Holy Shit

The female readers are reading something that terrible.
Fucking hell

They always do that. Leave them be since nothing can be done about it.

Females need to step up their game and read Chainsaw Man.

No thanks. We don t want to see lesbian scenes or awful lesbian sex. We are pretty good without this.

the top 20 choices for the male readers are more to my taste than the female ones lol

esp blue period. great choice there!

I want to see Mashle in this list, too. Especially in list of men that manga should been.

Dec 26, 2020 2:13 PM by Amygirl90

It's such a pleasant surprise seeing Kieta Hatsukoi making the list, and in the top 10, no less! Definitely an underappreciated gem. Even though it's the author's first work, they seriously did a great job with the story. And of course, Aruko's art is just the cherry on top. So glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves.

Well,it was gonna happen.

nice csm in top 1
but i hope spy x family in there too :(

Dec 20, 2020 7:06 PM by HairDryer

Nice for CSM.

Also great for Undead Unluck ranking 14th. It's gonna be big once it gets an anime.

Sousou no Frieren surprised me since chapter 1. I'm happy to see the manga got recognition.

Dec 20, 2020 6:43 AM by AdrianRubinsky

Wow great Frieren at #2, definitely deserves it.

Dec 20, 2020 4:09 AM by MegamiRem

Frieren is just freaking awesome. Also, really glad watashi no shiawase na kekkon become popular. I remember reading it when the novel was only at volume 1 and the manga has just started, there was barely more than 10 reviews in amazon japan for the novel. But, somehow I had a feeling it will become popular one day. Glad I was right

I love this time of the year when Kono Manga ga Sugoi! is revealed.

I found so many good titles thanks to it. Shingeki no Kyojin was there in 2010, anyone remembers?))

Anyway, can't wait to read Dai Dark and Kowloon Generic Romance.

Dec 20, 2020 3:58 AM by Edaniel

Chainsawman, yet that's def sugoi.

So is there a thing that a manga that tops these charts do not enter the ranks again? Because i thought that it would maintain a consistent rank even if it were to slip around 10th rank.

uuuh, actually no. Chainsaw Man was the 4th of male readers last year and this is the 3rd time KnY appears but seeing more titles is more interesting for me

Thank you for your answer. And i agree it is refreshing to see new titles getting recognition.

Dec 20, 2020 3:31 AM by king_knight_19

kowloon is a go go. definitely deserves that spot.

As always there are some unknown (and probably good) titles there

kowlon romance got #3, that's nice (from the author of koi wa ameagari no yo ni), blue period is there too in the ranks. Mizu wa Umi looks interesting.
We all knew how popular and great chainsaw man is

Good for Chainsaw Man, it deserves it.
I’ve read few chapter chapters of Sousou no Frieren and Oshi no Ko. I really do have to keep reading them
