Top 10 Manga Titles Japanese Women Want Their Son to Read


Japanese women in their twenties asked what shonen manga they would like to see their prospective sons reading yield up a list with several interesting surprises.

#10 - Tie between Kochikame & Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
Comment: Not familiar with those two titles.

#8 - Captain Tsubasa
Comment: Football manga, good. Not quite familiar with the plot but I heard it is about fulfilling dreams and goals in life. 

#7 - Fist of the North Star
Comment: O_O

#6 - Touch
Comment: Not familiar with it.

#5 - Black Jack
Comment: Educational considering that Tezuka is a doctor by profession. Plus, its quite dark in tone giving kids a head start in older and mature titles.

#4 - Dragonball
Comment: Weird since I know housewives hates this kind of violence plus the original Dragonball has tons of ecchi scenes regarding Bulma and Master Roshi, giving a rather bad impression that all old men that carry a turtle shell in their back are perverts.

#3 - Doraemon
Comment: Fun, has morals at the end of episode/chapter, should have been ranked one. 

#2 - One Piece
Comment: This. Is. Surprising. *Starts Playing that Lazy Town Song about pirates*

#1 - Slam Dunk
Comment:  I definately agree, this should be ranked 1 since Slam Dunk has a lot of elements that kids must learn while growing up.
