abra 40,910 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 2000s: it was obviously op-naruto-bleach (all shounen jump titles) 2010s: op-snk-kingdom/tokyo ghoul all time: op-dragon ball-naruto this seems like the most likely answer tbh Except maybe replace Naruto with Conan or Astro Boy but I guess Naruto is still bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onanimaster 51 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 this seems like the most likely answer tbh Except maybe replace Naruto with Conan or Astro Boy but I guess Naruto is still bigger actually now that you mention it conan has amazing longevity (naruto wishes) and it's definitely a bigger franchise than naruto but i still think naruto's manga was bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OP and DB are by far the biggest but Naruto is probably bigger than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halow31 1,137 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Dragon ball, One piece and naruto seems accurate i'm not saying they're the best shonen out there one piece is but popularity wise they're the most famous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vevi 339 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Dragon Ball & One Piece are the all-time kings of shonen manga. But since DBZ ended the Big 3 were: One Piece Naruto Bleach (tanked in popularity near the end) note: I'm only considering Weekly Shonen Jump Titles, didn't include Shingeki no Kyojin (which is probably 2nd in popularity after One Piece during 2010s till now) after Naruto and Bleach ended I believe its One Piece (BY A HUGE MARGIN) Boku no Hero Academia Black Clover (not sure about this tho)If you're gonna ask me who is the real king of all shonen mangas: H U N T E R X H U N T E R still popular despite ridiculous hiatus, imagine if it didn't go hiatus at all, it might be on One Piece level imo 1. Hunter2. x3. hunter taste Edited August 8, 2018 by Vevi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt 2,914 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 For the longest time it simply referred to Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. I never thought it was an opinion thing - just a matter-of-fact thing that those three were the most popular. Idk what the current Big 3 would be but I guess they're all from Jump by default?

Edit: HXH is always on a league of its own, lmfao. Still selling a million copies despite all the awful hiatuses. Sent from my LG-D690 using Tapatalk Most accurate listing. But I think these days the 'Big 3' term doesn't really apply anymore because manga/anime reaches a wider international audience. It used to only be coined the 'Big Three' because what used to be available to us over the internet was limited. Both official and unofficial translators were selective in what was translated years ago and everyone talked about the same manga/anime because there was less options to choose from. Also, I feel like after Bleach took a nose-dive in popularity running towards the end of the manga and with Naruto finishing, there has not been another manga to replace them. Instead, there a lot of new manga popping up and disappearing soon after, none of which have had mainstay popularity of the likes of Naruto and Bleach. The new manga being new and not lasting long, plus everything else apart from One Piece are all equally popular with none dominating over the other, is probably why nothing seems to be hitting big or big enough to be termed the 'Big Three'. This is probably why even after many years, when people are asked what are the 'Big Three', the usual response is One Piece, Naruto and Bleach, even though there have been break out hits such as Attack On Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, One Punch Man etc. Here is a table of the top-selling manga from 2017 in Japan: Top-Selling Manga in Japan by Series: 2017 - News - Anime News Network:AU Apart from One Piece, everything else is selling within close proximity to each other and apart from One Piece this ranking changes A LOT every year (and it usually depends on which manga gets an anime adaptation or new anime season, what's hot and what's not that year). Kingdom is probably the only exception on this list in which the manga getting popular is not related to its terrible anime adaptation. A table showing the top-selling manga in Japan in the first half of 2018: Top-Selling Manga in Japan by Series: 2018 (First Half) - News - Anime News Network:AU Note: One Piece manga looks like it's not selling well and really close to the others, but in reality One Piece manga had A LOT of breaks this year and it has only released ONE VOLUME so far compared to say Attack On Titan which has released two volumes within the same time period. One Piece still outselling the rest even with one volume out this year. Edited September 14, 2018 by LearningABC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
