At number 10 is 'King Grey reborn as Arthur Leywin' - The story is about the son of two former adventurers living on a continent full of magic. At first, Arthur doesn’t understand why he can be reincarnated, but it turns out the reason is much bigger than he imagined — a great destiny that begins to unfold after a dragon sacrifices its life to protect him.

Rank 9 is 'Zenshuu.' - The story is about Natsuko Hirose, a super talented director whose anime debut was a huge success and earned her many awards. But the next project is a bit tricky — the theme is romance, while Natsuko herself has never dated at all!

Rank 8 is 'Possibly The Greatest Alchemist Of All Time' - The story is about an office worker who suddenly gets thrown into another world by accident! Without a way back to Earth and without a clear purpose in life, she is given a 'new life package': a young body, magical powers, and a chance to start from scratch.

Rank 7 is 'Kakuriyo: Bed And Breakfast For Spirits Season 2' - The story is about Aoi Tsubaki, who since childhood has had a unique ability — she can see 'ayakashi', human-eating spirit creatures! To avoid being eaten (and to keep her family safe as well), Aoi uses her trusty weapon: super delicious cooking.

Ranked 6th is 'Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!' - The story is about Dennosuke Uchimura, an ordinary office worker who dreams of getting a promotion. But instead of struggling in the 'jungle' of the working world, he receives an unusual job offer — to join the Demon King's army in another world!

Ranked 5th is 'Welcome To Japan, Ms. Elf!' - The story is about Kazuhiro Kitase, who has had a unique ability since childhood: he can enter another world through his dreams! No matter how dangerous his adventures there are, everything is just fine — he just wakes up, and poof! back to the real world. But one day, everything changes when he wakes up bringing home a beautiful elf named Mariabelle!

Ranked 4th is 'From Bureaucrat To Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated!' - The story is about Kenzaburou Tondabayashi, a 52-year-old bureaucrat who suddenly gets thrown into an otome game world! Fortunately, he is somewhat familiar with that world — because his daughter is a huge fan of this game. The problem is, Kenzaburou is reincarnated as… Grace Auvergne, the villainess, or the main evil character!

In the 3rd position is 'The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4' - the story is about Naofumi Iwatani who is suddenly summoned to the world of Melromarc and is told that he is the Shield Hero — one of the four legendary heroes destined to protect the world from a threat called Waves.

In 2nd place is the title 'Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra' - The story is about Takuto Ira who dies from illness. But it turns out, that's not the end of his story!

And the winner is 'The Water Magician' - The story is about Ryo who suddenly gets lost in a world called Phi, he only has one simple hope; to live peacefully and happily while enjoying his new power; to control water!
