Sajou ranks higher than Kusakabe when I like Kusakabe better
I can't quantify my fondness for these two separately because I like Sajou for moe reasons while Kusakabe freakin' wooed me. He came out of nowhere and blew my mind. But moe is a powerful thing. So, um, yeah...my theory is that Kusakabe can't climb higher on the seme polls because he's not domineering or doting, while Sajou is all uke. A perfect uke. (Did I mention he's a serious, awkward, glasses-wearing beauty? I'll admit, I didn't notice the beauty part until it was pointed out to me.)
I thought the point of the Aitsu guy was that he was visually awkward? I'm not sure why that should shoot him to #1, but he's different from the beauties and cuties and the voters just want to huggle him? Sort of like Nakamura Asumiko's moe for bad dressers? (Wow. She would love me.)
Re: Himi - based on the date of the poll, I assume this is second!Himi, and I can understand why his tragic story and blank-slate devotion to his seme would appeal to voters. (Unfortunately, since picture-reading volume 9, I've had problems with Genma and Himi's story. *sniffle* Separate issue: why didn't Waki taunt Genma before resurrecting Himi? Inconsistency! Answer: nobody taunts Genma?)
