North Korea’s favorite appears to be Citrus. This is a surprising twist to be honest but a welcomed one.

Overall, My Hero Academia appears to have really taken the world by storm this year and I’m feeling more confident then ever with my prediction that it could be the next title of the Big 3. Meanwhile, Naruto (Boruto) appears to still dominate in the Shonen world, especially in Africa and Asia. I was surprised to not see One Piece more prominently featured.
