Levi takes first place, that's no surprise. Now I wonder what folks see in Levi. I think I like him because she's so damn scary.

I'm a bit confused on the whole Levi thing also. Like he is one of the more interesting characters in Attack on Titan. But not a type I can imagine someone have a crush on at all.

I clicked on the site and it shows Arata as No. 1 and Levi as No. 2 now. They're both No. 1 for me. Arata is a megane hottie and Levi is a badass hottie.

From January 17 to February 14, voters were given a list of the top 30 manga heartthrobs and had to pick their favorite out of all of them.


More honest than most polls but it doesn't explain where that thirty came from.

Space Brothers went from 5th to 18th in a single day... really says a lot about the number of people who voted since then. Wait, it started January 17?

I'd love to see the hard numbers.

That page doesn't display them in ranking order, it just lists them as nominee 1-whatever. It's just a random order that the website chose to list them for when people want to vote. i.e. if you vote for 6 you vote for Ginko.

Time for a repost from the Valentine's thread.

The Chihayafuru author did this to celebrate the launch of the poll, with Arata and Levi going head to head at karuta

I am rather surprised Ginko managed number 4, but apparently he's popular with the ladies?

Ah, so only Arata was able to be chosen from? I didn't think Taichi was all that unpopular with the female Chihayafuru fans.

Interesting choices. ...Oh! From the original page's address, it looks like this poll was a promotion for Kodansha manga, which might explain why some popular characters are missing and why other more obscure ones are on the list. In regards to the latter, I need to go reread A Perfect Day For Love Letters now and figure out which guy they chose to represent the anthology. (it still seems weird that that book was on the list instead of something more recent by the author.)

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I thought maybe people still can vote so the ranking changed. I know Levi is popular but I'm surprised Arata ranks second to Levi. It's good to know Arata is that popular with the ladies over there.

So am I the only one surprised to see Ginko from Mushishi make the top 10 list (not that it's at all a bad thing)?
