| This rating only includes titles that have at least 4 votes. The bayesian estimate is a statistical technique used to reduce the noise due to low sample counts. In effect, the less a title has votes, the more it is pulled towards the mean (7.8195). In other words, these are the titles that many people agree are great. bayesian rating = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C where: R = average for the manga v = number of votes for the manga m = minimum votes required to be listed (currently 4) C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 7.8195) | |||

| Titles with less than 4 votes are removed from the listing but are still counted in the ranking. This explains why there are gaps in the "#" column. The rating is an average of the scores given by voters, weighted to give less importance to users who tend to only rate very high or very low. | |||

| The most popular titles are determined with a simple summation of all votes. Titles with many votes will tend to be at the top, but this is modified a little by the ratings. In other words, the popularity is the straight average score of a title (the value in the rating column) multiplied by the number of votes. | |||

Zig·Zag GN 1-2
Zig·Zag is as fluffy as a spray of baby's breath and as lightweight as a daisy petal. It is hard, in short, to take seriously.

Just as its author intended, this novel is easy to read, light in tone, and rich in adventure. Younger readers not cowed by discussions of prescience and psychokinesis should be diverted, if not enthralled.
