In a survey conducted in February, Oricon asked 900 men and women between the ages of 10 and 40 to name the funniest manga they had read. While a wide variety of answers were given, the highest ranking one was "Gintama," favored mainly by female readers.

"One Piece" came in second, while "Ping Pong Club" tied with "Sexy Commando" for #3. "Gyagu Manga Biyori," the only title to make the top 5 among both men and women, ranked in at #5.

"Urayasu Tekkin Kazoku" and "Nodame Cantabile" tied for #6. At #8 was the long-running "Kochira Katsushikaku Kameari Kouenmae Hashutsujo," which made the top of the men's list. The last two titles in the Top 10 were "Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar" and "Lovely Complex."
