Fans choose the manga character they would want to give chocolates to on Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s
Day is big in Japan and it is a day where girls give the ones they like
as well as their closest friends chocolates. Japanese digital book retail site eBookJapan recently conducted a poll
just in time for the chocolate day, as known as Valentine's Day! Asked its customers
who do they want to give chocolates to this Vanlentine’s Day.
Here’s what the ladies had to say:
5) Tony Chopper – One Piece
4) Edward Elric – Full Metal Alchemist
3) Jesus – Saint Onii-san
2) Shouta Kazehaya – Kimi ni Todoki
1) Gintoki Sakata – Gintama
Looks
like guys who can make you roll on the floor laughing are really
popular as the 4th wall-breaking samurai with a perm takes the top spot
in e-book Japan’s poll. He beats out the popular Shouta Kazehaya, from
the popular shoujo anime Kimi ni Todoke whose kindness and warm smile
can make girls swoon.
While Valentine’s Day may be geared
towards girls in Japan, e-book Japan also asked guys which character do
they want to receive chocolates from. After all, it’s the guys who get
the chocolates and they usually want to receive one from a certain
someone. In the results of a this poll question, they picked
many characters that seasoned veterans in the scene could probably
appreciate.
Here are their top 5:
5) Amir Halgal – Otoyomegatari
4) Lum – Urusei Yatsura
3) Minami Asukara – Touch
2) Nami- One Piece
1) Kyouko Otonashi -Maison Ikkoku
Looks
like legendary manga artist Rumiko Takahashi rules Valentine’s Day when
it comes to girls as Kyouko Otonashi takes the #1 spot while the
lovable alien invader in a tiger stripe bikini takes the #4 spot. Kyouko
is often considered the perfect wife by many anime fans so this may be
the reason she has edged out One Piece’s Nami and Minami Asukara from
the classic baseball anime Touch.
