In a poll by DIMSDRIVE Research, male and female readers in Japan ranked Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece as the No. 1 manga that has made them cry. Who could’ve guessed that a wacky comedy-adventure about a ragtag crew of pirates on the hunt for treasure and fame would be such a tear-jerker?

Men selected Tetsuya Chiba and Asao Takamori’s boxing manga Tomorrow’s Joe as No. 2, while women chose Riyoko Ikeda’s historical romance The Rose of Versailles. Takehiko Inoue’s basketball series Slam Dunk showed up at No. 4 on both lists.
