Kana or Akane?

According to Anime Corner and a poll they conducted across social media, Akane is beating out Kana in the Oshi no Ko community at this point. It's a close match between both, to be fair, but it looks like Akane has definitely won everyone over this season.

As a huge Akane fan since her very first appearance, this makes me very happy

Kana still has three times the favorites of Akane on MAL though, so I'm not sure about that.
But I agree that Akane ist best girl.

@Gator Season 1 advantage. It will take a while to overcome that (in fact I am not sure how common it is for that to happen).
You can't really go by just that

Yeah, I wasn't huge on the first couple of episodes, I think E3 or 4 and onwards is where it started to get going, and now it's great again

@Hickykissy Yes it gets way better
Just keep watching, there's not a single boring part in s2, trust.
But after s2, s3 prob would be quite a bit worse in terms of plot/ pacing.

Akane's popularity will only keep rising as the series goes on. This season will adapt some of her best moments from the manga, and the finale will leave Akane on everyone's minds till S3 airs.

@STK_Itsuka Idk, I feel Akane, Kana , and Melt shine way more in the 2.5D part.
Aqua is kinda whatever really, no real growth.

Also considering we have so many episodes left, we prob would get to see how Ruby "changes" too in the later half.

I wasn't talking about Aqua, though? I don't even like him tbh.

You're right about Ruby, though. She'll definitely get a lot of attention near the end of the season.

I think it's because this season has been focussing more on Akane with Kana playing the role of the "heel"

They're both great even though I prefer Akane too.

For what it's worth, I love Kana as well (and Ruby too!), I just like Akane more :)

Akane was compelling and attractive as soon as I saw her. Of course she easily grew on me as things developed with her. That said my favorites are still Ruby and Kana, I laugh and smile more with those two. Akane comes in at 3rd place for me.

I'ts also worth noting that here on Mal, Kana still leads by roughly 8100 favorites over Akane. That could change.. but I am doubtful.

I still like Kana more. She’s got a more feisty personality and is seemingly more mentally stable than akane. Like a ride or die is cool but I think I’d prefer someone who would tell me not to go kill someone who is in the upper echelons of the entertainment industry.

Idk, I like Aqua the most, though most of the characters have been good. I think the weakest character so far is actually Ruby

Why do they look so good together 😭

Also between kana and Akane being shipped with Aqua I’d choose Akane. In terms of favorites, still Akane. I find Kana a bit annoying, and while I can’t blame her for liking Aqua, I just don’t want to see them together. The truth is, Aqua doesn’t have much interest in romance but I feel like he still has more chemistry with Akane

Already irrelevant, as bad as Kana is she doesn't reach Akane's levels of bad, she should have unironically died in the first season.

I'm definitely more of an Akane fan. Some ppl don't like her killing for Aqua or her obsessive study-type behavior, but I think deranged is more charming lol tho I think Kana might be the underdog for this story so we'll see how things develop in the end

This season focuses more on Akane so she deserves the spotlight and good to see her increased popularity.
During S1 Kana was way more popular. She won more of these "polls & awards" As she had more spotlight with 2/4 arcs focusing on her. She is still genuinely most likeable character in the anime and deserves her popularity.
I heard the next arc will be about Ruby and she gets same amount of popularity but I doubt it
For me Kana>=Ruby>Akane.
But this entire best girl war is toxic af, with people shit talking other girl😂 like Messi Ronaldo rivalry. weird af..

I really dislike people with an unjustified ego who would keep shouting even during general conversations. Kana was a character who irritated me since her appearance and although I know she has a lot to her personality, it's just Akane's charm and her peaceful aura makes her very appealing. No doubt about the fact Akane deserves it for me but I can understand if people like Kana more than Akane. They both have their pros and cons but it's just Kana is more of an annoying brat to me.
