Even the likes of Doraemon has finally been displaced from the ranks of the most kiddy-friendly manga Japanese parents want their remaining offspring reading, to be replaced by the likes of One Piece, Naruto and even Silver Spoon – although a certain titanic blockbuster of recent years is still yet to make its scale felt.
The ranking, based on a digital publisher’s survey of child owners for national child reading promotion day (which apparently includes manga in Japan):
1. One Piece
2. Doraemon
3. Gin no Saji
4. Dragon Ball
5. Phoenix
6. Barefoot Gen
7. Space Brothers
8. Slam Dunk
9. Naruto
10. Chihayafuru

You se, there is absolutelly no fanservice anime here………….that is really awesome. (at least no 100% fanservice s♥♥t anime, that is for sure)
Saint Seiya??????????????????
BULL s♥♥t!!!
how is Natsume yuujinchou not on the list? It is a fantastic manga and anime.
Why isn’t there any shojo on this list? Girls like reading too.
Can girls only read shojo? I’d like to think girls just like to read good manga just like other humans. But I’m a guy and I watched/read shojo manga/anime as a kid like Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura so good manga is universal regardless of the audience.
