Kaguya-sama: Love Is War just brought its latest run to an end, and it would put things lightly to say the series was a success. After all, the rom-com continues to draw in new fans by the days, and the anime didn’t let up a single bit with its latest comeback. And now, it seems Kaguya-sama just managed to steal a title away from Fullmetal Alchemist that’s gone unchallenged for years.
The update comes from the team at My Anime List, one of the top sites stateside to track anime rankings and reviews. It is there fans can vote for the industry’s best series, and for years now, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has reigned at the top spot with a 9.14 ranking. But now, Kaguya-sama has taken the top spot.

As you can see above, the rom-com is now ranked in first place with a score of 9.17. It seems like the show has pulled in a number of fans since its latest premiere, and the franchise has more than half a million followers on MAL. However, netizens suspect Fullmetal Alchemist will reclaim the top spot before long. After all, the show’s fandom is notoriously protective of its first-place ranking, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has nearly three million followers on MAL.
