Following just a few points behind 2nd place, Osomatsu-san was especially popular among female fans. Its humor and writing were a total hit, and it continues to grow in popularity through merchandise, collaborative commercials, and other developments.

Re:Zero was a favorite for its gorgeous world and unique story. It follows protagonist Subaru, a hiki who’s suddenly transported into another world and where he has the ability to “return to a save point” by dying.
The characters were as much of a hit as the story, and Rem was a particular favorite~
Finally, in 1st place with 317 votes is none other than JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Diamond wa Kudakenai!
