 10 should just be Fist of the North Star. Or more like Fist of the North Gar!
Needs moar Berserk, JoJo.
No Kaiji, Akagi, or One Outs? Bullshit.
naruto? seriously? With faggots like Sasuke around?
WHOA!!!! SOMEONE'S GAY!!!!!!
HOW IN THE FUCK IS FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR and BAKI THE GRAPPLER NOT IN FIRST PLACE?!?!?!!? HUH..!?!?!
THIS WORLD IS A MAJORITY OF LILY LIVERED SISSIES.. FUCK NARUTO.. FUCK GUNDAM!! FUCK DRAGON BALL!!!!
FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR.. GRAPPLER BAKI..MANLINESS TO THE MUTHAFUCKIN' MAX!!!
No Eyeshield 21? There is nothing more manly than a manga about FOOTBALL!
YAY FOOTBALL!
uh yeah its called going out and playing it and watching it.. or coaching it.. or making a film about it..or hell almost anything else thats exists in the world that aint gay
besides only wannabes READ about football!! HAHAHAHAAAA!!!
Football?WTF?!How about a manga that was approved and supported by the NFL on both sides of the Pacific.Yes,I'm talking about Eyeshield 21.Now what kind of manga can achieved that?Did you Hear Any soccer manga that was approved by FIFA?No?Even Captain Tsubasa?
See? NFL had more balls than FIFA.
"Some might wonder at Naruto and Gundam creeping into the rankings, even while the likes of Berserk remain absent"
Yea right? Berserk seems more manlier than the 2 tittles put together.
Anyways, being a onepiece faq here, I'm rather disappointed it didn't make in the top 10 here.
yeah i agree you sure are a one piece faq ..oops forgot to turn that q into a g.. bwaaaahahaaaa!!
How can you forget City Hunter?
yeah city hunter is super manly.. i mean jackie chan even made a comical film adaptation though admittedly didnt retain much of what the manga was really about was still very comical and entertaining..
well atleast until seeing jackie chan dressed in drag as chun-li.. it made me wanna throw up and that was very unmanly.. cause REAL men aka MANLY men NEVER dress in drag!!! not even as a joke!!! im lookin at you great britain!!!!!
Needs more Riki-Oh, M.D. Geist and Golgo 13. List fucking fails.
Naruto? What the fuck?
Where the hell is Berserk and Gantz?!
Were the hell is Hokuto no ken???
It´s five men
WTF?!? Naruto the weeper? is freaking manly? gtfo!!!!
It is a crime against the fabric of the universe that JOJO isn't up there.
Sooo
Gundam, naruto are more manly than other ones right?
one piece? berserk?
FFS touhou is more manly than naruto with just 1 male character(plus a cloud and a turtle)
I recommend Berserk,Devils man + Amon,Guyver,Gintama, JoJo,One Piece,Rurouni Kenshin and Saint Seiya for the top 20
forgot to add HunterXhunter and Vagabond
Kidousenshi Gundam? you mean,The very first Gundam?
how? was it because of....Ryu?
Ya I agree What the hell is Naruto doing before Berserk!!!
all this survey did was prove that Japan had no concept of what masculinity was.
Dragonball? mORE THE MOST GAYEST since Dragonball Z
WHERE THE FUCK IS KAIJI? The fucking manliest anime ever!
misleading title as usual...
I bet "Cheeky Angel" is more manly than naruto...
Where is 20th Century Boys?
Nothing is manlier than a group of regular and common guys facing a powerful and raising cult that threatens to destroy the entire world
..... Azumanga Daioh ....... * cough *
Someone of u guys are retards. It's not the top 10 most mannly mangas. It's the top 10 mangas that "Has the hottest and most manful battles".
How the fuck is there no jojo's bizarre adventure
Shura no Mon? That should not belong in a manly top10 but in martial arts top3 (best one as far as I'm concerned).
Ippo is fine, although there is the same level of "gayness" that Ippo has for Miyata, as Naruto has for Sasuke... but at least in Ippo, it's not THAT obvious... O_o o_O
How is Naruto the fag fest "the manliest manga"?
N-na-naruto?!?!?!
You just got to be kidding.
They find a show where the the main antagonist is a fag, followed by his lover who is a evil emo, manly?
Even kusomisoshiro is manlier than that!
Why the fuck is Naruto on here and One Piece isn't?
I mean fuck, Bleach might even be manlier... I dunno. I guess Naruto beats bleach but One Piece is very manly.
Seriously...
No Berserk? No Akumetsu? No JoJo's?
That's TOO disappointing, Japan...
Wow, Gatts get the shaft while Naruto and the pretty boy Gundam casts get the "manly" approval?
Naruto is a load of pussy. The most manly manga is totally Berserk and Fist of the North Star.
TTGL doesn't have anything manly in it, only hyper-active manchildren.
where the fuck is gurren lagann
In a robot battle Gurren Lagann would totally pawned Gundam mobile suits ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME.
How in God's name did Shigurui not make it?
Lets name some manga or anime that are missing shall we?
Lupin the Third, Bastard, Berserk, Kenichi the Strongest Disciple, Gurren Lagann, Genkigengar, Mazinkaiser ...smeg, alot of the older 80's and 90's series were FULL of testoterone....
....Naruto disappoints me as it simply is more rebellious despite it constantly attempts to look "bad-ass".
...half the time Naruto's as bad-ass as a box of marshmellows
i pick Lupin the third.. thats a manly fuckin manga!!
No Rokudenashi Blues or Yu Yu Hakusho?
Why no Afro Samurai? And yes he does have a manga.
http://www.gomanga.com/manga/afrosamurai.php
i dont think afro has enough chapters in his manga to really be given a spot.. but he's fuckin manly
Naruto manly?
That's gotta be a joke.
Psst...Vegeta. Mind telling me how many votes are in for Dragon Ball?
Vegeta: *Smashes Scouter* "Guess..."
Oh, okay. Over 9000.
I could make a comment on how this is a Battle Manga list and it doesn't have enough Man Manga to qualify as a Man Manga list, but I'll simply reserve judgement and say this...ahem...
Awesome pic of Kame-Senin. Those muscles could beat Freeza...at 100%.
LOL!!!! over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good one dude
HAJIME NO IPPO YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Initial D, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Lupin III
Apparently there's also a top listing for most powerful characters.
Goku is #1. Coincidence?
Is Ippo stronger than kenshiro??
lol no gantz?
Hokuto no ken should be #2 next to dragonball.
WTF? Wheres Initail D?
Wtf is Naruto doing there?!
Exactly wtf IS Naruto doing there..And where's Onizuka??!
