teddiursarah:

Found this at the end of volume 6 of the bunkoban manga, and thought I might share it with tumblr since I’ve never seen it on the internet anywhere?? c: (also everyone loves a good ol’ personality chart amirite)

Takahashi drew up this chart which describes each character’s traits along three different axes:

narcissistic vs altruistic



nonsensical* vs self-restrained/showing self-control

greedy, attached/obsessed vs unselfish/unavaricious, indifferent

Each axis is a continuum moving from one trait to its opposite. The centre of each axis is 0**, and you can score a maximum of 5 points (levels) in either direction.

*The actual word used here is 電波 (denpa) which literally means ‘electromagnetic wave’, but it’s apparently also a slang term for a character archetype describing someone who’s a bit ridiculous/absurd/prone to wild fantasies, etc. The term actually originates from the idea of someone who believes they can communicate via electromagnetic waves. #aliens??

**Also, the centre of the graph (i.e. a score of 0 on each axis) is labelled “ordinary/average person”.

Here’s what each of the characters scored:
