So, this is from the results of last month's Superpoll of the Month, in which readers were asked:

If your life was an anime series, what series it would be?

With 402 votes, Naruto came out on top with 104 votes, followed closely by Bleach with 90 votes, and curiously enough, Blue Exorcist has 77 votes, despite being a new series, while the other two have been running for a decade.

Well, we've all seen Naruto's struggles, solitude and alienation and his humanity, his failures, his ticks are all what make us care for him deeply and root for him to be the village's hero.

I initially thought that One Piece would win hands down due to its popularity, but it is quite there with Full Metal Alchemist, Fairy Tail, and Soul Eater.

Kuroshitsuji and Gintama came in the same place. And Death Note deserves a special mention with 50 votes, (who doesn't identify with either L-kun or Kira-sama?)

It's still interesting to note that a classic series like Dragon Ball didn't garner more votes, with even D.Grayman getting 8 more votes.

I didn't receive any further explanation through my twitter account over what series did I miss on the list and why. You can follow me at @myanimemangafix .

Viz Media announced in the December edition of the U.S Shonen Jump magazine that there will be an online supplement to the print publication, that will give you access to series such as Toriko, Bakuman, Nura, and Rise of the Yokai Clan. Subscribed users will have exclusive access through shonenjump.com.

"Legal" scanlations, anyone????

The publisher also announced that it will start selling manga through the iPad download application. Users can install the app itself for free, and volumes of six manga titles in the initial launch lineup cost US$4.99 each.

The titles that are available since this week are Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, the first volume of Death Note, Dragon Ball, and the first volume of Bakuman. More volumes of Bakuman, Ouran High School Host Club, D.Gray-man, Rurouni Kenshin, and Vampire Knight are planned to be added in the near future.

There's still no support for iPhone or iPod touch devices, but Alvin Lu, senior VP and General Manager, said that there was more to come.
