Amane Hikaru ranked no.1 in most valentine chocolates received in 2017. The top 50 winners of valechoco got their own character badges in full color art by Takeshi Konomi. 

Then in a bizarre turn of events, Konomi Takeshi & Co. turned the Valechoco Top 50 Character Badges into a surprise ranking contest! :DDDDDD

The results were Announced during Konomi Takeshi’s Talkshow last December 24, 2017

umihoshi replied to your video

“VALECHOCO 2017 Happy Summer Valentine Footage on youtube watch it...”

atobe's response was p sweet. thanking sensei sincerely like that. it's funny how they didn't even have a projection of davide, even though he was no 1 =v= bet they hadn't seen it coming and couldn't make it in time

my favorite parts were:

Cotton Candy Maker

Ryoma referring to ryoga as “aniki”

Ryoma cheering enthusiastically for karupin

Oishi: “56 is Dan Taichi!” Echizen: “DADADAN!”

RYOMA MAKING CUTE SIDE COMMENTS

Sensei whispering to Ryoma and patting his back

Fuji highfiving sensei and ryoma

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

He Is NO.1

#umihoshi #ryoma echizen #MMD echizen grew on me i want to adopt him #Fuji mmd cant keep his eyes closed #good luck next time atobe

VALECHOCO 2017 - KONOMI TAKESHI WHITE DAY REPORT!!!

More than 100,000 chocolates were securely delivered to their respective characters!

Konomi thanks everybody for sending their heartfelt love every year!

So this year’s valechoco 2017 winners will be announced on a special tv program! It will also include behind-the-scenes footage. POT WILL BE ON TV

Konomi Takeshi announced that August 14 be called “Happy Summer Valentines Day”! HE MADE HIS OWN HOLIDAY

He will release his 4th single called “Happy Summer Valentine” on June 14, 2016! HE GOT A NEW SONG

He received 1000 chocolates too! and will probably eat them while working on the manga

lookin back on valechoco of the last 4 years:

valechoco 2013 tally was  22,532, for the top ten characters

valechoco 2014 had the most number of chocolate at 131,172 boxes just for the top 10 characters. This happened because someone broke the 1 choco 1 vote tradition and sent Syusuke fuji 8000 boxes of chocolate. This resulted in an all out war as atobe’s and other characters’ fans retaliated in full force.

valechoco 2015 didnt happen because Jump Square (NPOT & KT headquarters) were overwhelmed with the results of VC 2014 and cancelled the event

valechoco 2016 total was 112,863 chocolate (jump square lifted the ban lol)

SOURCES (1) (2)

To end this report, I quote Konomi Takeshi: “Please go easy on the chocolate.”
