If you are a fan of the anime and manga, you have surely heard of it LINE, the messaging application that corresponds to our WhatsApp or Telegram. Although it is also available in the West, the application has an incredibly high number of users, especially in Japan. where he recently started an interesting poll.
For research purposes, LINE asked its users to indicate which manga they read with the most interest at the time, and the results are very interesting. Before we show you the rankings broken down by gender, let’s share some interesting details.
According to LINE, 30% of high school students read mangas almost every day (six or seven days a week), 52% read manga one or more days a week, and 18% don’t read comics. Both boys and girls replied that their favorite time to read is “when there is nothing to do“or”When I’m at home“while the third choice is”in bed, before sleep“The most widely read magazine of the two is Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump.
Before we move on to the rankings, we would like to point out that LINE’s question had only one answerHence, even the students who were engaged in multiple readings felt compelled to only indicate their own favorite. Here are the results.

Jujutsu Kaisen wins first place in the ranking of the most read manga, no surprise when you consider that it is currently one of the best-selling works with 50 million copies. Demon Slayer is not featured in the male ranking for obvious reasons, as half of the Japanese population found the manga again in the course of 2020. while the presence of The Promised Neverland is surprisingWhich likely many chose because of the CloverWorks anime’s flop.
As for the female audience, It’s impressive to see Assassination Classroom againwhich ended five years ago and with an excellent anime adaptation behind it, while the presence of Detective Conan, a great classic that is still read by millions of fans, is less surprising.
