In overall terms from quality, popularity, success, impact.
For my money, Ranma 1/2 is the definitive top shelf classic. Nothing else even comes close. Yeah, Dragon Ball made more money and had more cross cultural penetration, but so does hentai..

Haven't read nearly enough manga series to be qualified to judge which is the best of them all, but Pandora Hearts comes to mind for being excellent around the board.
Dragon Ball wasn't really even very good, let alone the GOAT.

Not just because of the very slow release times, but also because not much progress is being made on the main plot, and the tone's kind of shifted from grim-dark fantasy to more conventional fantasy stuffs..
The nightmare fuel is still there, but Guts is a totally different character now, and there's mer-girls, chibi-witch's and faeries muddying the overall tone..

Yeah, I've actually bashed one of the recent chapters for this (the one with all the giant penis monsters). The slow release is pretty inexcusable in an era where someone can put out 900 chapters in under 20 years. Berserk has been going on since the 90s, so wtf Miura?
