Well, as a woman, I read SPY x FAMILY, Chainsaw Man, Kimetsu no Yaiba and Dr. Stone.
But based on male and female ranking lists, it looks like male and female readers are divided.

I think the female list is limited to Shojo/Josei manga

Interesting to see Shonen Jump+ nab the #1 manga magazine spot in place of Weekly Shonen Jump, but it does make sense. It has a wild amount of series from the past in full, has its own line of unique ongoing series (like Spy x Family), & is even now the home of revived vintage series, like the new run of Kinnikuman that's been going on since 2011 or the occasional run of Otoko Zaka.

I'd imagine that Jump+ also isn't quite as cutthroat as the physical magazine is, when it comes to prematurely ending a new series, but that's just speculation.

It's manga for male/female readers, ie shounen/shoujo. This doesn't necessarily tell us what the intended demographic prefers so much as which series the magazine staff thought were best within their assigned genre.

Not surprised with the top spot for the male demographic. The serialization has been kinda slow, but SPY x FAMILY is really, really, REALLY good.

I'm really interested to learn more about the other titles on this list.

I'm interested in knowing what makes Sayonara Miniskirt so special. The description I read was very vague, and I didn't see any reviews. I'll have to check it out.

Congrats to Harada for making the womens list here and then being #3 in the BL list. (Which wasn't posted by ANN unfortunately)
