The Frieren anime taught me something: for most series, I'll simply always prefer reading the manga, no matter how good its anime adaptation is.
The anime is pretty much perfect, but I stopped watching it pretty early, since I just enjoyed the manga experience more (in addition to the manga obviously being way further ahead)

For some other series, like Dandadan, Kaguya-sama, or Interspecies Reviewers, I actually prefer the anime, but there aren't many series like that. Most of my favorite anime simply come from me not having read the source material. For example, Honzuki no Gekokujou would be in my favorite anime list, except that I read the light novel and liked it way more.
Oshi no Ko is a unique case for me, since I actually like it and the manga in different ways. There are certain parts in both the anime and the manga that I like the execution better than in the other, and I think you actually have to witness both for the full experience.

i would put Yugame Hizumi from Suicide Girl in my favorite characters list, except the list kinda functions as an extra "favorite series list" as a secondary feature to showing some of my favorite characters, which is why there isn't any overlap.

Otherwise, some characters like Frieren, Akane Kurokawa, or Roxy Migurdia would be there.

I have VT Legend in my favorites because
1) I really like it, almost enough to put it in my favorites, purely on its own merits, and
2) it represents my love of vtubers for the past 4 years, and it encapsulates the things I like about vtubing.

I just saw that the ending oneshot of Fujimi Lovers already came out.

I can't wait to be able to read it.

(It's free, btw. You can read it in Japanese here: https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/episode/2550689798515762383)

Well, it's not like my "favorite manga list" is even really that accurate, anyways. Oshi no Ko, Frieren, and Kaguya-sama aren't on there, since I have them in my favorite anime list, and a lot of my "favorite characters" are also stand-ins for my "favorite manga (and novels)", like Kumo Desu Ga, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, Mieruko-chan, Otome Kaijuu Caramelizer, Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete, and even (kinda) 100 Girlfriends.

I'm not sure where I can fit "SSS-Class Revival Hunter" in my "favorite manga list" but it probably deserves a spot on it, somewhere?

Honestly, it's hard to compare the "favoriteness level" of all these different stories, especially because I have forgotten many of the feelings I had when reading many of them, even if I haven't forgotten the things I read.

Anyways, if you're (somehow) reading this, you should read (atleast) the first 102 chapters of the SSS-class Revival Hunter manhwa. It's so good.

Summertime render is almost the perfect representation of what I like about fictional settings

Btw, my favorites are sorted in the order of when I first read/watched them, not in order of favoritism or anything.

Uh... 15?

Ugghh. Sentai Daishikkaku is really making me want to put it in my favorites, but I just don't know where to slot it in.

I need to rewatch Little Witch Academia. (and also Clannad)

Not quite sure if it truly deserved being kicked off my favorites, but Bang Bravern definitely compelled me to.

A few other manga i would add to my favorites list, if there was room, would be Afterschool War Duties/Duty After School. and maybe The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins.

After recently rereading, and catching up with, Tsugumomo, I've come to realize that, while I do really enjoy the series, its "shounen power concepts" of curse and tsugumomo, and its unabashed horniness, it really doesn't belong among the other series in my favorite manga list.

After submitting my nominations for the "You Should Read This Manga 2024" event, I realized that my picks were, like, weirdly girly.
And, now that I'm looking at my favorites lists, I'm confirming that it's kinda true. A lot of my favorites are either: weirdly girly, horny, or kinda gender-neutral.
Also, the "weirdly girly" stuff, isn't really actually girly that much, but kind of a mix between girliness and boyishness, like Otome Kaiju Caramelizer and SHY, or more womanly, like Ascendence of a Bookworm and Bokura no Kiseki. I guess I kinda have tomboy taste/woman taste?
Honestly, I'm not that surprised. I've always been into kinda-girly stuff ever since I was a little kid: mermaid movies, PowerPuff Girls Z, Disney princesses, etc.

I just went back to read Nagatoro after not having read it since, like, the 2nd volume was released, years ago, and I had completely forgotten just how much that manga made me smile from ear to ear.
I would put it in my "favorite manga", but I'm not really sure what it would replace.
