The honest bit

This is the crowd's order, not my taste dressed up as maths.

Inside Summer 2026, the title with the biggest catalogue member count sits first. Scores stay beside it so you can disagree; they never push a show up the list.

The audience numbers are checked every 30 minutes. “Updated” only changes when I edit the article.

Read Sören's editorial method

Season rankings get boring when they pretend there is one correct answer. This one does two jobs: it shows what the Kaidomi crowd is gathering around, and it tells you where I would start. Those are not the same list — and that is the useful part.

My first three clicks

Where I'd start before reading the numbers

Not a verdict, and definitely not a claim that I have finished everything. These are the three premises I most want to spend an evening with right now.

This is the audience order: ten Summer 2026 titles, sorted by catalogue member count. It will move when the crowd moves.

The order will move as the audience moves. My first three might not. Either way, every row opens the same Kaidomi title hub, with anime and manga kept together where they belong.

Made by fans, for fans.
