Mayu and Akirapyon are the best girls there, like no contest.

All these girls are pretty damn ugly if you ask me.

You're way too rude, sir... At least say that they're not a good fit for your radar...
Well, I am one to talk. I also don't think that most of them are cute, though there's one or two exemptions...

Whatever you think of them, you're rating schoolgirls.

I kinda find it slightly creepy that such a contest even exists.

Hasumin easily



Most are ugly, have no clue how to wear makeup, look either 12 or 22 haha, and bags under their eyes.

Right, but this is Japanese, and we all should be well aware of Japan's social issues since they are blatantly advertised through anime. We are on an anime-themed website, after all. So please think back to all the anime that fetishizes schoolgirls, it shouldn't be very hard since they tend to be some of the most popular anime around. And then look in this contest in that light.

If you need help, please remember Prison School, Kill la Kill, Nozomi from Love Live...

Sorry, I don't mean to try and lecture anyone, but you can't just dismiss this as nothing. It's pretty damn skeevy.

What's with all those fluffy-cutesy nicknames? It's so... like a manga title, "So Cute It Hurts!"

Yes, and those are equally creepy, if not moreso. Shockingly, it's possible to pass judgement on more than one concept simultaneously.

I see Japan wanted to give this to me as a present. Who am I to decline it?

Congrats to the winners.

I personally find this f*cking creepy and disgusting, but since we're on an ~anime website~, I'll say that i'd go with Hasumin and Chūgoku.

Only cute one is Momo. Not a fan of any of this, really.

Dubious ethical questions aside, I think Kyushu's Mayu is my favourite.

I feel okay saying that because I teach children part-time and even there I have favourites because some of them are pretty adorable.
