Pafu 2006 Best Rankings

Once again the annual rankings. I can't find the excel file to incorporate this year's info into the 1996-2005 chart I put together a while ago so I just typed it up in a list. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised at Fruits Basket's rankings since it ended last year and there's nothing like a last hurrah to push a series up. Couple of real surprises include Gintama's popularity...I guess in my small corner of fandom I never heard very much about it (though I knew of its existence). I'd never even heard of the shojo manga series Kimi ni todoke (some of it has been scanlated, see here for a cover pic and a summary--sounds somewhat interesting...). Am I just totally out of touch? :P
