As the one that had to count most of the write ins I promise you this accurate based on those. We only had 80 individual posts though and most of them for chugakusei and stepmother and daughter's blues.

Next year we need to drum up the write in poll to get a better slice to represtent MDL better. This was stilla far cry from last year...that was pitiful

For me the clear winners were Dele, Black pean and Sachiiro no One Room. Two of them tell an amazing tale and the other Nino just took the show over and made it his.
