Subject: PAFU '91 MANGA POLLS RESULT (concise)
Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Family Comics #445 is highly informative. It not only includes information
about Miyazaki's Porco Rosso (posted to RAA), it also includes the Poll
result (complete) by Pazu, one of the two biggest Manga Critic Magazine
(the other is COMIC BOX).

From the result, Pafu seems to be heavily inclined towards Shojo manga.
It might indicate that the magazine has a high female readership, or simply
that Shojo manga generally has a higher quality ^_^

The following would be a brief scan of the list. I would like to post the
complete list, but there are many kanji pronounciations to look up...

OK here we go:
