The recently concluded anime convention, AnimeJapan 2019, wasn't just a celebration of all things anime that are already out. The convention also gave fans the opportunity to vote on which anime adaptations they wanted to see most. The results of the vote were announced at AnimeJapan 2019 in Tokyo, and over 190,000 fans reportedly voted to establish the 10 manga below that they most want to see adapted into an anime.

The 10 manga below were decided after nominations were first compiled from the convention's website into a potential list, and then those nominations were voted on. The exact details for eligibility were simple: the manga had to be published in 2018, and it had to not already have had an anime adaptation.
