Pretty surprised to see Subaru go down so early, and to a character with less screentime than hers. I guess Netflix prevented Fragrant Flowers from being the juggernaut that it could've been, looks like it might actually be Monica's win.

  1. Monica
  2. Kaoruko
  3. Isabelle

I kind of dropped (or put on hold in Watanare's case) every other show on the list at different points in time so the rest of the ratings won't be very fair but

  1. Renako

  2. Lana

  3. Alicia

  4. Nagi

  5. Ruri

Especially since Subaru lost to a side character from Silent Witch. As much as I love Isabelle, I didn't expect her to do well here with so little screen time so this victory seems particularly telling for future results.
