IMPORTANT: You must vote for each entry not just one, you may self vote. If I see some suspicious vote brigading or anything of the sort the entry will be disqualified.

This round features 12 manga so 6 fights. May the best ones win :optimistic:


FIRST FIGHT



One Piece
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming the King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again! Now Luffy, with the help of a motley collection of nakama, is setting off in search of "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world...



VS



Hitman Reborn
Tsuna comes home one day, only to be greeted by a little baby mafioso who apparently is his new home tutor. His job is to guide Tsuna into his role as the 10th Boss of the Vongola mafia family. With the help of all his new friends and an array of special items such as the "Dying Will Bullet", he might just be able to do it.



SECOND FIGHT

Berserk
His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned - and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death or vengeance.


VS



Ranma 1/2
Being a teenage martial artist isn't easy, especially for Ranma Saotome, who went through a major transformation on a training mission with his father. After an accidental dunk into a legendary cursed spring in China, Ranma now changes into a girl every time he's splashed with cold water. That would be enough to complicate anyone's life, even without the arranged fiance who doesn't like him (or says she doesn't) and the constant stream of rivals and suitors for both his male and female forms. What's a half-guy, half-girl to do?



THIRD FIGHT

Moriarty the Patriot
In the late 19th century, Great Britain rules over a quarter of the world. Nobles sit in their fancy homes in comfort and luxury, while the working-class slave away at their jobs. When young Albert James Moriarty’s upper-class family adopts two lower-class orphans, the cruelty the boys experience at his family’s hands cements Albert’s hatred of the nobility he was born into. He asks the older of the two boys - who has a genius mind and a killer instinctβ€”to help him rid the world of evil, starting with Albert’s own family.


VS



Rave Master
The Continent of Song is in chaos. The sinister secret society known as Demon Card is using the power of Dark Bring to destroy everything in their path. The only things capable of stopping Dark Bring are the Rave stones. Unfortunately, the Rave Stones were scattered around the globe in an explosion 50 years ago, so now they must be collected by the Rave Master in order to stop Dark Bring once and for all. This new task has been given to Haru Glory; a sixteen-year-old boy from Garage Island. The World's fate now rests on the new, young Rave Master.



FOURTH FIGHT

Akira
Akira is set in the post-apocalypse Neo-Tokyo of 2030, a vast metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an apocalyptic blast of unknown power that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who becomes a target for a shadowy government operation, a group who will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like that which leveled Tokyo. And at the core of their motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear: a fear of someone -- or something -- of unthinkably monstrous power known only as...Akira.


VS



Claymore
In a world where monsters called Yoma prey on humans and live among them in disguise, humanity's only hope is a new breed of warrior known as Claymores. Half human, half monster, these silver-eyed slayers possess supernatural strength, but are condemned to fight their savage impulses or lose their humanity completely.



FIFTH FIGHT

Vagabond
At seventeen years of age, Miyamoto Musashi, still known by his childhood name, Shinmen Takezō was a wild young brute just setting out along the way of the sword. In the aftermath of the epic Battle of Sekigahara, Takezō finds himself a fugitive survivor on the losing side of the war. Takezō's vicious nature has made him an outcast even in his own village, and he is hunted down like an animal. At this crucial crossroads in Takezō's life, an eccentric monk and a childhood friend are the only ones who can help him find his way.


VS


Goblin Slayer
A young priestess joins her first adventuring party but almost immediately encounters the most unspeakable horrors. Rescued by an enigmatic warrior called Goblin Slayer, she partners with her savior on his mission to exterminate all goblins by any means necessary. When rumors of Goblin Slayer's feats begin circulating, there's no telling who might come calling next.



SIXTH FIGHT

Soul Eater
Maka is a weapon meister, determined to turn her partner, a living scythe named Soul Eater, into a powerful death scythe β€” the ultimate weapon of Death himself! Charged with the task of collecting and devouring the tainted souls of ninety-nine humans and one witch, Maka and her fellow meisters strive to master their weapons as they face off against the bizarre and dangerous minions of the underworld. But the meisters’ own personal quirks may prove a bigger obstacle than any sultry enchantress.


VS



Shin Chan
Set in the city of Kasukabe of Saitama Prefecture within the Greater Tokyo Area of Japan, the series follows the adventures of the five-year-old Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara and his parents, baby sister, dog, neighbours, and best friends. Most of the plot is about Shin-chan's daily life, but it is also often interspersed with a lot of fantastic and incredible elements.

F6 breaks my heart...I will have to ask chatGPT what it thinks of F6 and how it would vote, I will paste the results in a bit.

Hey! That’s a fun matchup β€” but also kind of a wild one, since "Soul Eater" and "Shin Chan" are extremely different in tone, art style, and purpose. So my answer will depend a bit on what you mean by β€œbetter.” Let’s break it down a bit:


πŸŒ€ "Soul Eater"

  • Genre: Action, dark fantasy, supernatural
  • Tone: Intense, stylish, dramatic with moments of comedy
  • Art Style: Bold, stylized, with Tim Burton-esque influences
  • Strengths:
    • Deep world-building
    • A strong mix of action and emotional storytelling
    • Dynamic fight scenes and character designs
    • A narrative that gets more mature as it progresses

πŸ€ͺ "Shin Chan"

  • Genre: Comedy, slice-of-life, satire
  • Tone: Crude, hilarious, absurd
  • Art Style: Simple and cartoony
  • Strengths:
    • Sharp satire and social commentary
    • Consistent humor over hundreds of chapters
    • Unapologetically weird and original
    • A cultural icon in Japan and beyond

πŸ—³οΈ If I Had to Vote...

I’d vote for "Soul Eater" if we’re talking about storytelling, art quality, and narrative ambition. It’s a full-fledged action-fantasy manga with arcs, character development, and stakes. It’s more traditional in that β€œmanga masterpiece” sense.


But...


If we’re talking cultural impact, humor, and longevity, "Shin Chan" is kind of a genius. It’s not trying to tell an epic story; it’s just relentlessly weird and funny in a way that’s incredibly hard to sustain over decades. It’s more of a gag manga institution.


TL;DR:

If I had to pick one as the "better" manga from a storytelling and artistic standpoint, I’d vote Soul Eater.
But if I were voting for cultural irreverence and comedic influence, Shin Chan deserves serious respect.


Which one do you lean toward?
