12 December 2006: Muteki Kanban Musume
So, barring any last-minute upsets, I fully expect Muteki Kanban Musume's Kannazuki Megumi to win "Hottest Character, 2006" in all the year-end polls. Kannazuki Megumi and all her desu was, that is.
I also fully expect Kannazuki Megumi to carry the "Ass Shot of the Year 2006, Singing Do Wah Diddy Edition" sub-category.
