No offensive to my most beloved anime series of all time but Fist of the North Star should be #1 on this list. The anime is made of testosterone and manliness! Watching less than 5 minutes of Fist of the North Star will not only put hair to your chest but you'll grow kick ass grizzly Adams beard too!

And what the hell is Naruto doing on that list?!

It's all about becoming a man. Espicially the Pain arc, for the series' lead.

Yeah, but Sasuke is a pussy, and that drags the whole series down.



Also, this is getting on my nerves...but can someone please change the title of the thread to "The Manliest Manga" instead of "Most Manliest Manga" because it's really starting to irk me. :? :P

I think Bastard!! or Fist of The North Star should be #1. Hard to believe Naruto made up to #9.

300 is obviously the manliest manga of all.

300 isn't even a manga, it's an american comic.

That's how manly it is. It went over there and kicked all those lesser comics in the balls.

No, One Piece is pure EMO, Naruto deserves to be in the top ten because it is a manga focused on battle like Dragonball. I'm shocked Yu Yu Hakushou wasn't in the top ten or a Gundam wing series!

One Piece isn't pure emo, sheesh....
Roronoa Zoro, Shanks, Whitebeard etc. are pure manliness and deserves more than Naruto a spot on the top 10.

A standard episode of Naruto is 5 minutes of action, tops, and the rest is 'emo'. I really wish this wasn't an exaggeration. If you cut out all the nonsense, the fights would actually be interesting.

I almost can't tell if your post was sarcastic, because Gundam Wing is one of the most angsty of all the Gundam series', and that's saying something.

Labeling One Piece as "emo" has to be the most hilariously wrong thing I've seen in ages.

Whitebeard isn't doing anything in the war but standing there and the attention is focused back on EMO Luffy/Ace ever sinced he joined the battle. Shanks is RARELY ever even shown and I will give you Zoro though, he is bad ass. But Madara Uchiha, Pain/Nagato, Eight-tails, Kisame, J-man, Kakashi, Zabuza, and Deidara from naruto smash one piece.

Miracles, please don't start another one of your trademark trolling-tirades like I've seen you do so many times elsewhere. Let's keep the discussion relevant to the topic.

I am happy to see Hajime No Ippo so high up on the list. It's as manly as it gets. :D

No, One Piece is pure EMO,

HA HA OH WOW, never thought I'd hear this opinion. One Piece is the complete opposite of emo, it's overly cheery and happy and full of love and friendship.

(I do like One Piece, but that's really one of its flaws in my eyes. I have nothing against camaraderie but when you're constantly spouting lines about how "WE LOVE EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE ARE FRIENDLY FRIENDS WHO ARE CREWMATES AND ALSO FRIENDS BECAUSE OF FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE! FRIENDS!!!" for every single chapter it gets old.)
My friend broke my PSP just in time for Naruto Ultimate Ninja 5 to come out....WHOOOO!

Once again, those spouting out the word "emo" don't even seem to have half a clue what the fuck it actually is.

Anyway, back on topic (is there really one to have?), or locky-locky :). Thanks!

To be honest, I am a little surprised Dragon Ball was #1 on the list, but when Oda mentioned that he made One Piece for kids, it was because Dragon Ball was already so manly.


Sort of weird seeing it come true like this... :shock:
