Ok, so I tend to look at the most popular manga when deciding what next to read I thought I would check to see if these actually are people's favourites or some of them (e.g Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Inuyasha) are just so long that they get higher ratings than they deserve. Let me know what you think of each. I got the list from the top 20 at onemanga.com and the top 11 at mangafox.com. The rating number is listed with mangafox ratings (if there is one) being in brackets.

For those interested my personal favourite is Death Note though none of my other favourites aren't even listed.

1. (1) Naruto
2. (4) Bleach
(2) Gakuen Alice
3. (11) One Piece
4. (3)Vampire Knight
5. Air Gear
38. (5) Love Monster
6. Eyeshield 21
(6) [m]Kotaro Makaritoru[/m]
7. D.Gray-Man
(7) 100% Perfect girl
8. Rosario+Vampire
308. (8) Nabari no Ou
9. Claymore
(9) Ai wo Utau Yori Ore ni Oborero!
10. Fairy Tail
194. (10) Special A
11. Full Metal Alchemist
12. Mahou Sensei Negima!
13. Inuyasha
14. Gantz
15. Hunter X Hunter
16. Bitter Virgin
17. Death Note
18. Ayu Mayu
19. Boku ni Natta Watashi
20. Ouran High School Host Club

...........you didn't use this site's popularity list?

I wouldn't count on onemanga.com's list being that accurate, since you can't read stuff that's been licensed by TokyoPop, who appears to have cracked down on other sites that have hosted their titles.

From the list, I voted One Piece, but since I didn't notice the "Other" option, it would really have to be a coin toss between GTO and 20th Century Boys.

I pick Air Gear, well i just really like the detail of the art mostly.

This was really hard~I chose Special A in the end even though I also wanted to pick Nabari no Ou...
Also, there's already a manga popularity contest not too long ago here at MU.

I'm not sure what to choose....

20th Century Boys, kthxbai.

Gakuen Alice is awesome, don't be judged by its cutesy cover because it's not...kind of. Ahh, screw it.

Nabari no Ou FTW.
There.
But I voted for D.Gray-Man.
Damn...

Skip Beat. Definitally Skip Beat. I've probably read that thing (at least as far as possible) 30 times by now.

I think the list on this site would be quite representative of people's opinions. I just wanted to know how representative other lists were and since I read most my manga at onemanga or mangafox before deciding whether to buy it or not I used their favourites lists.

I'll check out everyone's favourites though, I read manga way too much and much as I love re-reading my favourites I always love a new story.

Erm... ok... I think we had something like this but...
I don't go by popularety, so I'll just list the things I like best...
And no, I can't just choose one...

7. D.Gray-Man <<3
11. Full Metal Alchemist
14. Gantz <3
16. Bitter Virgin <<3
20.[m] Ouran High School Host Club[/m]

The other ones are good, but I'm not reading them now..

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

S.A.
Ouran High
Gakuen Alice

Those are my top three. I don't usually tend to agree with whats popular, I really don't like Naruto or Deathnote.

I voted for Death Note...but now I'm kinda regretting it D:
i like Fullmetal Alchemist and Ouran HSHC too...

I never choose what to read next by looking at "what's popular". Your list is terrible, there's not one manga I enjoy on that list. I'm sure there's bound to be more like me, so your poll results will never truly represent this site's general taste.
Perhaps you should read more than Shonen for once...

The list is just a combination of the most read manga at onemanga.com and mangafox.com. I've not even read half of them myself, I was just curious if they really were people's favourites or not, the 'oither' option is for those who don't like any on the list.

Death Note is actually one of my favourite mangas but Ayashi no Ceres, Angel Sanctuary, E's, Akuma no Ororon are way up there as well and they're hardly popular so I was just curious how many other people had a similar 'unpopular' top 5 list like me.

Since joining this site I tend to chose my next manga from reading the reviews on the page but I only started reading Naruto and Bleach because they were popular and, while alright, I think get far too much hype attached to them.
