Wow, KuroBasu and Magi on the top 20 manga for men??? Ahahahahahhahaaaa, they have no idea….
Shingeki no Kyojin way behind Kuroko no Basket?
Nah, that ranking is bullshit.
Tera Formars is pretty bad. You can see what kind of material inspired the author right away but what pains me is the “aliens” design and the “abilities” (no weapons ?!) given to the kids to fight them. It’s so lame and unrealistic that when you are given facts about an insect, you wonder if it’s true, bullshit or if the author is extrapolating just a bit.
I can’t believe this is in the tops.
Love how Japan is predicting the most amazing manga in a year that hasn’t even come out yet.
Are you dumb? These books come out every year and always have the next year in the title. The Guiness Book of Records does the exact same thing.
“Mustard Chocolate”
oh… oh god no.
