3. Ashita no Joe
4. Kinniku Man
5. Fist of the North Star
6. Tiger Mask
7. Grappler Baki
8. Kidousenshi Gundam
9. Naruto

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.
wow this is a lame list save for baki, fist of the northstar and maybe dragonball
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
What? No One Piece? That's crap! I demand a recount.
YOU'RE A RECOUNT..!!!!! ONE PIECE IS LAME!!!
DIE!!!!!!!!!
Naruto? Manly?
Well,it's they standard, not MINE!!!
I can't believe Berserk is not on that list.
WHERE IS HOKUTO NO KEN?!
hokuto no ken is more widely known as "FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR!!!"
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!!
Gundam and Naruto are manly???!!!!
I have no problem with Gundam, IMHO.Naruto...
let's just say I'd cry out FFFFFFUUUUUUU
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!!!!!
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
Clearly not enough people read 'Blame!'.
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.
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!
HAJIME NO IPPO SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE!!!!!!
but Dragon Ball has too much historic weight, lol
Shura no Mon was great. I hope they eventually continue it... (._.)
hajime no ippo should be nr 1
and why orange ninja Naruto is manly ??
naruto manly wtf??? naruto is a sissy manga
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."
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.
Needs moar "Bastard!"
And I'm not talking about Naruto.
2nded
Bastard sucks!Berserk Rules!
i lol'd at naruto.
shit sux
What about Shamo and Worst?!?!?!?!?
Or even Zero for that matter??????
Though Baki is the shit!
Needs moar Berserk, JoJo.
Naruto is manly?? WTF
All 10 should just be Fist of the North Star. Or more like Fist of the North Gar!
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 Kaiji, Akagi, or One Outs? Bullshit.
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
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.
+1000 points for mentioning Basilisk :3
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!!
tenjho tenge on your list agreed
that's stupid bullcrap!
everybody knows the manliest is TAKAKAZU ABE!!!
KUSO MISO TECHNIQUE ROX!!!
