Polls: Hakuoki Couples

                                                        We have another tie for your favorite couple of the otome turned anime "Hakuouki Shinsengumi". It's Chizuri and Hijikata and Chizuri and Saito. Wow I didn't know that Saito's quietness will prove a deadly competition against Hijikata! I thought Hijikata will lead the votes. It's good that the the heroine chose a character and the story didn't end in a open question. But darn that was really an ending with no room for other characters to pursue Chizuri. Here's the scores. Thanks for the 398 people who voted! Saito    137 (34%) Hijikita 136 (34%) Okita 74 (18%) Heisuke 26 (6%) Harada 13 (3%) Keisuke 10 (2%) Shinpachi 2 (0%)
