So these mangas are from that sites top twenty mangas listing (without any order). I also left out few series that I've already made posts here as I didn't want to make double postings. And couple exceptions to my rule: Two mangas on today's lists aren't from that top twenty list but I choose them as they are closely related those twen mangas as their sequels or adaptations.
