CATDOLL: Japanese media selected "the most popular comics to see sequels" and Naruto Slam Dunk is a must

Japanese comics can be said to be an indispensable part of ACG culture. Many popular animations today are also adapted from comics of the same name. However, not all comics can be serialized endlessly, such as "Slam Dunk" and "One Piece". So, for those popular comics that have ended for various reasons, which one do you hope will continue to work hard and recreate their glory? Recently, a Japanese media selected the "comics that most hope to see a sequel". Let's take a look at the results below!

The first one is "Slam Dunk" (Takehiko Inoue/Shueisha)

The legendary sports manga has a dignified ending

The work that won the first place this time can be said to be the representative of sports comics, it is "Slam Dunk". Although the original work has been serialized for almost 20 years, it is still very popular today, and it won with an overwhelming number of votes in this questionnaire. In the work, the bad boy Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is characterized by red hair, changed the trajectory of his life by getting in touch with basketball, and learned the truth of "bonds with friends" and "never give up until the last moment" during practice and competition. Such content touched the hearts of many readers. The saying of the basketball team coach Anzai, "If you give up now, the game will end early", has also become a classic saying. In addition, the author Inoue himself once said, "I will create a sequel when I want to draw it", and in 2004 he also drew "After Day Talk" on the blackboard of an abandoned school building. Therefore, many fans are looking forward to the news that a sequel may be released in the future.

Second place: Dragon Ball (Akira Toriyama/Shueisha)

The animation is pretty good, but please work harder on the manga!

The second place is "Dragon Ball". This is also the battle manga that supported "Weekly Shonen Jump" for 10 years. The battle centered on the protagonist Son Goku also made countless teenagers feel excited. Such popularity not only in China, but also attracted the attention of Hollywood, and a live-action movie was made. Although many fans regard it as a "black history", it also shows how many people love the work. In addition, the animation "Dragon Ball Super" currently being broadcast is written by the author Akira Toriyama, which has attracted a lot of attention. If a sequel comic can be launched at this opportunity, I'm afraid the fans will be extremely happy, right?

The third place: "Boys Over Flowers" (Kamio Yoko/Shueisha)

Popular girls' comics that are also popular among men

This is the only girl manga on this list. The protagonist Makino keeps getting closer to the "F4" who lead the school in the process of conflict. The work is not only well received by women, but also won the support of many men. At present, the work has been adapted into animation, TV series, movies, etc., especially the work of Mao Inoue x Jun Matsumoto has created an amazing record. Perhaps because too many people asked to see the sequel, the author began to serialize the orthodox sequel "Hana Gou Sunny Day ~ Hana Otoko Next Season ~" in February 2015. The work is set in the school after the "F4" graduated and depicts the stories of new characters. Of course, for fans, they may be more interested in what happened to Makino and Daomingsi later!

Tied for fourth place: Death Note (Original work by Tsugumi Ohba, Illustration by Takeshi Obata/Shueisha)

Perhaps due to the influence of the TV series, the work still has unshakable popularity.

Death Note, which has become a hot topic due to its TV series, ranks fourth. Light Yagami got a Death Note that said "if you write a name on it, the owner of the name will die", and in order to stop him, the famous detective L and Light Yagami started a fierce psychological battle. This work does not look like a boys' comic at all. The characters in it keep dying, and even L and the protagonist Light Yagami come to an end in the end. In 2008, the work once launched a short work in the form of a "special edition", telling the story of a new successor appearing after Light's death. So, as long as the Death Note is still there, the incident will continue to happen... right?

Tied for fourth place: Naruto (Masashi Kishimoto/Shueisha)

Let the author take a break.

Last year, the ninja-themed work "Naruto" ushered in the finale. This time it is also tied for fourth place. Like "One Piece", this has been the mainstay of "Weekly Shonen Jump" for many years. Not only in China, but also overseas because of the ninja theme, the work has gained explosive popularity. The protagonist Naruto is also the only one who has won the "100 Most Respected Japanese in the World" as a comic character. Although the main plot has just ended, the author started a short-term serialization of a new plot in 2015. In addition, the theatrical version and other works are still being released. As the author said, "Please let me rest (bitter smile)", so if you are looking forward to the sequel, you should wait a little longer.

In addition, many classic works from previous years have sequels that people are looking forward to, such as "YAWARA!", "Ranma 1/2", "Ashita no Joe", etc. I am afraid that they will continue to remain in the hearts of readers in the future... Comics are really a good thing!
