Like I said it's not a popularity poll. It's gender proportion comparison poll, hence I said it was disingenious. One piece has roughly a 50-50 (or 52-48) split in readershhip in males and females hence why it's so low. A manga with only 5 male reader's would come first on popular with males side as it has a 100% male popularity. It doesn't measure the amount of reader's simply the proportion of male to female reader's hence why no manga appears on both sides, One piece is low on one and not appearring in the other despite being by a significant amount the most popular manga in Japan in existence, and the data is shown in a two variable bar chart, etc.

Kumagawa in a (at least) two part Nisio novel... This should be quite amazing.

This news excites me greatly : D I wasn't sure how popular the first couple of novels were, so I was afraid there weren't going to be anymore~~

And the other two had such nice color foldouts, looking forward to getting more~♥ ^^

fujoshi demo is big for Gintama. Actually, I would kinda argue that all of those listed for the females are manga with decent to large fujoshi audiences, not sure about One Piece though.
Granted it would be kinda sexist to assume that any shonen titles that a lot of women like would classify them under fujoshi, but that seems to be the case in this specific list.

I'd be more implied to go by the conclusion that those manga's are popular by females anyway which would make more sense since we're talking about a 60+ % and that a section of that female fanbase is fujoshi but they make up a part rather than whole. Kinda like a section of ale demographic will be represent by the more sterotyped "Otaku's". Just like there's people more interested in shipping and those that aren't.

Different strokes for different folks when thses things are selling close to millions or multiple millions per volume, specific niche fanbase making up the majority of the fanbase doesn't make much sense. Different age groups and preferrences seem more likely.

E.g One Piece, there's no way in hell what 3 million a volume by just appealing to 13-19 year olds males interested in battle shounen as this break down shows. Like most mainstream shounens it's far more gender neutral appealling equally to both, hence why it's so large.

except that most of those titles are generally accepted as fujoshi bait.

anything new up?

[LeaD36]

thx Tenchi
And lol @ Haikyuu, i think it's doing badly or subpar at best.

[orangejuicetang]

Spoiler for chapter 161:

So, for Shiranui's new role, judging by her new clothes in the last picture, is she now that 'dark loli's' from the jet black feast's shadow? (I don't remember how to spell her name, momosomething I think). Also, seems like there's a third not equal in the village. That seems interesting

[Wolfenstein]

Aside from the mention of the third Not Equal, it was an average transition chapter.

[kingstonbeer]

Spoiler for shiranui:

shiranui in that dress....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Tyabann]

Why was that suitor's face hidden for most of the entire chapter? Is he channeling Hanten or something?
Aside from that, fairly decent, thought the fights were a lot less interesting than they could have been, but it's not like this manga to draw things out longer than they have to be so I don't know what I was expecting. The reappearance of the Narrator for the first time in, what, a hundred chapters for the sole purpose of justifying Ajimu's behaviour was kind of surprising, though. I will never cease to be amazed at the hoops Nisio continues to jump through in order to keep the manga going while she's around.
Translation was pretty bad this week though. Half the time I had very little idea what the characters were trying to say.

[shmaster]

I was reading the raw, but where does it say there is one more Not Equal?

And seriously? Angel Style? Serious??

Knowing CXC, it probably doesn't. It's just Hanten's "birthplace", whatever that means.

Wait, what? I completely missed this.

[shmaster]

It is among Anshinin san's list of skills, the very last one.

It is like Nisio never forget about trolling us, even it is something minor in the background.

[Riltz]

Well, when she's fighting her ninja clone there's one named [scat incident] without any explanation, they just leave it there to your imagination

What i like is that this isn't dragged off, usually shonen mangas would do at least 20 chapters about how to reach shiranui and it would make the arc really annoying, actually i didn't expect them to reach shiranui that fast .

Also, that dress is cute.

[j0x]

the Shiranui Clan are in the shadows and protectors of the world i guess Shiranui's next mission is to fight Medaka like snatch Zenkichi's love affection away from Medaka lol

and nice action panels, love the concept that you cannot beat yourself instead make someone beat yourself lol... i guess the saying is true that their is always someone better than you

You know for once you're right, it was a mistake. And now it's fixed' thanks for the heads up.

[Last Carpet]

So suddenly Medaka is an expert on Shiranui.....yeah....MC Powers strike again
