Top10-ParentSelected-Manga-ForChildren-1

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

    Gin No Saji is so random. Why is it on this list?

    If some Manga mess up your kids brain(eg. NEET), there's a fail-safe manga such as Gin no Sagi.

    ie. Become a farmer.

    PS: I recently applied for agriculture diploma at local university after reading Gin no Sagi. My NEET days is coming to an end. :D

    Japan do need some farmers to keep rural areas populated. Many places become ghost towns because the last farmers died of old age.

    Wouldn't a NEET diploma be preferable under any conditions, however?

    Eiichirō Oda is at least twice as old as most of his readers. Do you really think he'll outlive them?

    The funny part is Oda originally planned for it to run for five years but was having "too much fun" (steady paycheck) to stop.

    He did say the manga was about halfway finished around the time episode 500 of the anime was airing so maybe, MAYBE we'll see the end in another 10-15 years.

    One Piece will teach my kids that Somali pirates are the good guys and that they have big breasted women.

    Dragon Ball will teach my kids that, in order to win a fight, you have to lose it first, train a bit, and then go back to the fight and let their blood pressure build up for super powers.

    And Naruto will teach my kids to be annoying to all the other kids they frow up with so that when they get older they can become president, also to thow kunai at people.

    Seriously One Piece must be all fluff and filler to be going on as long as it has. They will never find one piece at this rate, and just keep adding on story arcs one after another.

    One Piece is about the adventure, not the destination and has been that way since chapter 1.

    The One Piece is the goal but story is about Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates.

    78 filler episodes out of 642 episodes isn't bad when compared with Bleach and both Naruto series.

    One Piece have 642 with NOT VISIBLE END, Dragon Ball have less that 300 episodes..

    The only people who think bad of fillers are manga purists. People who only watch the anime wouldn't know, wouldnt care, and say "oh no not source material bad bad".

    Naruto is absolutle the worst with fillers b/c they are the worst kind recap eps and "new" eps filled 80% with flasbacks.

    Bleach was better with it b/c they did entire original (or fillers as some like to call it) story arcs which I thought some were pretty good but others imediately wrote off b/c they were fillers which is rediculous to me.

    Also canon arcs can be just as bad and pointless as fillers. Skypiea Arc and Davy Fight Back arc anyone?

    "must be all fluff and filler to be going on as long as it has"

    Do you even read? Or you just skimmed through all those long arcs, and said they're filler just because you're lazy?

    Right, telling me about composition when you failed to capitalize the beginning of your sentences...*sigh*

    Also what point were you trying to stress? That he doesn't read the manga. Well no shit Sherlock, it's obvious from the quote. Once again, do you even read?

    Well i dont think he meant "filler" in the sense you are thinking.

    In Bleach the major over arcing storyline was Aizen. They completly ignored that story for years, with random story arcs (fluff), and then finally came back to it in the final season. Filler in the sense it didnt really progress the story in the anime or manga.

    Same with Naruto, the over arching story was rescuing Sasuke. They've touched upon it a few times but it also has pretty much been ignored.

    Like the guy above its not even really about "finding one piece" anymore just a bunch a fluff story arcs till they actually decide to look for it or stumble upon a clue to its location
