As everyone knows, today is Valentine’s day, also known as V-day, Single Awareness Day, Saint Valentine’s Day, and Saturday. To celebrate the occasion, Japanese online store, Otomate, has recently asked their customers on which anime characters do they want to receive chocolates from or give chocolates to.
The Survey had a total of 4,527 respondents, 88.3% of whom were women while only 16.2% were men. The results are divided into four categories, the top 20 Male Characters women want to give chocolates to on Valentine’s day, the top 20 Anime Characters women want to receive chocolates from, the top 20 Anime characters men want to receive chocolates from, and the top 20 Anime characters men want to give chocolates to. The results of the surveys for women can be found here on page 1 as well as page 2, and as for the male respondent results, kindly turn to page 3 and 4.
