WataMote has a plot? Must have missed that when I read it.

Watamote is light on plot, for sure, but it does have one. Things happen and it does build toward some manner of climax, even if it is slow-paced, with a focus on character interaction above all else. While it doesn't follow conventional/intricate plot structure, saying that Watamote has no plot is just lazy argument.

Something like Tomoko getting her mouth stuck into vacuum cleaner, nearly get her respiratory incapacitated, and desperately struggling to get out of it. That also counts as plot.

If anything, i really find it a little bewildering why so many fans have issues with the lack of a more commonly accepted plot structure with this series (or any other Slice of Life series for that matter). Have to wonder if it's a cultural thing.

Watamote and InuxBokuSS are both much worse plot wise than Naruto.

And that really says something.

Great for Watamote. It's such a funny manga.

It's a shame Attack on Garbage is still in the top 10 though.

Don't be like that man, not cool.

I agree with JD2411...I mean, I do love the anime, but the manga's drawings aren't THAT good...

I can agree with that.

Surprised at #1 and #9, like previous people have mentioned.

Watamote is ok.

InuxBokuSS is a blight on anime/manga.

Its shoujo and shounen fan service merged into the same series with no plot to keep it going.

Probably so, but that fan service is so tasty :DD

It's not even good fan service though.
