Summers always feel better suited for female-dominated anime titles and this year wasn’t an exception. When the time came to pick the favorite characters of the season, the male category had over 10,000 fewer voters. Still, 20,206 is an impressive number of its own, so let’s take a look at who was voted as the most loved!
Kazuhiko Nukumizu’s charm wasn’t lost on Anime Corner audiences and it comes as no surprise that he won first place. Masachika Kuze came in second while Aqua Hoshino secured third place with an action-packed Oshi no Ko Season 2. Days With My Stepsister protagonist, Yuta Asamura, ranked fourth and Will Serfort from Wistoria: Wand and Sword completed the top five.
