I say fantasy, I guess.
People want to escape their mundane lives and be placed in something fantastical.
Just my opinion.

Manga. Mostly shounen.
Interesting.
as the authors get stressed trying to create a plot
nah but I get the escapism element and understand it.

Most kids/adults I’ve met aren’t reading. Is that an option that would go under “other”?

Not so, due to manga, comics, and webtoons.

English teacher here Very few of my many students read. I’m not saying no one reads these days. I’m merely saying that in my experience, majority of people I have met aren’t reading

As for this one, I’d guess the most popular genre is romance. Because apparently people are into that even if it is extremely cliche and cringey

Romance will ALWAYS be more popular to Fantasy.
Hell, even romantasy is a popular thing.
People want to find love like a romance book in real life, well some people do. Most people would rather have an idealistic romance than something real.
At least that is how I see it.

There are a lot more English speakers who take Anime and Manga seriously these days. So the audience has grown.
