That's where I wonder. Anime Misaki feels like she appeals to the "I want a manic pixie dream girl to appear and fix me" crowd. I like the air of mystery around her in the anime and actually I binge watched it just because I'm a sucker of mysteries and wanted to know about Misaki's backstory.
But I find manga Misaki more realistic. Anime Misaki no matter how antisocial would have crowds of people wanting to befriend her, whereas I can more realistically believe normalfags would be put off by Misaki's behavior in the manga. Manga Misaki does seem to be appealing to either "I can fix her" guys or makes them want to stay as far away from her as possible. So she's far more divisive.
I think it depends, if you want fantasies of an angel coming to help you and you help her in turn, anime Misaki it is. If you want a realistic story about a girl who is not right in the head trying to control a loser even worse than her, then manga Misaki is the way to go.
As I commented in another previous post, the best version to me would be manga Misaki (so it makes sense why she hangs out with the likes of Satou and Yamazaki) with anime Misaki's backstory which would make her spiteful and manipulative personality make sense.
