Rokudenashi Blues is the most under appreciated and overlooked manga in WSJ history. Morita Masanori is one of the most technically proficient mangaka ever (not an exaggeration), RokuBlues was a huge hit and ran alongside some of the greats in the peak era of delinquent manga. It’s also one of the best selling manga in history.
Despite all of this it hasn’t been fully scanlated and all sorts of groups have picked it up and dropped it. It’s not even halfway through and worst of all is that barely anyone in the west knows about it, even in manga communities such as this one. Only Frenchies appreciate it.

I mean doraemon already ended, tho. Generally most people who is in this sub seem like teen to adult, so kodomo manga like doraemon and shin chan won't get regconition much if they are not growing up reading it

Rokudenashi Blues is amazing! I read it up to where the translations stopped, and it’s so sad how no one wants to continue it. The author (Morita Masanori) was also the assistant to Tetsuo Hara (artist and co-writer of hokuto no ken.) I feel like rokudenashi borrows a lot of the character designs from hokuto no ken but the story is a lot more believable + the characters are written so much better. Morita also wrote Rookies! And that’s great in its own right. One of my favorite mangas of all time, and I’m damn sure if someone finished translating Rokudenashi Blues it’d be way up there too.

I wish I could read kochikame, they dubbed the anime in Spain and it was one of the most fun animes I've seen.

hadn't even heard of a lot of these, interesting

Imagine if Bleach was allowed to finish properly. Could've been 3rd place

The problem with Bleach is that it was too long, not too short.
42
being long isn't a problem. it's the wobbly plot, inconsistency and the fact that kubo's forced to change his plans for the series that became its downfall.

being long isn't a problem.
Every single arc post Aizen is unecessary.
It was too long.
6†
because the story past that is literally.. hollow. fullbringers and the quincies felt really forced into the plot, plus the storyflow became too generic shounen-ish with many characters served as nothing more than as plot device with zero developments. kubo's penchant of using dragged expositions and rhetorical/philosophical banters also made things more insufferable.
i agree that pre-aizen is undoubtedly where bleach shines the most. i really miss the excitement seeing ichigo & co developing from normal teenagers to storming a city full of death gods. though the start of hueco mundo arc marks bleach's slight decline for me with the OG crew (sado, orihime, ishida, tatsuki etc) quickly losing relevance as the powercreep became too extreme and the story's getting too focused on the shinigamis.

Kubo finished it when he wanted
11
Still it would have probably went longer if he wasn't having health issues.
1
Kubo was allowed plenty of time to finish properly. He was the one who chose to spend a full month on side characters fighting a fucking hand, and etc.

end blech when aizen lost and we wouldnt have lost anything(the power ups in the end were cool but they happened in such a cadency that it would be hard to value each of then properly

Ain't that the truth.
1
What I'm wondering is why are they considering discarding part 6 from JoJo
5
Yeah, I didn't understand that part. Part 6 of Jojo always run on Shonen Jump, unlike the others that came later.
3
Perhaps it might be because the numbering restarted at Part 6 (back to chapter 1)? Still wouldn't make a whole lot of sense though.

I guess even with Darkness, TLR didn't run long enough to get any kind of special mention like Nube?
4
TLR had 162 chapters, Darkness had 77. That’s 239 total. It only seems longer because Darkness was monthly and therefore had chapters with more pages.
4
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the top 6 were all in serialization together for the 2000's and part of the 2010's. Crazy how much of a transition SJ has gone through the last 5 years

Why is Haikyuu bolded?
3
Probably because aside from the obviously ongoing #2 ^(Also hiatus x hiatus) it's the only one that's ongoing in the middle and will definitely go up in the rankings before ending.

RIP Toriko, ended too soon

Loved the kochikame anime.

When you think about it, Hunter X Hunter should be way longer.
Such a masterpiece stuck in hiatus hell. :(
Get well soon sensei

Why 22? Why Top ? It implies voting but it is just a list of who has the most chapters
-29
It implies voting
What? No it doesn't. Top 22 longest manga implies that it's the 22 longest manga.
38
Then its probably just a difference for me personally.
When I search for something its 10 best/fastest 100m running times, not top 10
Top 10 is more like "we asked 100 people to rank something" to me, more subjective.
-19
This fits nicely in my list of Top 10 Stupidest Comments.
28
But we didn't vote!? /s

Nice! When you list it in a youtube video link it to me.
So I can put it to all the other top 10 videos that lead me to start thinking of it differently.

You have to look at something with the context at hand. Top 10 LONGEST.
Longest is not something that can be judged by the opinions of others, it’s simply ranked by numbers.
To be really honest, the word “best” is usually something linked to opinions made by others.
Like the “10 best manga”. Now that’s an opinion.
But with “10 best running times”, that’s simply just facts judged by numbers.
Best can be of both worlds. Longest cannot be.
There may be a difference in how you see the first words of a sentence, that is true, but why stop there? Read the whole sentence. Look at it in context.

Fair Point.
Yea Im probably too hung up over the word alone, without considering the context it is in.

It's top because there's a list from biggest to lowest..
Why 22? Idk, it wasn't me who made the list.

Ippo started almost 10 years before One piece
Ippo isn’t in jump right ? It’s up to almost 1300 now

It’s getting interesting again ! The whole punch drunk arc was lame but I’m glad I stuck with it. It’s one of my favorites
