Only girls and women, this time.
It would be nice to know where AnimeBees draw the line between the two categories.
Thank you Pepe. Your entry is just like what I'm after. Commenting your own ranking or this whole thing is welcome but not demanded.
Being that I have seen very little of the anime, my ranking of the anime-only characters can be illogical. But even though I like Ema better than Mei, I think Ema's role in the manga is less important than Mei's is in the anime. (I just watched the episode featuring Mei as a French dub yesterday, understanding less than half of the lines.
