Animanga in the News: 6/12/11

Here you will find a run down of today's anime and manga news! If anything sent waves through the anime and manga world today, you'll find it in this post! By the way, I'm saladesu, one of the translators and global moderators of MH, and I'll be posting a post like this every day (as much as possible, anyway). Look forward to them ;)




Is there a completed manga you still think of now and then, wondering what the characters have been up to after the end of the series? Cobs.jp asked some 20-year-olds what manga they most wanted to see a continuation of. Inoue Takehiko's basketball epic "SLAM DUNK" and Watsuki Nobuhiro's romantic samurai tale "Rurouni Kenshin" ranked highly for both sexes despite both being shounen manga.

Results for Women

1. Hana Yori Dango (28.5%)
2. SLAM DUNK (22.8%)
3. Nodame Cantabile (20.9%)
4. Aka-chan to Boku (11.9%)
5. Rurouni Kenshin -Meiji Kenkaku Romantan- (11.4%)

In addition to the above list, the female respondents also wanted to read continuations for "DEATH NOTE", "Honey and Clover", "Fruits Basket", "Hanazakari no Kimi-tachi e" and "Fullmetal Alchemist".

Results for Men

1. SLAM DUNK (46.9%)
2. DRAGON BALL (15.2%)
3. Rurouni Kenshin -Meiji Kenkaku Romantan- (13.0%)
4. Yuu Yuu Hakusho (10.8%)
5. DEATH NOTE (10.5%)

In addition to the above list, the female respondents also wanted to read continuations for "Touch", "Hikaru no Go", "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Honey and Clover" and "Aka-chan to Boku".
