this is unexpected because in all the character polls from all the shonen jump manga ive read, the main character or their rival/best friend absolutely never fail to take the #1 spot

Not always. Just off the top of my head, a villain once won by an order of magnitute over the mc who came second. Link because... jeez.

#1 is that one kind of obscure character you always forget about and then when you see them you're surprised you forgot about them.

You know the one

I'm not a good person

I think there's also an element of court Annie not being the "real" Annie here. Forest Annie is the one we've followed since the beginning of the series in uninterrupted fashion, so I think that affects reader perceptions as well.

I really don't know who else could be #1 other than 1. Renard, who would then have more fans than I thought or 2. Boxbot, as the culmination of a long-standing fandom joke.

Tony is too controversial for me to believe he got #1, but I can't think of any other character whose vote count we haven't already seen who I could imagine is there.

Boxbot would be the best outcome but it's probably Reynard. He is one of the first characters in the series, after all.

I don't know about "real" but yeah Forest Annie is "our" Annie. We stuck with her perspective while she talked to Loup, so the audience identifies with her more when faced with a choice. If the perspective had stuck with Court Annie, I think the results would have been flipped.

Legitimately did not think Renard was that popular.

It's great though. Give us another Renard chapter, Tom, it's been ages.

I'm surprised Renard and Kat weren't flipped, since she's pretty close to a second protagonist and he's more of a secondary character, but if this means we get more Renard I'm not complaining.
