August is almost over.

I think many students have spent their summer vacation, but it’s important to don’t forget about homework. Probably some people have been lazy and panicked on the last day of their summer vacation.

In this case, if your favorite character will help you with your homework, you will escape from reality. From honor students, who are good at studying to reliable seniors, and best friends, who you can ask any questions, various characters come to mind.

Here at Anime!Anime!, for the first time in two years, we conducted a reader survey entitled “Which character would you like to help you with summer vacation homework?” We received responses from 263 people during the survey period from August 14 to August 21.
The male-female ratio is about 25% for males and about 75% for females. About 70% of the age group were teens, and about 25% were in their 20s.

■ Teachers and honor students are ranked in!

1st place

1st place goes to Koro-sensei from “Assassination Classroom” with an approval rating of about 7%.

Koro-sensei is a teacher at the 3-E class of problem children from Kunugigaoka Junior High School. His devotion to teaching makes him popular, “He is a great teacher who managed to take 3-E class, which initially was one of the worst, to the top in the overall grade.”, and “Thanks to his strengths and weaknesses and giving accurate advice and lessons with humor, his students deepen their understandings.”
There were also requests unique to the mysterious creature, such as “If he will help with tentacles, you can finish your homework at once”, and “I want him to help me by splitting up.”

2nd place

2nd place goes to Saiki Kusuo from “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.” with an approval rating of about 5%.

Saiki Kusuois a second-year student at PK Gakuen High School. He is a physics with absolute power. Readers commented, “With supernatural powers, I want him to clean my room in one moment.”, and “I think he would help me if I gave him his favorite coffee jelly.” Some readers commented that even without abilities he can be the best student, “He is so smart so he would be great in explaining everything.”

3rd place

3rd place goes to Sakata Gintoki from “Gintama” with an approval rating of about 4%.

Readers commented on the abilities of Yorozuya’s leader, “I don’t know if my homework will go well, but I think he will teach me using some mysterious logic”, and “I think he wouldn’t like it but will help in case of emergency.”
Some readers mentioned that he was a teacher in the spin-off work “3rd grade Z group Ginpachi-sensei”.
