That's Rindou though?

E: Guessing Souma took first in the poll again.

souma is probably one of the best shonen main characters in a long time.

I like that he gets along well or has chemistry with virtually every character he interacts with and none of it seems forced. Him bonding with Nao over their love of disgusting food was one of the best quick interactions in the series. He's got a good personality and he's fun, about the only criticism I'd levy against him is that he doesn't have many visible character flaws or moments of weakness. I think that'll change at some point though.

Spoilers are out and I think the results of the popularity poll just dropped.

1. Erina 3350
2. Hisako 3081
3. Alice 3042
4. Soma 2795
5. Megumi 1892
6. Shinomiya 1669
7. Rindou 1353
8. Takumi 1207
9. Mito 743
10. Hayama 737


I'm...actually kind of stunned, really.

Can't believe Takumi lost to Rindou.

Not that I don't agree with the ranking, but shocked nonetheless.

EDIT: WAIT WHAT THE gently caress HISAKO AT 2?

Y-san from Chiba Prefecture just found a new waifu maybe?

Wasn't Hisako's rank usually lower? I don't remember.

Look, if you don't like Erina after seeing her super hype to finally play a card game with more than two people, I don't know what to say.

i like her fine now, but for most of the manga she was just plain awful. also, she was barely around and very rarely interacted with souma despite supposedly being the heroine.

food nazi is terrible, but i'm not sure that anything less drastic would have worked to get erina involved with the story.

I know who Hisako was. I still can't believe she is the second most popular character. Like how is that even remotely a thing. Everyone on that list is more entertaining then her.

"She's cute" is like 60% of it. Stagiere and actually being a friend with Souma without being in love with him probably make up the other 40%.

Also Hayama is like the exact opposite of entertaining after that match, dude singlehandedly brought down an entire arc for like 8 chapters.

Agreed with the first three sentences but Hayama is also on the list so I cannot agree with that last sentence.

I just re-read the whole manga (insomnia gives me time for stupid stuff like that) and both Erina and Hisako are good characters. They also bounce off Soma in funny ways and make silly faces, which is good.

All characters are good, actually, except Hayama the boring and the Elite 10/Central members with no personalities.

Legit though the only person Erina was tsundere towards was Alice.

She flat out didn't like Souma and wanted him to fail everything all the way up until Kuga. The term for that is rear end in a top hat.

"Hey let me cook something first before you fail me out with the rest of the people that just left" and "hey that was actually better than you thought right" aren't really the most vile forms of provocation.

i know that's bait, but occasionally, yeah. sometimes tsunderes are very physically abusive. it is generally supposed to be a joke, though i don't think it is executed particularly well most of the time.

fictional characters with fictional character traits can be dicks sometimes.

It's because she's adorkable like Erina is. That isn't to say every single character in this series isn't kind of a dork.
