And yes, Kakukaku Shikajika is amazing.

But when it comes to pure entertainment value, it's Boku no Hero Academia for me. Why? Because it's a shounen with highly relatable protag, well-timed humor, lots of asskicking and explosions, and endless stock of hot blooded characters.

Gotta check Kakukaku Shikajika right now.

Adding Mahoutsukai no Yome, Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, and Ballroom e Youkoso to my PTR.

Boku dake ga Inai Machi is such an underrated manga.
I agree. And it doesn't seem that it is underrated, it's just not as popular and widely-read as other well-known manga.

KakuKaku is amazing, I really admire Higashimura's homage to her teacher, it has something unique in the manga format, something refreshing.

What do the star markings from 1st to 9th place, as well as 8 pts for the 14th place represent?
