CATDOLL: College students vote for "comics that are too long to read" and many long masterpieces are included in the list

Among Japanese comics, there are many that are long, and there are also many that have been serialized for more than 10 years. These works are generally popular (those with low popularity will definitely be cut short...). However, even the most popular comics will face the situation where many people abandon them because the works have been serialized for too long. So which long-running comics will face this embarrassing situation? Recently, a Japanese media conducted a survey on college students and found that those long-running masterpieces were all caught in the crossfire.

One Piece

This comic indeed received the most votes. Although it is the best-selling comic in the world, it cannot be denied that the number of people who gave up on it was the largest due to the long serialization time.

“Halfway through the film, I started to not understand what the plot was about.” (Female/18/Freshman)

“Animation is interesting, so I wanted to try reading comics, but I gave up because they were too long.” (Male/19 years old/Sophomore)

“I gave up buying more when I was halfway through.” (Male/20 years old/junior)

"It's too long, and the plot is a bit confusing." (Female/20 years old/junior college)

Naruto

Although the Naruto manga has been completed, there are still many sequels. Moreover, the time span of this work is really not small, and the plot is a bit hasty. It feels like you can't catch up if you fall behind.

“When I started to get interested in this work, it had already been serialized for a long time.” (Male/21 years old/senior year)

“It’s really not easy to keep up with the plot.” (Male/21 years old/junior)

“I gradually lost interest in the work.” (Male/21 years old/junior)

“Just when I wanted to start watching, I found out it was already finished. So for some reason I didn’t want to watch it anymore.” (Male/19 years old/Freshman)

"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"

“I followed the series back then, but gave up halfway through and ended up not reading it in the end.” (Female/19/freshman)

“I tried to finish it in one sitting in an internet cafe, but found it too difficult.” (Male/23 years old/graduate student)

“There are too many volumes and not enough time to read them all.” (Male/23 years old/graduate student)

Detective Conan

“It’s interesting, but I have no idea when it will end. So I don’t know when I’ll stop watching.” (Female/21/senior year)

“The plot is too long and the main plot doesn’t progress much.” (Male/21 years old/senior year)

"I used to buy it, but now I don't understand what it's trying to say." (Male/21 years old/junior college)

"grim Reaper"

“The plot is developing too slowly, making it hard to keep watching.” (Female/20 years old/sophomore)

"It was very interesting at the beginning, but then the story became boring." (Female/22 years old/senior year)

“It was really good at first, but then it became boring because it was almost the same routine over and over again.” (Male/21 years old/junior)

If the comics are serialized for too long, it will be a big test for the readers' energy and finances. However, there are many electronic comics online now, which makes it much more convenient to collect and read. Some comics are about to be finished, so you might as well find some time to read them.
