An entirely new list... I guess that's somewhat to be expected for the first week in the month. Nice to see Black Jack, One Piece and Dawn of the Arcana up there, though for the life of me I will never understand why Naruto is so popular.

100% turnover! Think I've only seen that once before. Shame this means no more Sailors on the list -- think they'll be back next week?

Man, One Piece has the worst/most elitist fanbase out of any anime I've seen. Even if there's not that many, they're pretty vocal.

It's a solid manga but you can't help it if fans of the most popular manga in Japan to want to see it do well here. The art is gorgeous in my opinion. Story not so much but it is entertaining.

Most people would say the exact opposite.

Got my copy of v59 Very Happy Gotta catch up on Bakuman and Black Jack though, especially since BJ is now complete :\

Now this I don't quite understand. Have you read a lot of One Piece? Because to me, this manga has nothing -but- story going for it, and that alone is enough to put it miles ahead of its shonen competition on my list.

Really, glad to see One Piece climbing up on the list, looks like people are progressively getting into One Piece, and I really want to see the day that it beats Naruto, and takes the spot it deserves Cool

Also glad that Black Jack, and Bakuman on are the list. Very Happy

No real excuse for them to act that way. Never seen any other manga fans put down or promote as much as they do.
