Real-life re-enactment of romantic manga scenes
AdvertisementHere’s a fun survey from goo Ranking into what cliched scenes from romantic manga comics would women like to try experiencing in real life. If there is a male version published later, I’ll be sure to report that too!
Demographics
Over the 20th and 21st of December 2010 1,128 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 65.4% of the sample were female, 11.9% in their teens, 17.2% in their twenties, 30.2% in their thirties, 23.2% in their forties, 10.0% in their fifties, and 7.4% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. This survey was for women only.
Looking at Google for a suitable image to illustrate number one, I did notice that the chin-grabbing kiss does seem to be the most popular move out there!
