So Chihayafuru is a manga about bondage?
I have to read it...

Chihayafuru live action!
Ooh, nice!
It's not. Though you probably already knew that.
It has become something of a running gag on SC to use an image from this fanart series to represent Chihayafuru since the time Artefact was actually writing articles himself.
I'm not completely sure how I feel about it. I don't have a problem with it in general, and I wouldn't mind it for lesser series. But Chihayafuru has so much to offer that reducing it to bondage porn in every article is kind of undeserving.
But then again SC likes to troll readers, and since Chihaya is actually quite a loved character even among this site's degenerate user base, using a pic that shows her clearly miserable in a nonconsensual situation is probably the ultimate troll.
Have to admit though that the art IS amazing. The artist is def one of the best and most accomplished bondage-themed manga-style illustrators active today.

In behalf of most comments:
"No 〇〇!? This list is a shit!"
There ya go.
I'm glad that Koe no Katachi found out its way on this list. Most manga mentioned are pretty much unknown to me though...
On the other hand, I'm impressed that Naruto didn't get enough votes to appear on this list.
It's because some (and just some) mangas on the list are actually not for the general public. Ooku: The Inner Chambers for example is a story more mature than the usual shonen ahead of the charts.
In my country many of those authors are actually published. I was shocked to learn that in USA, many people don't even know someone like Tanigushi, while he is regarded as a master in japan and here. The English-speaking public need to learn more about this kind of artists, at least to know that you don't need to make the usual shonen/shojo/seinen thing to be successful.
did you happen to notice how it ended a few weeks ago?
narutards are finally irrelevant .
Damn, the only manga from this list I currently read is all the way down at 49.
What the fuck?
i have no idea what this whole post is about but i like the boobs and butt
Keep in mind the 4,859 votes. Again, 4,859 votes.
Please try again.
No assassins creed. list invalid
1. Bleach
2. Naruto
3. Free!
BEST MANGA AND ANIME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shit overrated titan junk #1. list is crap.
If One Piece was #1. List would be accurate.
actually, sales wise, 2014 goes to snk
nope, one piece have 157,589 lead sale copies, it's a close match
No UQ Holder.
No UQ Holder?
YES, THANK YOU, FUCKING LIST. I DON'T CARE WHAT ELSE YOU HAVE, I LOVE YOU ALL THE SAME!
The Tanuki is the only correct character in the pic for Monthly Shoujo Nozaki-kun, unless that girl is supposed to be Mamiko (Who is in turn, basically a gender-bent Mikorin).
I think it's an actual gender-bent Mikorin. :O
This is what a 'mainstream' list would look like. Yet I haven't read a single one these LOL.
Shingeki is so fucking overrated. I really don't understand what people see in it. Don'get me wrong, I think it is good but not to the extent that it can topple One Piece.
It's funny even the anime has merits with the amazing art and great animation, the good music, and VA's but... the manga has none of these. Instead it actually has bad looking art, a plot full of holes and and characters who are extremely shallow. Honestly I'll never understand why it got such a good anime adaptation and yet better manga all the time get shit anime adaptations.
Thank you finally someone with a brain that can comprehend that the anime adaption was amazing but it by itself as a manga has much to improve on.
SnK is in my top 5 favorite list, One Piece is not even in the top 10.
Don't get me wrong, I like One Piece, I just prefer dark anime/manga.
SnK is not overrated, you just didn't like it as much as most people did.
Yes it is overrated and also it being in your "top 5" has nothing to do with what I said or back up any reason in which it isn't overrated. And to the first reply his response is the most accurate. The manga didn't mean shit until the anime came out because the ANIME version was amazing not due to the manga. And what "most" people liked wasn't the manga to begin with, it was the anime so don't start with the "You didn't like it as much and that's why it's not overrated" bull shit reason.
I wasn't backing anything up, I was just saying my opinion.
I have no complains about you thinking that SnK is overrated, as long as you admit that it's no more than your personal opinion, I'll respect that.
But forcing your opinion on others as if the heavens have decided that it is the correct one, is totally childish and immature.
Both the anime and the manga have high ratings and are very popular worldwide, if they didn't deserve those high ratings, then how did they get them?! by cheating? by courtesy?
You saying "SnK is not overrated" is already backing it up. If that's not what you meant then I have no clue what you mean by even saying that. Also anime makes many manga multiply in popularity. Those "high ratings" came from after the anime adaption was released and not due to it's own popularity to begin with. People are confusing the the amazing animation and story telling of the anime with the manga. As I was saying the MANGA is overrated and no the anime which is deserved. As well as calling me totally childish and immature when telling you why I think it's overrated with legitimate REASONS and not stupid ass things like "cause it's my top five" just shows how much of a brain you have.
Also you commenting on this also proves that you have a complain about me thinking Shingeki is overrated so just stop contradicting yourself.
Well you're backing yourself up with bullshit, SnK got popular because of the anime, so what? that doesn't mean it's overated! it only means that the anime was great enough to make the manga more popular! I mean that happens with every fucking high rated manga these days! even One Piece wouldn't have become this popular if it wasn't adapted!
I'm saying that I personally like SnK and think it deserves the high ratings, that's an enough reason for me to think that it's not overrating.
You in the other hand didn't like it so much, and that's fine, but you trying to convince people that SnK being overrated is a fact based on reasons is childish, especially since your "reasons" are made up and only theoretical, not to mention that they could be true for every other show, not only SnK!
I said that I had no complain about your personal opinion, but I had complains about the way you're forcing your opinion, that's why I replied, was it that hard to understand?!
3 manga I've never heard of in the top 10, and looking them up they sound interesting.
That alone makes this the best list in sankaku history.
not really care about list but this one looks legit with multiple genre in the lion on balanced ranks.
at least dozen times more realistic than whatever list with only one genre on it.
I hate to say it, but this list reflects that most manga readers are old, and there is little readership amongst younger audiences.
