TOP 10 ANIMANGA ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS (2009-2022)
To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Anime & Manga Category on December 4 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race. November 2022 is basedon November 11, 2022 data.
Miraculous Ladybug was actually in the top 10 Anime & Manga from 2016-2021, before it was finally removed from the Animanga category in 2022. I'm excluding it in the rankings since it shouldn't have been in the animanga category in the first place.
CLAMP - Works was actually in 9th place in December 2013, but too many series were moving up and down the rankings at the time so it was impossible to catch a glimpse of it.
Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏
ETA: Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.
"doomed yuri" this, "tragedy" that. Ok but what if they were happy?? What if they were in love and they were happy??? Horikoshi you coward answer my calls
Spur of the moment kiss under the mistletoe, where neither were expecting it... with a help from friends who couldn't wait for Momo or Kyoka to FINALLY MAKE A MOVE :D
if I had a penny for every time I see a fire wielding character with a dark backstory of daddy issues and facial burn scars caused by those same fathers I’d have three pennies, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened three times.
What happened to when fanfics had a whole plot to them y'know a good storyline now you mainly just see them getting straight to the point now don't get me wrong those are good for when you don't want to read a whole fanfiction but when you want something with a storyline to it with whatever characters you can't really get those often especially with popular characters
Obviously it is enemies to lovers, Buffy the vampire slayer is consuming my thoughts lately so it is based around that universe. Himiko has to get her soul back before the lovers bit, but she’s nothing if not determined. Himiko wants her soul back SOLELY so that ochaco will love her back, no morality reasons and i imagine she would still have some morality issues after getting it back. Like i think she would still want to feed on humans but she just wouldn’t kill them or something and do it in secret to not anger ochaco. maybe she robs the blood bank, i haven’t thought it all the way through yet. It doesn’t really follow the Buffy plot but it is based in the universe. I want to draw more of it, i just forget lol.
also yeah i know vamps don’t have pointy ears in buffy, but i like them and i can do whatever i want forever :)
