Any reason why it should include Bleach or Naruto????

Yes those titles are hot right now, but whether or not they can stand the test of time is another question seeing the results of this poll shows a larger selection window than the last few years. Honestly I'm surprised to see One Piece landing so high up. (I'm also surprised that Doraemon ranks that high on a MANLY scale, but oh well)

The list does show a good mix of fighting and sports based Shonen titles, so honestly it is pretty much what I would expect to see considering what basis of the poll is.

What why isn't Fist of the North Star number 1? That is the manliest manga/anime of all time.
And Bleach and Naruto aren't manly enough to be on this poll.

Hokuto no Ken should be higher ranked...and as far as a list of the manliest manga, where the heck is Berserk or Bastard!?

As for Bleach and Naruto, I've only read some of Naruto and I don't see how it would be considered a manly manga in general.

Already doing so.

I like how Doraemon is third. Although it makes me wish that Sailor Moon had got the top spot. :lol:

That would be the the top 10 list of Shojo Manga titles that have sizable Male readership. :grin:

Aha! But your response proves otherwi~se! 8D

But, man, I want to contribute to the conversation so badly but I can't think of a single thing to say about the results... Maybe it would help if I were part of the poll's target demographic... Oh well.

With how the title is capitalized, I initially thought this was going to be a thread about japanese women judging the smells of mens farts. :lol:
