From November 25 to 26, the Japanese portal site goo asked its users which 1990s shōjo manga they think should receive a live-action adaptation. Ai Yazawa's Gokinjo Monogatari and Tenshi Nanka ja Nai and Wataru Yoshizumi's Marmalade Boy topped the list of 46 manga series. The scores for the results are weighted relative to the top vote-getter.
Among 1,074 respondents, the top 20 choices are as follows:

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gokinjo Monogatari | 100 |  |
| 2 | Tenshi Nanka ja Nai | 88.7 |  |
| 3 | Marmalade Boy | 85.8 |  |
| 4 | Baby & Me | 75.5 |  |
| 5 | Fruits Basket | 56.6 |  |
| 6 | Peach Girl | 48.1 | |
| 7 | Kodocha - Sana's Stage | 41.5 |  |

| 20 | Medaka no Gakkō | 17.0 |
Last September, goo posted the results for a poll that asked users which live-action adaptations of manga or anime titles they liked, and Death Note topped the list. The market research firm Oricon also conducted a survey in 2011 to determine which manga respondents thought received successful live-action adaptations. Nodame Cantabile, Hana Yori Dango, and Jin were the top three choices. The Japanese portal site Cobs Online conducted a similar poll, asking users which manga should not be made into live-action films. One Piece received a majority of votes in that poll.
