Trivia

 * Mengo Yokoyari, mangaka of Oshi no Ko and Scum's Wish, was actually voted for twice in the first popularity poll. Shihei Lin, lead editor at Shueisha, thought it would be improper to put her name aside since people did cast votes for the mangaka, and so she was included.
 * She herself is a fan of Chainsaw Man, calling the series nerve-wrackingly good, and has made artwork for the series as well.
