Why I'm I not surprised that 80% is between 18 and 30 years?
And the ones older, are way younger under the skin.
Manga is a treasure that most peole discover in their student time?
Or have the Dragonball and Pokémon rages of the past something to do with it?
Even after dead, we raise from the ashes for the sake of manga.

Add Sailor Moon to that. I feel old reminiscing about my first animes and mangas.
🤣 Anyway, I just turned 24 last month.

Sighhh! Thanks for reminding me about my age! I'm probably too old to be reading manga now... but then, I'm probably too old to be doing almost everything else I'm doing right now! Severe late-bloomer syndrome... 🤢
Haha I just turned 22 yesterday, so I can choose the 22-25 option now XD
I don't feel 22 though. I swear my head still thinks I'm 18 or something. It seems to be in denial that I'm graduating this year and I need to get a job. Nopenopenopenope

the one who interest is actually children or who used to be children who read manga.
i'm not really surprise that 10 or under is the least.
because, either they buy the book or don't even know that mangaupdates exists in the first place 😀

You might have something there. Pokemon, DBZ, and Sailor Moon were, usually, the first anime/manga that many of us started with. Of course, my first anime was actually Vampire Hunter D when it showed on Cartoon Network back in 91, but I didn't start becoming a fan of it until DBZ and Sailor Moon on Toonami.
18 here...
Lol, 0.2% 10 under, nice...
0.9% 61+
Hope those aren't spam votes..

The person who suggested the poll thought most would be teenagers. Well, I knew that's not the case.
Usually I'm in the minority—now I'm in the majority.
As for the side discussion going on, I "read" manga before I could read. The first anime I watched was properly Doraemon or Lupin III or something equally mainstream. But who knows, maybe it was Jarinko Chie or Macross or whatever else they happened to show.

Nice curve, almost symmetric.
