If you're an akane fan then don't open that color spoiler.I'm definitely regretting it. Way better to read it in the chapter for sure since it's the final page

The weirdest one is Nue herself.
She's not a romantic heroine, that basically is a big debuff as romance fans care a lot about supporting "their heroine" in the race. I guess there are female characters there that are also not romantic interests, but I can imagine they had one or two fans voting a lot for them.

Nue's Exorcist popularity poll Top 10!!

Nue doesn't even get to be Top 10 in the series named after her? Disaster.

We basically got "Lead Color Pages" for Nue's Exorcist but not only isn't actually a lead but also got placed down bellow, nearly in the bottom 5 lmao! But sure, fans exaggerate when they comment about poorly treatment 😉

Anyway, these results are crazy lol Natsuki nowhere to be seen is sooo weird, legit how this happened? Also at first i thouth it whas the other school beauty at 8th but is actually Suo-senpai mother!!! :eek:

Suo in 1st and her mother in 8th, well, i guess Nue's Exorcist will end with a Oyakodon :XD

Wait what the fuck you're right. For all the hype everyone have about sideboobs, she didn't make it in here either. And Suo's mom only existed for like, one chapter, and she made it in. This only means we need more moms. Nue continues to baffle the mass populace again and again.

Comment deleted, let's try to not directly attack the fans with these kind of comments with derogatory terms? Rule #2

Everybody is just discussing normally lol

8K total votes in, considering that Kagurabachi (literal 2nd best selling manga in the magazine) got 23K with the same paper only format, is quite good by the way!

Paper only polls just have much lower totals (Akane got around 30k with both paper and online voting for example).

The only theory I could have is that Saito views the series as echi and thus doesn’t want to heavily push it.

Natsuki probably went viral due to non fans. It's still weird though.

The preliminary results is more align with what was expected than what is shown here. Ishu went from #1 to #9, Natsuki went from #6 to outta here lmao.

Someone clearly massvoted.

Since Nue didn't make the top 10 in the poll i'll just say that she's (in my dumb opinion) the most underrated girl in her series and there needs to be more fanart of her (ESPECIALLY her sensei fit 🙏)

lol it's actually a spread page for Akane, but the other is a entire black page with text in the middle but it connects with the one posted.

I just noticed now that i'm checking the chapters 😅

I don’t know how popularity polls work, but with who is number one, I think that sounds about right. I was with my friends on discord and someone posted Usazaki’s post on what she is currently reading in Jump and her thoughts on Suo is probably right. I mean Suo is attractive to boys but also something attractive to girls, and I want to be careful about how I say this because I don’t know if it will come across sexist, but one thing I remember from that post was how Suo wanted to be a bride. And Usazaki said that women are their most prettiest when they become a bride. I do think that Suo is more defined and attractive as a character and when I read Nue I want more Suo on the page because of her. I mean we all have our own preferences but for a popularity poll to work is more about how the characters resonate with the reader and since it’s a manga, the character design, their personality, and how in depth they are that people will be invested.

I mean with our polls for other series like Sakamoto Days just shows how much focus Suzuki has put his focus on certain characters and those that didn’t get shoved to the side, like Lu.

Jump series where the main character didn't get first place in the first popularity poll:

Hitman Reborn


Somehow Gokudera won the first one.

Yozakura Family


A rare win for a girl that isn't a romantic partner.

Chainsaw Man


Denji didn't get to top 4 somehow. Kobeni's car is here.

Magu-chan


Best boy won.

PPPPPP


Jump really treated this manga horribly. Not even a color page for the results...

Naruto


Somehow this happened and it wasn't Sasuke.

Kinnikuman


No numbers in the image, but Terryman won. They only did art for the top 4 and somehow Kinnikuman didn't rank there.

Beelzebub


Oga didn't win, but at least the manga's title was honored.

Hunter x Hunter


The main party.

Haikyu


Rival win, not that weird.

Witch Watch


Main duo didn't break top 3.

There must be more in the past, but it's hard to find images (Yusuke lost to Hiei in YYH at least) and I didn't add the romances because that's obvious.

Surprised no one mentioned Yuragi-sou popularity poll where Kogarashi ranked f@cking 10th place despite being one of the best main characters from a harem series

Btw, 11k votes for a series that sold over 100k copies at the time, the 8k from Nue while selling 20k+ looks pretty good if you compare.
