Default AoD Most Wanted Manga: The Other Side of the Coin

Well, Fudce is handling the Most Wanted topic over at the General Anime Discussion board... And it kind of gets me wondering the same could be done with manga. Even though this is "Anime On DVD", there is a seperate set of boards for manga, i.e. "the other side of the coin" if you will. So let's give it a try...

Now, let me get this out of the way first and foremost:
This topic has no official affiliation or relation to the Anime Most Wanted topic, and is only using similar guidelines due to the fact that Fudce's Anime guidelines are done really nicely to start with. I also reserve the right to stop doing this whenever I feel like, though I will try my hardest to keep this going as long as possible; if by any chance I do stop updating this topic and someone wants to take the reigns of it I will gladly give them whatever files I have in order to keep this going.

OK, now let's get started... (Again, I will use similar, if not the same, guidelines as the Anime Most Wanted topic [Thanks, Fudce!])
Posting Guidelines
  • If it is a new list, please include a note saying that your list is a new one.
  • If you are updating your list, please quote your old list in your new one.
  • You may list up to ten most wanted manga.
  • You may rank your manga, with #1 scoring 10 points, down to #10 scoring 1 point.
  • You may list your manga without ranks, with each title scoring 5.5 points.
  • When posting your list, please include the Anime News Network ID code for each title. Failure to do so will result in an ineligible list.
    >>> To find the ANN ID code for an manga, visit the ANN page for it and take the number at the end of the URL. .../manga.php?id=6862 (for example)
  • Don't edit your list for any reason. If you need to fix an error, create an updated list.
  • Always double-check Anime News Network ID numbers. I might not aways catch your mistakes. Also, ANN may not list a title you want to add; if so, just list it and I will try my hardest to make sure that no titles are listed twice under different names. It wouldn't hurt to try adding it to ANN's encyclopedia, though, so that it has an ID #. You are free, though, to flesh out the ID-less title by mentioning who did it, who published it, where it is/was published in, etc.

Eligibility Guidelines
  • Any series that is currently licenced is ineligible.
  • Any series that has been licenced in the past, but that licence has since expired is ineligible.
  • Any series that has been released and altered for any reason, it has still been licenced and is ineligible. This includes name and terminology changes and being released "flipped" (left-to-right instead of right-to-left).
  • Follow-up series and sequels of unlicenced series are eligible, but when you list a series it is assumed you also want the follow-ups licenced too. If you do list follow-ups and sequels, though, please list them in seperately; i.e. 1 title per number listing.

  • If you are still unsure if a manga is eligible, ASK!

Other Information
  • In the event of a tie, the rank will be decided on the number of higher ranked votes.
  • When a ranked list contains an ineligible manga, lower ranked manga will move up taking their position.
  • If you change your name, please make your old name clear in any updates.
  • Please don't use this list as a way of protesting a licence that wasn't released to your liking, or at all.
    >>> I reserve the right to remove any member using the list in this way from the master list.

  • If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

List style: #. Title (ANN ID#) - Point Total [# of 1st Place Votes, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. (If Needed)]

Italics means a lowering in rank.
Bolding means a rise in rank.

Top 10 Most Wanted Manga:

1. 7SEEDS (4531) - 53 [2]
2. Mahoraba (5419) - 32.5 [1]
3. Dragon Half (2732) - 31 [2]

4. Toradora! (10049) - 27.5 [0]
5. Yamada Taro Monogatari (2398) - 25 [1]
6. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (3605) - 24 [1]
7. Nagasarete Airantou (7302) - 22 [1]
8. Bokurano (4545) - 21 [2]
9. Kannagi (9294) - 20 [0]
10. Kuroshitsuji (10154) - 19 [1] (NEW!)

Dropped out of Top 10:
11. Gokusen (2538) - 17 [0]
14. Tokyo Crazy Paradise (2399) - 16 [1]

Default Re: AoD Most Wanted Manga: The Other Side of the Coin

So I'll start it off... Unless some other poster posts before I do.

1.Ring ni Kakero 1 (4138)
2.Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - Meiō Shinwa (8470)
3.Iron Wok Jan! R: The Summit Operations
4.The Law of Ueki Plus (7736)
5.Mr. Fullswing (4530)
6.Steel Ball Run (5564)
7.Luck Stealer
8.Akagi (6295)
9.Companion
10.Highschool of the Dead (8592)

As you can see, I have three titles on the list that are not in ANN's encyclopedia. I do know that they exist, though, so I have them on my list. I'll probably try adding them to the encyclopedia, and hopefully they'll be added officially sooner or later.

In the days of yore, we actually did maintain a manga most-wanted list in the same fashion. The list is surely quite out dated now and would best be served by starting anew, but I'll see if I can get my search fu working and pull up a link to the old lists for the curious.

Meantime, I'm gonna move this over to the main board for traffic reasons.

Edit: Search-fu! 2007, eek.

Yeah, I remember that list... But it wasn't quite the best list we could have, not to mention that it had a lot of shared spots, not to mention that it was last posted on back in late 2007. I do think following the anime Most Wanted list's style is probably for the better and should make for a overall better list.

Yes... and the old list also followed the overall format. Things change over the years.

I wasn't knocking your new venture, merely referencing the old list for the curious... as I said in my post. And it might help people interested in participating to see their own lists once-upon-a-2007.

I'll set up a new list:

1. IO (3712)
2. Umi no Misaki (10256)
3. Mahoraba (5419)
4. Open Sesame (5169)
5. Nagasarete Airantou (7302)
6. Doubt (9570)
7. Ai Kora (7737)
8. Highschool of the Dead (8592)
9. Sketchbook (8030)
10. Kannagi (9294)

Wow, that was harder than I thought - so much manga gets licensed (even if it doesn't get finished) that it's hard to find ten that I would like to read.

I never took it as a knock... In fact, the old list actually left my mind when I started this topic.

I gave the database a little start right now with rooboy's being the last one added, and it's getting off to a nice start; Excel certainly makes things easier. I'll try to get a Top 25 list up as soon as there aren't as many ties as there are right now.
