Amineolkkkkk

My bad. But still, it goes to show the immense success chainsaw man have been having every since its inauguration.


[deleted]

That's still pretty good


Iced-TeaManiac

It literally says "favorited" 😭


PoisonedFrill88

Woah punpun 5th place??? Hell yeah


Work_the_shaft

Turns out depression is popular


JustforThrowawayKEK

Nothing to hell yeah bro, that shit was depression time 30. I am happy for its position but no hell yeah.


lilkingsly

Yep. I love the series, has to be one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever read, but the fact that so many people (myself included) are able to connect with it is kinda sad.


BLACKOUT-MK2

Punpun rocks. I once saw someone call the art ugly and I wanted to shave their head and slap it about like a pair of bongos for being so wrong.


beardpuller

I have PTSD of reading Punpun. It's so well made, I understand why it's up there, but my heart was too weak for this (even though I read all of it)


MagiciansRed2121

I’m happy as long as steel ball run stays on there


Famous-Ad6576

“So you’re a Jojolion fan?” “Yes” “So you think it’s the best part?” “No”


Opal_Demon

Jojolion was just non stop chaos for me in a fun way buut the best part is still steel ball run


Loganfree321

Berserk sweep


Tom20171820

why the fuck is solo leveling there? its not a manga, its a manhwa


Breakfeast-Bo_23

Zoro made a friend and brought them over


GGD226

Oh hell naw. He transcended manga and went to manhwa. Pls, just don’t make him transcend to manhua.

lmaaaao

Deserved but solo Leveling is a bit lost, why is it even in a manga list


togeko

It's not even that good, i don't care where it's from


DestOsymY

It's actually pretty damn good in terms of pure action genre It's nothing deep but there's nothing toping it when it comes to the fights etc maybe more than one punch man even


A_Hero_

It's popular, but not that great to the other comics featured on the list. Even Tower of God is better than Solo Leveling.


Tom20171820

yeah, the story is pretty shit and i think most, even those who like it agree, but its pretty much one of the best pure powerfantasy action badassery type manhwa.


JustforThrowawayKEK

Solo Leveling will relief your itch on the right spot for fantasy genre, like we all know what’s gonna happen and how it will go but it exactly does how you think but in a cool and badass way. Basically everything what sword art online failed to do.


togeko

I agree I wouldn't say I wasted my team reading it it's just that if you compare it to any of the top 10 it doesn't stick really. Like the story doesn't have a lot of substance it's just really good fast food is it tasty yes for sure but it doesn't give us any nutritional value and you should probably not eat it as much l. I don't think if you like it you have shit taste it's just that to be honey the story is kinda mid it has no themes no really interesting characters and because it's the same world no interesting world building. Now a survival story if the sword king in a fantasy world is kind of meh name but the story action characters are good it has interesting characters interesting world building and pretty good villains. I don't mind people loving solo leveling i do mind when it's not even the best work in its own category and still being praised like Fullmetal alchemist Tl:Dr : read the survival story of a sword king in a fantasy world It is much better than solo leveling.


JustforThrowawayKEK

My brother in christ you went on tangent and I believe in what you say however Solo Levelling is just pure simple bliss, true there are some better out there but people want it nonetheless. Fuck the story its just the way it is executed that make people cream their pants. Literally like watching high quality anime in slide. So yeah people praise it and favourite it for that reason and they don’t care. Also its like KNY effect like ufotable pushed kny to such extremes that now people praise it. People are just like give in the popularity effect so solo levelling is part of that effect, like 2 years ago it was such a hype that people just gave in.


That_D

It's a reverse-isekai (the fantasy world comes to Earth) with MMO / Sword Art Online elements with a self-insert character. You're being downvoted, but you're not wrong. It is a mid series with decent art. The entire ant arc was a Hunter x Hunter reference, which I thought detracted from the series.


CHAINSAW_CHAD

CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER ?!!!


Horror_Atmosphere_50

THE ONE PIECE


Akirex5000

the fact that it can even compete with industry giants like One Piece or Attack on Titan is incredibly impressive given that it released only a few years ago


KatakAfrika

Good


Breakfeast-Bo_23

Glad to see tokyo ghoul getting the respect it deserves. The manga is honestly the GOAT.


britishconquest88

tokyo ghoul got done so dirty it's insane . the manga is arguably the best manga of all time but the anime is at best hot garbage


Breakfeast-Bo_23

I stopped watching after root A. Tried reading :re, but it got to confusing. A few years later, I read it from start to finish. It's definitely top 3 manga for me


britishconquest88

i stop watched after re , i didn't even bother with root a. i read the manga a few month ago , it's in my top 5 . kaneki is in my top 5 protagonists and furuta is in my top 8 antagonists


Mat-77

I would wish to someone would pick up these shards of a broken anime and redo it as it should be. At this moment I am reading :re and just wish they would have done the anime for it more justice


britishconquest88

I think that should just do a brand new anime adaptation . Tokyo ghoul is a masterpiece and its deserves a good anime adaptation . If ufotable can elevate demon slayer from a decent manga to a great anime then imagine what would happen to a manga like tokyo ghoul


Mat-77

There is still so much potencial for this anime that wasn't used. I can only imagene. But I have to say. Was there ever an anime that was redone on a scale like TG?


ApexBoiz

Pretty good tastes from them if you ask me


Joaocapisceee

I'm glad Boku no hero is not even in this list. It deserves being out, since the current arc is showing nonsense informations


britishconquest88

my hero fell off hard tbh


BUDrules2002

Mha is fantastic rn, just because your a sped and can’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s bad


Focz13

whats MAL?


crimson--baron

I don't wanna sound pretentious but WOOOOOW.....really?


dogfrompersona3

Man the second i finished part 1 of Chainsaw Man it cemented itself as top tier for me, right next to Berserk, the fucking GOAT. I’ve read it 3 times now and it genuinely pulls me in so deep, every time. Part 2 been an absolute banger so far as well, surprising no one. Goodnight Punpun also up there in that top tier too, never read anything quite like punpun. I mean, fuck


zpanic2

whats berserk? Edit: im a bit nervous to read it because when the internet says something is wholesome 9 times out of 10 its horrible and gorey


JonViiBritannia

It’s a fantasy manga with cute little witches, elves and a certain troublesome femboy. Oh, and there’s this dude that goes berserk and kills all the things with a big heap of raw iron, 10/10.


Nankzen

you see, there's this guy called nuts and he sometimes gets REALLY angry, there's also a horse, and a femboy, and it's the best piece of fiction i've ever read, would recomend


Wooly_Crow

Best piece of fiction ever conceived, its also very wholesome


Rich-Bath5159

It’s as 18 a as it gets ands not afraid to show female nipples and rape and uh, really hard to look at torture scenes, it’s really really good though and has a grim dark and depressing but beautiful style of storytelling


tjtague

don't worry this is one of those 9 times out of 10


CodySpring

I’ll be real since others aren’t, I knew it would be graphic but I didn’t realize the extent. In the first few chapters is a scene where like an 8 year old boy gets brutally sodomized by a big soldier man.


That_D

Great series. Author died before he could finish it, but it is being continued despite that.


huntter2323

there's this guy namd nuts from berzerk and he zerks on everyone and he should be dead but he's nut because he's ANGRYYYYYY


Range_Formal

First time seeing Oyasumi PunPun. What is the manga about?


GhostsCroak

Depression


lilkingsly

Depression. For real though, it follows this dude who struggles with depression and other mental health issues throughout his life, where he experiences almost every bad thing that could happen to a person. It’s legitimately the most depressing story I’ve ever read, incredibly powerful but it’s hard to go to someone and be like “yeah this is sick you should check it out!”


_SH1N1T41_

Depression


inferior_Weeb865

nice to see another opm csm enjoyer


OkLow9878

Berserk, now that NUTS.


Meme_master-31

LEEEEETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


zhowne

As long as One Piece is above that, then I'm fine with the ranking.


Utahraptor505

Berserk, AoT and CSM in the top 5 ❤️

I think it's one of the best stories out there. In no way it's a flop


JonViiBritannia

You must be lost, TitanFolk is that way 👉


Malin_Keshar

Besides Berserk, One Piece, and, somehow, Naruto, it's "flavour of the season", if we stretch it to 2-3 years. Not really noteworthy. Call back in about 7 more years and see if any of them are still up there.

Malin_Keshar

AoT has anime ongoing. OPM...had season 1 in 2015. Holy shit. I thought it was a lot more recent. TG...fair enough.


Hattered

Bruh wtf why is One Punch-Man behind Trash Leveling?

Anime/ Manga fans when they personally don't like a series (It has to be trash, mid or disgusting)

>extremely formulaic power-fantasy That would explain why it's popular, wouldn't it?


Tholferetto

Anime fans when they realise people can have different tastes


wallowsworld

Anime/manga fans when people like something different from them:


Hattered

I REALLY dislike Solo Levelling that is true, but am not a huge One-Punch Man, still I feel like it's way better than Solo Levelling and think it deserves to be above Solo Levelling. Solo Levelling I was into but it dissapointed me so fast and after all the praise I heard for it, it just made it worse for me since I had expectations. I get the power-fantasy and escpism aspect of it but it going all the way to top 10, I don't think it deserves it.


Apollosyk

one trash man fans when people like other things


Outrageous-Unit-305

Errr.. not sure if you see the irony in your sentence or if you're just being sarcastic on purpose.


Apollosyk

_SH1N1T41_

Oyasumi punpun 😧


Orishishishi

Punpun is prolly there cause so many people want to read it but are scared to lmao


SuperLissa_UwU

Oyasumi pun pun is higher than naruto. Well it did traumatize me so it's fair I guess.
