Eyebrows have been raised at the news that the fourth most popular manga in Russia is apparently one “Lolicon Phoenix,” rather that the usual generic shonen title expected.
Naturally the list is headed by the usual suspects, but the first unusual suspect to feature is something of a surprise:
1. Naruto
2. Death Note
3. Bleach
4. Lolicon Phoenix
5. +Anima
6. Full Metal Alchemist
7. Chrono Crusade
8. Angel Sanctuary
9. One Piece
10. Sailor Moon
For those understandably concerned about the content of such a title there is little to be reassured by – the story focuses on the antics of a dirty NEET as he tries to save a tender young schoolgirl from the attentions of a group of lolicon.
As a number of commenters have noted, there is nothing approaching an official popularity ranking for manga in Russia – each ranking is in fact different and just about all are equally unreliable. With no detailed data this list probably also needs to be taken strictly as is…

Why is Russia so fucking awesome?
It is not man, not at all.
They're awesome for socially accepting a lolicon manga as an entire nation while the country where the material originated from is waging war on the matter.
In mother Russia; The NEETs rape the Lolicons!
This is how you protect the 2D loli, not by banning them.
Yes, we will all become MUSS and learn martial arts and become costumed vigilantes to stop the abductor molesters!
It's a good managa.
Sailor Moon! Good mangas never die, they just resurface every now and then.
What baffles me more is that Naruto and Bleach are in the top 3 while One Piece only is in 9th place... THIS IS BLASPHEMY!
Haha, this is a very amusing manga. Highly recommended and not just for lolicons. XD
I love this series, I really do.
Perhaps the Russians would help Japan in defending America's anti-loli crusade.......and perhaps start WWIII while they're at it -_-. Heh, WWIII started by lolis.
Why not..? There are plenty of reasons to start war ranging from human stupidity to oppression from another country since the days of old...
Banning loli falls under oppression~
Naruto is overrated...
no shit sherlock
But LCP is not. We should have a tag for it.

Also you can't find such manga in print in Russia.So all you will read in Russia is just scans downloaded from net. Publishing houses is so weak that is to late talkink about something like THAT in print.
AniManga, russian manga translations.

LOL! That one is even a bigger fake! The list posted by Artefact is all over the news! Besides, we don't think that you're from Russia. Why don't you show us the site where you get yours you liar?
I've forgot to post this in main message.

Я из России, будьте уверены. ;)

You know, I learned something today. That is, not just World Art has credible Russian manga rating.
.... I read Phoenix all Vol.
i laugehd me my loung out~ long before this post came.
So yay,
Russians are now officialy a second Home to use Lolicon's XD.
But seriously i never thought about "that" Manga to get as populare as to be next to Bleach und co X.x..
I've read this about a year ago.. Quite funny but A little disappointing that the manga actually kinda focus a lil' bit more on dirty jokes about men genitals instead of loli fanservice.
The main loli is really cute and Phoenix-san is baddass though.
Really? This it? Man, they really have to read Jump more...
Come to think of it, most of it are from Jump.
Why would I care about russian AIDS?
Cause in soviet russia AIDS has YOU!
A non-lolicon NEET, saving a little girl from lolicons? Sounds like science-fiction to me... I'm highly interested.
No, no. It's a lolicon neet protecting his loli waifu from other lolicons - probably inspired by 2ch >_<
Lolicon NEET probably has a 2D complex, 3D lolis are safe...
Russians have good taste
I know I do.
Insert Soviet Russia joke here
Actually not big number of manga were officially translated in Russian.
HAH that is for those who believe that loli manga is bad, this one give out a good message of protecting childs
Lolicon Phoenix is Best Phoenix. ^_^
Thats just bullshit-_- i never seen that one here....and i've read it like 1-2 years ago on the net...it's just rubbish...funny sometimes but not that much...
Speaking of funny loli, suddenly i remembered Yotsubato! That girl's awesome.
*reread Yotsubato!*
Totally!There are a hell load of much better gag mangas....like Yotsubato for example-_-
I'd prefer Kodomo no Jikan myself...
KnJ is certainly more serious, but I think they both have things to add. The protagonist Aoki sensei (and I think even Reiji counts even if he has his troubles, he's like Ryoga basically) has more realistic feelings and apprehensions and a normal job and responsibilities and so forth.
It's not black and white since KnJ doesn't have the clear villainous archtype that LP has, less sensational and more slice of life.
It named in russian "Абсолютный Лоликон"
Что, серьезно? Где купить?
O, rly? Where to buy?
Качать, перевод есть только любительский.
и тут этот чорный бильярдный шар :3
Я.
Некоторые предполагают даже, что пишут с аккаунта несколько человек, потому как в онлайне 24/7. Надоели они мне уже все ._.
ничего лично против тебя не имею, просто несколько неожиданно было встретить на санкаку, дурная слава приклеилась
а вообще на том же хабре полно троллей с кармой >50, потому как она отражает мнение большинства (95%) пользователей сайта, и вполне нормальных людей минусуют за мнение, отличное от мнения большинства
и тут этот чорный бильярдный шар :)
И как же это Японцы оценили популярность манги, если у нас ее не издают?
+1 в перепись. Странный список; не верю я в этот 4й пункт.
Поучаствую в переписи русских анонов. ^^
Список явно бредовый, хоть всё из него я знаю и Naruto на первом месте смотрится правдоподобно.
Вообще, никогда не слышал о такой манге...
Damn, it's not even licensed in Russia, how the fuck did they found about it's popularity? =) And Naruto, Bleach - can't argue with that, this shit is everywhere.
пошли нахуй с моего уютненького
Ололо
Как вы понимаете, сколько анонов отписалось?
Плюсадин штоле...
ахахаха. В рашке покупать мангу вообще смысла нет. Дорого и галимый перевод. Хотя я бы кусок почитал бы в печатном виде.
ps лол, действиттельно перепись анонов.
Ой, балда. Издают и ещё как, хоть на store.otaku.ru полазь. Но мало.
Любительских переводов, конечно, больше. Открой раздел рутрекера хотя бы.
Понятия не имею, кто и как оценивал.
Да устроили опрос на каком-нибудь бложике наверное, всеравно все читают скачанную.
продолжаем перепись русских анонов на санкаку.
Внезапно!
I LOL'D
I hate Cyrillic letters.
Я тоже.
