As always , it was amazing to go through this manga again, and honestly panel counting gave me an even deeper appreciation, I caught a lot of little gags/smaller moments in the background that I definitely missed on previous reads.

Things I found really interesting were, how much Schierke shot up the rankings as soon as she was introduced, that she, Farnese, and even Isidro got more panels than Griffith!

I hope y'all find this interesting, and if this kinda thing is for you, I've also done this for Yugioh, Rurouni Kenshin, Evangelion, Yotsuba, and Kaguya-sama

(and technically it's a little lie that I counted *all* the panels, I only did it to the end of Volume 42, so I know im missing 3 chapters, but once those get released in a volume, I will be updating! See y'all in several years when that drops ahaha)

So I spent the past couple weeks doing a reread of Yotsuba, and its still absolutely peak, greatest manga of all time. And I counted how many times every character showed up, here's the ranking:

1. Yotsuba - 11434
2. Yosuke - 4539
3. Fuuka - 1733
4. Ena - 1715
5. Jumbo - 1168
6. Miura - 1033
7. Yanda - 919
8. Asagi - 750
9. Juralumin - 674
10. Mom - 345
11. Tiger - 297
12. Miss Stake - 281
13. Grandma - 277
14. Danbo - 164
15. Koharuko - 148
16. Osaka - 86

Was fascinating to me just how many panels Yober herself got! The first one of these I ever did was for Yugioh, and it ended up with Yugi having 12k over 34 volumes, and no one has even come close since then, so I thought it was an anomaly, and here Yotsuba nearly matches him with only 16!! One more volume and she'll definitely be the highest panel'd character I've counted. (Just gotta wait til 2035 for volume 17 RIP)

Overall this was a very fun reread, and a nice way to chill out while doing panel counting.

If you think this kinda thing is interesting, I've also done it for Yugioh, Rurouni Kenshin, Kaguya-sama, Gundam Origin, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Evangelion!

So I spent the past couple weeks going through FMA again and it was such a blast! Still a 10/10 series that I absolutely adore. The amount of important characters nearly killed me for this project though! So many, and they all just keep showing up! Anyways, here's who showed up most often:

1. Edward Elric - 5980
2. Alphonse Elric - 3899
3. Roy Mustang - 1696
4. Ling Yao - 1301
5. Scar - 1186
6. Winry Rockbell - 1163
7. Riza Hawkeye - 1042
8. Greed - 978
9. Envy - 943
10. Van Hoenheim - 844
11. Wrath - 826
12. Father - 769
13. Alex Louis Armstrong - 730
14. Pride - 689
15. Mei Chang - 648
16. Olivier Mira Armstrong - 615
17. Kimblee - 531
18. Izumi Curtis - 526
19. Xiaomei - 511
20. Lan Fan - 477
21. Tim Marcoh - 469
22. Gluttony - 465
23. Darius - 341
24. Jean Havoc - 332
25. Barry The Chopper - 324
26. Miles - 315
27. Heinkel - 297
28. Lust - 293
29. Buccaneer - 292
30. Sloth - 276
31. Maes Hughes - 268

38. Zampano - 227
39. Paninya - 215
40. Heymans Breda - 205
41. Kain Fuery - 184
42. Knox - 177
43. Denny Brosh - 161
44. Sig Curtis - 161
45. Rose - 137
46. Cornello - 127
47. Black Hayate - 112
48. Trisha Elric - 107
49. Grumman - 105
50. Den - 94
51. Bido - 89
52. Elicia Hughes  - 74
53. Shou Tucker - 69
54. Sheska - 67
55. Gracia Hughes - 66
56. Truth - 61
57. Nina Tucker - 55

Was really hoping Greed would make it to 1000 panels but he just missed out! Also funny that most of Trisha's panels came from bonus chapters. Lust having more panels than so many other characters despite dying so early was also quite interesting. Overall this was a super fun manga to do panel counting for!

If this sounds interesting to you, I've also done it for Yugioh, Rurouni Kenshin, Kaguya-sama, Gundam Origin, and Evangelion!
