A recent survey of battle manga fans reveals just which action manga have the hottest and most manful battles.
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…

F**K NO! I SAY BERSERK, THEN GANTZ
Fist of the North Star is very manry!
"kakarot !!!"
"vegeta !!!"
*rawr, bang !*
"sasuke !!!"
"naruto !!!"
*rawr, bang*
...=D
Hello kitty ftw
^ WHAT
and never forget about tengen toppa gurren lagann :D
Cobra needed to be on this list, the guy smokes cigars that are hand grenades.
Also I agree with everyone that mentions Jojo and Golgo.
WTB BERSERK, GANTZ, BLACK LAGOON and CARDCAPTOR SAKURA!
Ahahahaha sakura chan is manlier than many men! good one, vagabond basilisk champloo and GURREN LAGANN GTO are also among the manliest mangas out there
WTF!!@ naruto seriously there is not 1 muscle bound character there. thus meaning NOT MANLY
My thinking is that the teen and twenties strata overwhelmingly voted for Naruto, ensuring it got onto the list, even if everyone older selected "proper" manly manga like Fist of the North Star, which might not have been read by many younger readers.
YATATATATATATATA
It's probably not just the age thing. People will only vote for manga they've read, so popularity will naturally push titles near the top.
Plus, I'm sure there are plenty of 45 year old men reading Naruto.

wow, the answers is right under your nose
I'm surprised that Berserk didn't make the list.
And while we are at it, Gurren Lagann and Gaogaigar isn't in the list either.
@ anon 30-09-2009 14:29, come to think of it you're right but I never read it.
Gurren Lagann and Gaogaigar is not in there?
That poll obviously asked the wrong crowd.
I like gurren but
Their talking about manga
Ippo, it deserves it. But what I don't get it how Shura no Mon and Naruto got on there....Okay I'll let Shura no Mon go but Naruto? Hell no, should've atleast had Berserk up there for Christ sake.
WTF WHERES FAIRY TAIL
i dare you to say that lee isn't manly once more
Compared to Kenshiro? Pfft.
talk about de manga, not characters, besides him, all the characters in naruto are fags,(and cliché) faggy naruto and emosasuke pfffff
Lee fights in his pajamas, whoever that kenshiro is I bet he doesn't do that and it rates him as U for Unmanly
U for unmanly
wutz kenshiro?
still wutz up with no one piece?
And I get the idea that atefact may not liek naruto =C
Kenshiro doesn't need to fight in pajamas because hes not retarded.
How the fuck is Gurren Lagann a "hot fighting manga"!? It was comical, but the battles were nowhere NEAR the epic fights of Hokuto no Ken, DragonBall or Hajime no Ippo.
Gosh, some people have no taste..
Ha ha Kenshiro explodes people with his fist! Explodes them into little bloody chunks of people meat, and he does it thousands of times. He is so GAR that he practically killed the evil population of the entire world with his fist.
Maybe those surveyed had really short attention spans, and only remembered Killerbee and the Raikage?
fcourse you never forget a niggas face xD
=C
Yet further evidence that democracy is useless.

Naruto is childish half the time, so I have to agree! lol
Where's Berserk @_@
Great pic. Muten Roshi, the strongest pervert ever. My idol and paragon. ^_^
No Gantz, or Vagabond, or Berserk? Naruto is manly? Shit. If Naruto made that list how the hell did Bleach and One piece not? Fucking retards.
no Jojo's bizarre adventure? MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA
