How the points work—and why the top spot is decisive
The standings are built around user thumbs, separating reactions into three tiers: green thumbs net the most value (3 points each), neutral reactions add a smaller amount (1 point each), and red thumbs subtract from the total (-1 point each). Because the scoring favors positive reactions heavily, titles with very high “green” totals can climb even if they receive some neutral or negative feedback.
That math is reflected in the gap between the top three: the leader, Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, finishes with 201 points, followed by Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation III at 191. Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky rounds out the podium with 158, showing a clear drop-off after the second-place entry.
