I have to say that female list seems rather arbitrary. I'm surprised someone actually knows a character from Kagihime.

Well, I guess Ranma won his/her fair share of polls back in the day, too.

And wow, Aoshi, there's a surprise pick.

So am I. I mean come on, Aoshi from Kenshin. I really expected to see Shin Sawada from Gokusen and Jin from Samurai Champloo, Yuto Ayase from Haruka no hitmitsu and Aki from X'amd on the girls list.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

Unless... Most of the respondents who voted Natsuru were female?

Though such a scenario would also elude rational analysis.

Add: Never mind, just noticed (s)he's under the receive list. If it were a Western survey, it would make sense. Laughing

It is VERY hard not to use the "It's a Trap!" meme right now. Dammit.

Whether it's give or receive is irrelevant, both situations express desire of the real life subject only in their interaction with the fictional subject.

And since I'm sure each category of the survey is exclusive to a single sex, the only summation we can derive about the results is that men prefer Natsuru over all the other female choices.
