Thread: Valentine Choco Acquisition Ranking

*Quoted from http://www.derpinsel.com/tennis/misc_choco.html

In Japan, Valentines Day is a day when girls give chocolates to the boys (and not the other way around). Like the character popularity poll, Konomi-sensei releases an annual ranking to determine which characters get the most number of chocolates.

*I still searching for the year 2006

Its surprising Fuji lost popularity after a while. He's sorta the idol of the series, though Atobe comes close as a diva.

Yeah, I can't believe Tezuka and Fuji lost their popularity.

Actually I wanted to edit the first post, but I can't find any 'edit' button. Well, I just want you guys to guess who might be the most popular for the year 2006. Well, I'll vote for... Umm... still Tezuka, I guess.

I vote Fuji (again). The Fuji-Shiraishi match would have revived his popularity, I'm sure.

Hrm, Fuji is number 1 in 2001 and 2002 and dropped to number 3 in 2004 and number 4 in 2005. Whereas Tezuka is 2nd in 2001, 5th in 2002, 6th in 2004 and 8th in 2005. Looks like Fuji is still more favourable to win again. Still, I hope Tezuka can make a big comeback.

Actually, weren't 2006 and 2007 already released in some of the older chaps? I thought I saw them earlier.

Hrm? Really? I think I'll re-read the manga again.
