Pretty interesting when put with their publishes, you see what mangas compete with each other.

People still read Prison School? The current arc killed my enjoyment.

 

[Xēnovia.]

I find it fascinating that detective conan is still going strong with that many filler chapters.

 

[Hexuze]

Go Jojolion! I really gotta get into Kingdom, I've been looking for a GOAT weekly manga ever since Toriko ended.

 

[Gintõki1]

Glad to see Detective Conan and AoT at the top. Both are going very strong rn and deliver good shit.
TG :re is doing good as well and i'm sure it will soon get even higher than that.

Also great to see D Gray Man there and JoJo!

 

[Kanino]
