Looks like My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU (Oregairu) has done a trifecta for 2015’s light novel guide, Kono Light Novel Ga Sugoi! (literally means ‘This Light Novel is Amazing!’) as the light novel’s recently-released Volume 10 has unveiled that not only did the series retain the top spot from the last rankings, but the Male lead, Hachiman Hikigaya, has retained first place in the LN Guide’s Favorite Male Character Rankings while one of the two female leads, Yukino Yukinoshita, has bagged first place in the Favorite Female Rankings.
This would mean that a school romantic comedy series like Oregairu will be dominating the light novel guide whach has been deemed the most important rankings for light novels. The series won last year for Favorite Light Novel, with Hachiman also taking #1 for the male rankings, however, Yukino only took #2, as she fell to constant winner Mikoto Misaka from A Certain series. Mikoto won the female rankings in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014.
The new volume of Oregairu also unveiled that Ayane Sakura and Haruka Tomatsu will be joining the voice cast for season 2. Sakura, best known for voicing Arisa Ayase from Love Live!, will be lending her voice to Kaori Orimoto, the girl who turned down Hachiman’s confession back in middle school, forever scarring him emotionally and making him into the cynic he is today. Tomatsu, who is known for Asuna from Sword Art Online, will be voicing hyperactive high school freshman and soccer club manager Iroha Isshiki.
