Shocked

Wow, Prince of Tennis is still really popular, apparently. No one seems to talk about it anymore.

Maybe not in the America, but it's huge in Japan. Americans don't really like sports series much.

With so many amount of chocolate, I don't think all JUMP crews can finish them all. Were they usually thrown away once the vote counting done? Not to mention, chocolate bars usually has long shelf life, but what if the fans sent chocolate cake with cream? That's gonna get spoiled in few days.

Although I understand their passion for their characters, now that I've seen so many chocolates (possibly) wasted, I hope they return to the traditional voting system.

This is a good thing since we're about to enter a chocolate shortage, so it's better that we don't waste a bunch on fictional characters.

For crying out loud, why don't they have them send in gift cards that can be given to the poor or homeless, or set up a donation site that lets them donate to a charity in their favorite character's name. All the money and energy wasted on this is so annoying when it could easily be shifted in a different direction.

How many middle class or upper middle class people do you know would willingly donate money to such a cause.
