Manga Frequency Lists and Stats
My preferred method of learning new vocabulary words is to focus on the highest frequency words in the manga I’m reading.
This page includes frequency lists for various manga series.
Methodology
The frequency lists include only nouns, adjectives, and verbs.
I don’t know what I’d like to have for stats, so for now I’m putting stats similar to what JPDB uses.
Frequency lists
Series I am currently reading will have new volumes added over time. Series which I am not reading, including those I have stopped reading, will not have new volumes added over time. Unofficial English translations for names are written in italics. Items listed as Waiting means I’m actively reading it as new volumes come out, but often I’m waiting for a new volume.
“Tracking?” refers to whether there are vocabulary tracking pages for the series.
