Published by Gintoki on March 20, 2022March 20, 2022

The manga industry has grown enormously in the past couple of years and has turned out to be the biggest source of entertainment around the world. Fans from all over the globe are getting accustomed to the miraculous culture of reading mangas. More than 500+ categories of manga are published monthly including popular ones like shōnen, seinen, shojo & rom-com.

In 2020 alone, the net value of the Japanese manga industry was estimated to be around 612 billion yen (US$5.1 billion) and it just keeps increasing every year. But, in such a vast and humongous catalogue of the manga have you ever wondered which one is the top manga of all time?

Today, we are going to cover up this topic and will look at the top 10 manga of all time according to MyAnimeList (MAL) rankings. But, before that, a very general question arises which brings us to the fact that “What’s this so-called MAL?”

MyAnimeList (MAL) is one of the most popular anime & manga social cataloguing application websites run by volunteers to provide its users with a list-like system of top manga and anime in different categories. As MAL is used by a large number of users so its ranking is considered to determine the popularity of different series.

The top 10 highest rated manga of all time according to MAL is as follows:

#1 Berserk by Kentaro Miura (9.43)

#2 JoJo Part 7: Steel Ball Run by Hirohiko Araki (9.27)

#3 One Piece by Eiichiro Oda (9.17)

#4 Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue (9.17)

#5 Monster by Naoki Urasawa (9.12)

#6 Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa (9.07)

#7 Grand Blue by Kenji Inoue (9.06)

#8 Oyasumi Punpun by Inio Asano (9.05)

#9 Slam Dunk by Takehiko Inoue (9.04)

#10 Vinland Saga by Makoto Yukimura (8.99)

Berserk by legendary mangaka Kentaro Miura ranks first in the list of the highest-rated manga of all time with a user rating of 9.43 out of 10. Meanwhile, considered to be the best part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run holds the second position despite having an anime adaptation.

Except for the popular shōnen series, One Piece & Vinland Saga all the manga listed in the list have already completed their serialization a while ago. And, it’s seen to be very rare that two different creations of an author rank in the top 10 as Takehiko Inoue’s written Vagabond & Slam Dunk successfully entered into the top 10 manga list of MAL.
