Yay for Rumiko Takahashi! Too bad Ranma Saotome isn’t in either list haha. I’m a little surprised Fujiko Mine nor any of the Sailor Moon characters made the list. Who would you guys choose? I’d give my vote to Daikichi Kawachi (Bunny Drop).

Some really hardcore fans actually send chocolate to the publishers and authors. 8,000 boxes of Fujiya LOOK Chocolate were sent to the publishing company of The Prince of Tennis for Shusuke Fuji on 2/4. There must have been many more boxes since then!

I got a phone call earlier from the editorial department about 8,000 Fujiya LOOK Chocolate being delivered. Thank you, but please don’t overexert yourselves. I have a feeling this year will be crazy.”
