Since the late 1980s, various Japanese comics works have immediately become the favorite pastime and spiritual food for generations of young people.

30 years, hundreds of comic works have been born. Among them are all kinds of passionate fantasy, sports, Western magic, and parent-child warmth. Most of these comic works have more or less fan groups in China. So in recent years, through the method of converting comics to games, publishers have made a lot of money.

So, among these hundreds of comic works of different forms, if you want to choose ten of the most influential and most classic works, what should you do?

So, today we will borrow data from Japan's own statistics to sort out which works have sold high enough in Japan/global sales so far. And select the top ten classic works that have a greater influence in the country and are considered more classic. The choice of

is as follows:

1 The sales volume of the work itself must be high enough to reach more than 30 million copies in Japan/global;

2 is available in China and has a great influence enough, and there are enough adaptations of various peripherals;

3 is classic enough to be a leader in sub-categories.

OK, without saying much, the top ten comics rankings are officially launched:

upper part: sales of 30 million to 50 million sets

Tenth place: Three Eyes (historical sales of 33 million copies, 83)

Author: Yuzo Takada

Influence: 3 stars

Classic degree: 3 and a half stars

Reason for selection: a modern folk fantasy work created in combination with myths of many places (India, China, Japan)

Although this comic is not very well-known in China, the plot and settings of the book are all rare masterpieces in ten years.

comic mainly tells the story of the contemporary young student Yamamo Fujii who met Perbari, the only survivor of the ancient Three-eyed Tribe, because of the father of the folklorist, and was rescued by the other party to become the exclusive guard "Wu". From then on, he began his career in confronting the King of the Three-eyed Tribe Shiva and his exclusive No, the Dragon Emperor Benares. The comic

combines ancient Indian and Southeast Asian myths, supplemented by the setting of earth + subspace, and then deduces a complete imaginary myth system. The content setting in

is relatively traditional. Young girls defeat the Demon King. We will not describe it here, but this comic has three characteristics that other passionate comics do not have.

First: "Nothing" and the settings of beast monsters

As the most special setting, the work sets the three-eyed clan as immortal, has strong mental ability, but is relatively weak in body, so a human or monster from other races needs to be transformed into his own exclusive guard, None. The characteristics of

are not as good as immortal, and there is also an extra one that can recover the body under any circumstances. Even if it is beaten to the size of gravel, it can recover by itself after a period of restoration. There is an upper limit for instantaneous power, but if the master's three eyes are threatened by life, it can break through the upper limit and unlimited activation ability. If the owner dies, the corresponding none will die.

, and, because of the infinite energy of "no" it can infinitely summon beast magic techniques that can squeeze ordinary people out.

In the original work, the most special fight scene is the battle between Yakumo Fujii and Benares. In the later stage, the two summoned many powerful beasts and demons and restrained each other, which is the most memorable scene.

Second: Settings of the dual personality of the three-eye clan

is also the most prominent comic with dual personality. Because of living for too long, most of the three eyes split into multiple personalities in the later stages, especially the heroine Perbaly.

A original ecological puppet with a innocent heart and no idea about anything, and another arrogant and powerful three-eyed puppet with a proud and powerful and scheming puppet. Watching the two heroines jealous for Yamamo Fujii is also one of the selling points of the later plot.

Third: Dragon Emperor Benares' setting

Finally, compared with the final BOSS Ghost Eye King, Benares' setting is more profound.

As a huge dragon clan that can swallow three eyes, Benares does not have the distinction between justice and evil in his heart. His pursuit is to have stronger and more extreme power.

He neither fought for his master Ghost Eye King (of course he had to ensure that the other party was not dead), nor did he fight to eliminate Yasuo Fujii. Instead, in previous confrontations, he tried his best to leave room for Yasuo Fujii to grow so that he could finally make his fight full. The strange mentality setting of

is in sharp contrast with Benares' strong strength, and it also leaves a very deep impression on later readers.

Overall, 3 Eyes are a relatively niche and boutique comic, but the extremely unique setting allows him to defeat works such as " One Punch Man " and " Sailor Moon ", ranking tenth.

ninth place: Saint Seiya (historical sales of 35 million copies, 75)

Author: Masami Hachida

Influence: 3 and a half stars

Classic degree: 3 and a half stars

Reason for selection: Enlightenment reading for domestic comic fans, modern super mythical passionate boy manga

I don’t need to say more about this comic.

is the first Japanese hot-blooded boy comic to be introduced into China (although it is a pirated version, I still have to thank Himi). Saint Seiya's status and popularity in China are no problem saying that it is the top five.

There are three points to say that the greatest success of this comic:

combines many mythological systems to form a super mythological system with the Saint Clothes as the core;

The protagonist Wu Xiaoqiang with different personalities (strike away) - Golden Saints;

Just meet, the fight that will never be fought and the protagonist who will never be beaten. I believe everyone has remembered the success of this comic very profoundly.

's unique Saint Clothing setting makes it a Saint Seiya dreamed of many readers when they were young, and Seiya, who will never be killed, has become an idol in the hearts of countless Saint Seiya, with those Golden Saint Seiya with distinct personalities and different personalities.

Because of its binding to the constellation, this most powerful sense of identity for the zodiac Saints I am in makes the twelve Golden Saints suspicious of being overwhelmed by the host.

Of course, while its characteristics are distinct, this comic also has many flaws. Although

has huge settings, the author's lack of detailed grasp ability, which often leads to the occurrence of eating books;

and fighting performances are too repetitive, and in the later stage, everyone no longer feels new, etc.

If the author can grasp these issues better, the comic will probably be ranked higher, but unfortunately, Saint Seiya eventually became the ninth among the top ten comics with such a distinctive attitude of both advantages and disadvantages.

No. 8: Youyou Baishu (historical sales of 50 million copies, 43)

Author: Yoshihiro Fukuan

Influence: 3-star

Classic degree: 4-star

Reason for selection: Fukuan's famous work, the perfect combination of commercialization and innovation, laid the foundation for the future status of the four-person protagonist group

Although Fukuan's old thief's works, full-time hunter is more well-known and has more sales. But if I were asked to choose, I would still choose Youyou Baishu as one of the top ten comics.

Although Fujian's old thief's brushwork has not yet reached its peak at this time, the unique youthful atmosphere and wild imagination in Youyoubai's book were not available to hunters later.

The four-person group of protagonists led by Youzhu has achieved all the unprecedented success in Youyou Baishu.

Among them, the small man, the cold but warm Feiying , which is gentle and polite, and the noble young man, broke the set limits of the protagonist at that time and became the most memorable character.

and even later in the era of full-time hunter, Fukuan Yoshihiro still used this setting and put the flying shadow on Killua and the hidden horse on Kurapika . It can be seen that the influence of Youyou Baishu is so great that the old thief Fukuan who likes to be innovative can't help but say the law of true fragrance.

Of course, another reason why this comic is not that powerful is because it is completed too quickly. From 1990 to 1994, the whole book has only been serialized for 4 years. Compared with the works that have been serialized for 20 years later, the total sales of Youyou Baishu is only 50 million copies, which does not seem to be a drag on the hierarchy.

lower part: sales volume 500 million to 500 million sets

Seventh place: spicy teacher GTO (historical sales volume 50 million copies, 43)

Author: Fujisawa Yuki

Influence: 4-star

Classic degree: 4-star

Reason for selection: The pinnacle of contemporary teacher-themed comics, and it is also the comic adapted to the most film and television works

0 works that span student themes and teacher themes. It is also the comic that reflects the most real problems. The protagonist of the

work, Eiyoshi Onitsuka, is a big boy who comes from the rampage tribe, with a simple mind and physical strength, but has a clear view of right and wrong in his heart. A role like

entered a noble school that seemed glamorous at the time, but in fact it was bullying for students. Teachers only focused on grades, regardless of students' psychological state. When the two collide, the result can naturally be imagined.

readers enjoy the pleasure of counterattack while Onitsuka's repeated Jedi slaps in the face.

The cool online articles that Chinese readers enjoyed 10 years later, GTO took the lead in doing so 10 years in advance.

Another thing worth mentioning is that because this comic is too realistic and suitable for shooting, in the following time, a series of live-action film and television works with GTO as the theme were filmed.

, especially the spicy teacher GTO TV series filmed in 1996, starring popular young actors Amamachi Takashi and Matsushima Naoko , won multiple grand prizes and a rating of more than 30%, becoming the most popular TV series of that year. The two starring actors also got married until today.

In the comic field, GTO is already a very outstanding classic work. However, in the field of film and television dramas, GTO's achievements are even higher than those of comics, which was a big anecdote at that time.

No. 6: Three Kingdoms (Historical sales of 80 million copies, 24)

Author: Yokoyama Guanghui

Influence: 3 and a half stars

Classic degree: 5 stars

Reason for selection: Let the Japanese re-understand the classic works of the Three Kingdoms era, with high intentions and great magnificence, no one can compare with

This work should be the least influential among the top ten comics in China. But relatively speaking, this comic is not the first influential movie in Japan, but also has the top three.

So many Three Kingdoms series of works we have seen today, as well as the Three Kingdoms hot in Japan. It is absolutely no problem to attribute half of the credit to this work.

This book is based on the history of the Three Kingdoms period. It starts with the Taoyuan vows to the reunification of the Three Kingdoms. It uses a full 60 volumes to describe which magnificent Three Kingdoms era. Its content is so large that it is also a super-length masterpiece in Japanese comics.

, and this comic has a greater impact on Japan than its content level.

To be honest, this comic is an enlightenment book for the Three Kingdoms era in Japan. Why is the Three Kingdoms era now in Japan far more influential than any other era in China? The Japanese even have a clear understanding of the role of the Three Kingdoms. At least half of this is attributed to this comic.

Although the design of the character image is far from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in our hearts, this comic indeed gets the essence of the novel and further amplifies the positioning of Liu Bei as the protagonist.

What is even more rare and valuable is that for scenes like Yellow Turban Army , Zhuge Liang , etc., the author also gave what he thought was relatively scientific. Further consolidate the attributes of this book as an enlightenment reading material.

Generally speaking, it is precisely because of Yokoyama's glorious Three Kingdoms that Japan is so obsessed with the Three Kingdoms era, and there will be a series of subsequent Three Kingdoms series, Devouring the World and other game works.

Fans who like glorious can salute Hengshan’s glorious Three Kingdoms.

fifth place: football player (historical sales of 82 million copies, 22)

Author: Takahashi Yoichi

Influence: 5-star

Classic degree: 4-star

Reason for selection: The peak work of sports has influenced the lives of a generation of football fans all over the world

and another peak work of sports type: Slam Dunk master, although the football player is slightly inferior in plot design and influence in Asia. But the impact on the entire world, especially the football world, is unparalleled.

As the protagonist of the story, Big Air Wing and his partners have a feature that is incomparable to other comics, that is, through the character creation of comics, it has influenced a large number of young people to pursue their football dreams in reality and finally succeeded - and it is both in Europe and America.

For example, Iniesta :

And like Torres:

And like Piero:

You're welcome to say that the role of young football players has made indelible in the past 30 years. Whether it is to make more young people willing to join the green field or to make more foreign professional players have a good impression of Japanese football, it is thanks to the young football player.

Because of this reason, although the slam dunk masters are higher than those of football players from style, storyline, plot and sales - but Japanese basketball has not risen because of this?

fourth place: Doraemon (historical sales of 170 million copies, 7)

Author: Fujiko.F. Fujio

Influence: 5-star

Classic degree: 4 and a half stars

Reason for selection: The highest work in children's science fiction, no need to mention the level of classics, right?

The best science fiction book for children in the true sense, eternal life, and contributes the memes of the first generation of eternal primary school students.

has been serialized since 1970, and Doraemon has been serialized for more than 50 years. It has been drawn by the first author Hiroshi Fujimoto ( Fujiko F·F·Fujio ), 1345 times, and his apprentice has continued to serialize until today. More than 40 movies and animations related to

have been produced, with a total box office of more than 100 billion yen.

Nobita , a primary school student who had been in elementary school 50 years ago, returned with the Doctor Cat, the future era of the Doctor Cat, who is afraid of mice but seems to be omnipotent, has also become the most famous partner in comic history.

For this comic, we don’t need to tell what it actually paints and how great it is. We just need to remember a little bit.

That is: This is the only comic that will not have bad reviews in China, Japan and even the world.

Third place: Naruto (historical sales of 250 million copies, 4)

Author: Kishimoto Sashi

Influence: 5-star

Classic degree: 5-star

Reason for selection: One of the three major migrant workers comics, a work that brings the Japanese local ninja culture to the extreme

One of the three contemporary imperial families, and is known as the legendary comic of the three major migrant workers comics together with the Death Pirates.

chose Naruto instead of Death because both are the peak of comics in Japanese local culture (Death is in principle a samurai class). But Naruto has a greater influence than Death, and the unfinished Death also makes him lose the qualification to compete for the top ten comics.

As the Naruto, which brings the ninja culture to the extreme, it inherits the fighting and friendship in the passionate manga, and at the same time fully displays the cruel side of the ninja world to readers.

Various bizarre settings and ninjutsu are one of the reasons why many readers are attracted to Naruto: chakra , tailed beast , sage, filthy land reincarnation , spireman, etc. are all content that readers cannot see in other comics.

In contrast, the friendship entanglement between the protagonist Naruto and Sasuke is not so prominent.

No matter what, this comic brings a Japanese secret culture to the whole world as a symbol of its soft power. However, unlike other comics that mainly promote film and television, Naruto has achieved greater results in game adaptation because of its careful setting, complete world view and large number of characters.

There are dozens of mobile games sold in China alone, with hundreds of millions of monthly flows, and tens of millions of them.

This is also considered to be the comic of Naruto, another special success point.

second place: One Piece (historical sales of 470 million copies, 1)

Author: Eiichiro Oda

Influence: 5 stars +

Classic degree: 5 stars

Reason for selection: one of the three major migrant worker comics, the peak of the historical sales champion hot-blooded comics

Also known as one of the three major migrant worker comics, one of the three major migrant worker comics, as well as Naruto and Death, has become the highest-selling comics in the world today because of their broader pirate worldview than Naruto and super long release cycle, and has become the highest-selling comics in the world today, without a single one of them.

has been serialized in 1997 for nearly 25 years with extremely high production, and has released 103 volumes and nearly 1,100 episodes.

content ranks 3 times that of Dragon Ball and 6 times that of Youyou Baishu (Yohiro Tomokari said there is no pressure). The main story of the

manga is very similar to that of Naruto. It is both a road film where a teenager strives to become the strongest. However, unlike the worldview and a more profound perspective that Naruto unfolds in the middle and late stages, One Piece always takes Luffy as the main perspective, while readers accompany the Straw Hat Group, watching their growth and the increase in bounty along the way. The setting of

, combined with the pirate worldview and the atmosphere of fighting in the waves of the sea, can naturally bring readers more passion and friendship.

This is why the comic of One Piece can resonate with more people, thus becoming the most released comic in history. None of them (as of August 2022, One Piece's sales are still increasing, and the latest figure is 510 million copies).

Of course, although One Piece’s story and character are both top-notch and sales are also the top 1 in history, it can only rank second in this ranking, and there is another comic work above it.

No. 1: Dragon Ball (historical sales of 260 million copies, 3)

Author: Akira Toriyama

Influence: 5 stars +

Classic degree: 5 stars +

Reason for selection: So far, the comic that has the greatest impact on humans

This is an adventure story of a young man named Monkey King and his partner in the Dragon Ball world. How should I evaluate the Dragon Ball work

? "It created an era of Japanese comics and an era of world comics history." This sentence should be more appropriate.

After all, starting with Dragon Ball, we have some understanding of the passionate comics composed of words such as passionate, adventure, friendship, and fighting. To be honest, the works mentioned above such as One Piece, Naruto, and Yuyu Shiraku were somewhat influenced by Dragon Ball to reach their current heights. Which of the settings in Dragon Balls such as combat power, Saiyan, Dragon Ball, Capsule, Turtle School Qigong

are not well-known to the public now? Even if you are a person who has never read comics at all, you will learn about the work Dragon Ball through many videos.

I think there is no need to say anything more about the greatness of this comic.

In 2009, it was selected as the "600 Most Influential Books in China in 60 Years of New China" jointly selected by China Bookshop News and China Publishing Research Institute

The above sentence basically shows that the success of Dragon Ball is to transcend nationality and category. So when people talk about Japanese comics, the first iconic symbol that comes to mind is Dragon Ball.

Therefore, Dragon Ball deserves its reputation as the top ten comics.

Conclusion

or above is what I think Japanese comics have the most influential and most classic ten comics.

Of course, because there are too many excellent comics, there will definitely be many people with different opinions on the list of these ten comics. If you think the top ten comics in your mind should be another ranking, you might as well leave a message in the comment section and tell us the ranking of the top ten comics in your mind to see if they will get more people’s approval!
