They stopped banning troll boost/drop accounts a few weeks back. Thus some people decided that now was the time to start messing with the manga ratings for real by making a couple hundred alts and mass upvoting a couple of series with low member count. As a result Sakura Quest, Yuuki Yuuna (twice), Sora yori, Shirobako and a couple others have ended up with high manga scores out of nowhere. On the flipside you can also see that all the top rated anime have gone down a few points in score at the same time which is probably also caused by these new illegitimate accounts that aren't being removed like they used to be

It's not legitimate and only temporary until the staff team decides to do something about it. As for what or when, don't ask me

Did they decide to stop banning troll accounts only on manga? because im pretty sure they still ban the anime trolls.

Nah it's for everything. You can read Kineta's statement about the situation here:

I think you should try out the series anyways because it is pretty good but I think a person made troll accounts to get it this high

I checked the anime and if the manga is anything like it the score should be closer to an 8, but yeah it's still pretty nice.

The fact that 85% of the scores are 10 should tip you off its trolls randomly trying to upvote a series. It happened a year ago when there was a series about nazis in Africa at #5.

When some guy made a couple hundred bots to upvote it last year. See the stats graph and you can still see them. Just now with the new algorithm in place they are no longer counted of course as they shouldn't be
