In the data Chiaki is 5th in total vote and 7th in web vote and yet she’s 1st with 29k pts? In chpt 300 it says one can vote for their top 3 characters. The only explanation I can come up is that the “total” vote is counts the people that votes for a given character and not how many votes they give the character, and so those that voted for Chiaki must have tended to use all/most of their 3 votes on her, thus most votes for her counted for 2 or 3 points.
If true, this gives an insight into which character has more casual vs. hardcore fans. Must be a great feedback for the author. Or inversely the author/editor already knew of this trend and set the voting rules accordingly. Not sure on this, but interesting enough to ponder, I guess.
