"Jantama Kan!!" is an anime based on the online mahjong game "Jan Soul" and is scheduled to air in April this year. It is expected to be more powerful than the previous work "Jantama PONG☆", and has been a hot topic. Various characters appear in this work, but who is the most popular? This time, I would like to announce the ranking of popular characters, including my own thoughts! Please read it while guessing who will be ranked.
First: Introduction to the work
The anime of the mahjong game "Jan Soul", where you can play online against various players from all over the country with many cute characters, has come again. In the previous work, there were many stories that were not related to mahjong, but this time, the mahjong players start a streaming business, go on a trip with other guys, and somehow get caught up in a fight between delinquents, so it seems that there will be more crazy developments than in the previous work. The exploits of various characters, including the main characters such as Ichihime and Kaguyahime, are attracting attention this time as well.
5th place: Yagi Yui
Ranked 5th is Yagi Yui. She has a mysterious atmosphere, and in the game she calls the player "senpai". He wears a school uniform-like outfit, but there are rumors that it is not actually a school uniform, since he is wearing a long coat on top. His collar, bracelets, and bow tie have a mahjong motif. He is famous for his unusual taste, and he likes celery mayonnaise potato chips and hot pepper chocolate, which he sometimes recommends to the player.
4th place: Carvy
Ranked 4th is Carvy. He is a fortune teller who dresses very seductively, and generally speaks in a way that does not show his emotions. However, when he gets excited, he sometimes speaks loudly. Although she hates efforts that change fate, she does not hate the effort itself, but believes that there is no point in resisting something that cannot be resisted.
3rd place: Princess Kaguya
Ranked third is Princess Kaguya. She calls herself "God's Princess Kaguya," but we don't know the truth. Although she looks cute, her personality of liking lies and pranks makes people around her question whether she can be trusted as a god. Since coming to Tamashii Tenjin Shrine, she has been in a relationship of turf war with Ichihime. She hates Ichihime and calls her a little girl. The model for this is Princess Kaguya from "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter," the oldest story in Japan.
Second place: Ichihime
Ranked second is Ichihime. Her age is unknown, but she is said to have been alive since before the modern era, and she has cat ears. She is one of the characters that can be used from the beginning of the game, and she is also in charge of the tutorial, so many players may have a strong impression of her. She often speaks in the image of a cat, and ends her sentences with "nya." Other examples include "nyanta" instead of "chanta" and "nyangan" instead of "mankan."
1st Place: Fukuhime
Ranked in at the honorable 1st place is Fukuhime. She is the owner of the mahjong dojo "Fukuroku Zensokan". She looks to be in her teens, but a regular customer says that "she has looked the way she does since her great-grandfather's generation." In other words, she must be at least in her teens, but it is taboo to ask her how old she is. It is also taboo to beat the dojo owner. She uses "uchi" as her first-person pronoun and "ansan" as her second-person pronoun, and she speaks in a way that is reminiscent of the Kansai dialect.
Popular Character Ranking Summary
Did your favorite character make the list? I think that people who play the game, watch the anime, and those who are into both have different favorite characters. In "Jantama Kan!!", there are more characters than in the previous work, so the rankings may change during the broadcast period. I can't wait for the new work to air! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
