Wow, far too many shounen titles in here. Nice to see NANA, Fruits Basket and Emma though I think they deserved a higher rating. Surprised Sailor Moon isn’t on there as well considering the manga did get released in a 10th anniversary binding that did well.

naruto???, bleach???, those are good to start reading mangas, but there are really better works, pls read monster, akira, berserk, 20 century boys, those are mangas that deserve to be in a top 5, great story, great character design, great everything…

JoJo and One Piece in the top 15? I can live with that. The only problem that I can see with Naruto not even being here is that all the Narutards will start bitching about it…

The reason Naruto isn’t here is because of the decline in quality between the end of part one and the more recent Shippuden chapters. That is all.

Urasawa Naoki is the best. 4 of his work is on that list (Monster, Master Kaeton, 20th Century Boys, Pluto). He is truely the new god of manga. Love his work.

And there are just too many Narutotard in this world. It is a great read, but no where near the best.
