Oricon Poll: Shoujo Manga Book RankingBeing adapted into drama, movies, and more, Shoujo Manga are catching more and more attention everyday. Now Entertainment Weekly "Oricon Style" has announced the result of its "Sweet Entertainment ~ Shoujo Manga Book Ranking." What kind of Manga is best at stimulating a girl's feeling? Nominated for No. 1 is the story of Komatsu Nana and Ohzaki Nana seeking their fate - Nana. "Fashion is cute, and their love touched me." "Two Nana's, I admire both of them." Many said the idea of two Nana's leading totally opposite lifestyles tickled their heart. Two other titles from Yazawa Ai also ranks at #4 (Tenshi Nanka ja Nai) and #8 (Paradise Kiss) respectively. Nominated for No. 2 is the story of F4, a celebrity group, and the cheerful girl Tsukushi - Hana Yori Dango. "I want to spend my school life full of bishies." "I adore the clumsy relationship between Tsukushi and Domyoji." It's every girl's dream to spend her school life with rich bishies. It has become a trend that after gathering many supporters through Manga, a series is later adapted into movies and/or TV drama, creating bigger hits later on. Nominated for No. 3 is a manga filed with sweet drawings - Hachimitsu to Clover (Honey and Clover). "There are many one-sided loves in the story, and they touch my heart." "I'm happy whenever I read this." 1. Nana |
