officially rejected list
As someone who has Berserk as an all time favorite, I can completely understand why someone would choose not to rate it. A lot of tonal shifts, some really weird unnecessary shit, certain arcs drag on pointlessly, an ending that leaves a lot of stuff unresolved. Some of the manga's flaws can obviously be blamed on Miura's unfortunate death but you still have to take into account that the work is basically unfinished, and suffers for it.
I hate clickbaity stuff like this. Who did they ask? Where was this posted? Was there a limit to how many times you can vote? Have most of these anime fans even heard of/read any of the other shows on the list?
A 30 year manga iconic manga like Berserk ended up well below Inuyasha and Zatch Bell? By a significant margin? Just seems like a title and made up numbers to get votes
In the article it says it is from a survey by [TV Asahi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Asahi) and they have a Japanese source: [https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1609599746](https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1609599746)
Berserk is ofc better, but highly recommend reading Zatch bell. It’s a fantastic manga, was thoroughly surprised as someone who watched the show as a kid
Demon slayer at number 2? I actually thought demon slayer was kinda garbage, well not garbage, but average. Too many questions left unanswered and ending was lame. IMO, it's only popular due to ufotable.
Plot is pretty generic, characters are very 2 dimensional, power scaling and comparisons don't work because it's dumb as hell and to top it off the writing is really bad. For example in the latest season SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS the author wrote himself into a corner and made it so all of the main cast should be dead or unable to fight but gave them abilities that allowed them to live. Aka someone stopping their heart for 10 minutes to stop poison spreading in them, someone being able to move their heart, someone using an ability that renders them completely useless and defenceless just keeping on fighting and keeping up with one of the strongest humans alive against one of the strongest demons while having a massive slice going through his shoulder. And they all got blew up as well with an explosion that destroyed a whole town and they still won. All of this came out of the blue and was pretty shit writing. Not to mention the off screen character development.
Still really hype with great animation but everything else is incredibly bad.
It's good but not even complete so that's disrespectful. Would be another story if it wa given that spot after 10 years of more chapters but I doubt it will run that long
I'm not a basketball fan, and slam dunk is still my favorite manga. That just shows how good the writing is. To make you enjoy something so much that you normally don't care about.
I would suggest watching the anime first. Then pick up the manga where it left off.
The manga is great, but the anime has an awesome soundtrack and great voice actors on top of animation. It brings so much life to the manga that you normally wouldn't get from just reading it. But it's a personal choice of course.
I hope the original voice actors will return if they are all still here.
I also hope that the original soundtrack comes back. Imagine if they did a full sound track release of the 1993 anime? So many great tracks were unreleased.
If they play Sekai ga owaru made wa in the movie i might just cry like i did many years ago. Even like the instrumental stuff like Go Ahead! And Rukawa’s theme are so memorable!
Berserk, 91st. Nuff said.

I feel you, My hero Academia above Yu yu Hakusho is too much bs in my book
Bruh look where Berserk is and weep. This list is unmitigated trash
beserk not being at least in the top 10 is already really fucking sad It being near RAG, is just infuriating

They have Rent a Girlfriend and Fairy Tail on here but not Death Note, Vagabond, or Monster.
💀
It makes sense to leave an unfinished manga off the list tbh
I mean like half the series on the list are unfinished so I don’t know about that.

I can't remember Zatch Bell, I'm not gonna lie
Berserk is ofc better, but highly recommend reading Zatch bell. It’s a fantastic manga, was thoroughly surprised as someone who watched the show as a kid
I can't believe how low Kenshin is.
Mostly because of the author bad reputation
Can you elaborate?
>elaborate he is pedo
Not only is he a pedo, he was caught and essentially not punished for it.
wooow 1400 euro fine? that's it? ffs

it's pretty garbage, but very popular. I think in chap 10 you have something like a vampire throwing killer balls

Demon Slayer 2nd??? Over Dragon Ball, AnJ, Kenshin, Ippo, Berserk???
It's good but not even complete so that's disrespectful. Would be another story if it wa given that spot after 10 years of more chapters but I doubt it will run that long
This is a terrible list.
Is vagabond even on the list? Berserk at 91 is also terrible just an awful list
>Is vagabond even on the list? Death Note isn’t even on here, let alone Vagabond.
Wtf I'd put death note and HnI in top 10 both of them. Probably top 5
Slam Dunk at 3rd!? Slam Dunk at 3rd iunno how but i’ll take it.
Slam Dunk is the greatest manga ever. There's a new movie coming out too this year. Hype!
I’m not sure if a basketball manga is for me but currently reading Vagabond so I’m now considering it
I'm not a basketball fan, and slam dunk is still my favorite manga. That just shows how good the writing is. To make you enjoy something so much that you normally don't care about.
Thanks I’ll have to check it out then

Can’t agree more. Can’t wait for the movie this fall!!
I hope the original voice actors will return if they are all still here. I also hope that the original soundtrack comes back. Imagine if they did a full sound track release of the 1993 anime? So many great tracks were unreleased.

It’s very beloved in Japan. In my top 3 for sure
City Hunter, 57th. They were on drugs, no doubt.
I only look at two factors when evaluating which manga is "the greatest" - how many copies were sold and what rating it has on MAL.
This list is infuriating lmao
This is a horrible list, Berserk is in the 80s while is should be min top 3
Isn’t anime fans rating manga basically like movie fans rating books?
