Prince of Tennis Chocolate Count Finally Complete

Boxes of chocolates overtook manga creator Takeshi Konomi's office last month after Jump Square magazine reinstated the annual Prince of Tennis character popularity contest. The sheer number of confections was daunting, but eight staff members completed the tallies on Saturday morning.
