The breaker/ the breaker new waves has recently become quite popular aswell however it still doesnt match naruto in popularity as of yet...

same goes for historys strongest desciple kenichi

onepiece is a lot bigger in japan and a lot of people prefere one piece over naruto

bleach since entering the final arc has also taken a huge leap in popularity however this 5 week break might cause damage if the next chapter that comes out isnt an epic one...

fairytail has also become very popular and i would say it isnt far off naruto..

Pokemon is far above naruto imo

there is no manga in the world that rivals naruto's popularity in terms of manga atm ,in the world,not even one piece,which is only popular in japan for god knows what reasons.anyway shingeki itself only became popular because of anime,nothing more or less,and it's just plainly over-rated,though as i said,the animation rocks,not the story.

and as for anime,i think there are couples of animes that rivals it's popularity,though the viz always shows naruto's dvd sales to top it's sales chart in usa.

Naruto, One Piece, Bleach and Fairy Tail are good mangas

Attack on Titan is rising in popularity and story

Hunter x Hunter is good but always has breaks(Hunter x Hunter is actually older then naruto but still only has 340 chapters)

in my personal opinion I believe once all these mangas are finished the order will go

One Piece (One Piece will be extremely popular in its last year)
Attack on Titan
Naruto
Bleach
Fairy Tail
Hunter x Hunter

- Dragon Ball
- Pokemon
- One Piece
- Digimon
- Skip Beat
- Toriko
- Gundam
- Bakuman
- Bleach (it went down a bit in the previous arc, but the current one made it skyrocket again)
- Soul Eater
- Full Metal Alchemist

They are popular, but they don't exceed Naruto manga. Almost every online manga site has Naruto at number #1, One Piece at number #2, Bleach #3 and Fairytail #4.

OT: you have to check out The Breaker and The Breaker: New Waves. It's not as popular as the big 3 (4 if you count Fairytail), but it's pretty good

DBZ trumps all of them followed by One Piece.

Also in Japan Kuruko no Basket is much more popular than Naruto.

Naruto is slipping in Japan, similar thing happened to Bleach.

Fairy Tail and Toriko are still fairly new but no doubt they will be much more popular in a few months

AOT is the big 3 should be worried about. It has only about 48 chapters (if I remember correctly) but already is getting quite popular.

Yeah, but to check out the real popularity of the mangas, you should check out popular online reader sites. There's no doubt that most manga fans read for free and popularity based on manga sales isn't official.

Attack on Titan has a new serialization called Attack on Titan: Before the fall. There's only one chapter out right now...

Lel, Naruto has yet to attain the popularity DBZ (G.O.A.T.) has - and will most definitely not even reach it. Ever. Period.


Also, there are many animes and/or mangas as popular/more popular than Naruto.

One Piece,Bleach and Death Note IMO.... I haven't seen many manga/anime but from what I have seen....
One Piece Plot > Naruto
Death Note > Naruto in twists
Bleach >/= Naruto in fight scenes.... =D =D

And Katekyo Hitman Reborn which has stopped one year ago is still in the top 6 on most manga sites, you know nothing...
Besides Naruto has been going on for a long time and manga sites show popularity based on the amount of how much hits it has. Bleach remained in the top 3 even though 25% of all the readers had quit reading Bleach.

You can't fool anyone (except yourself) by saying that Naruto is more popular then One Piece. Look at the amount of volumes sold world wide, One Piece > Naruto.

in Japan One Piece wipes the floor with Naruto and it's not alone

worldwide it's DB(Z) and One Piece, though I have no idea how popular series like Pokemon are

PS ppl pverhype AND overrate AOT a lot, I like it (I dont read the manga though maybe Im completely off) but imo it only has 2 things going for it 1. animation and 2. the slaughtering which for some reason people love

well, DBZ is favourite because its the oldest manga ever.
