<p>Focusing on word counts, as line counts/bubble counts are more about formatting and dramatic effect than anything to do with quantity.</p>
<p>The top three characters are no surprise, but I was a bit surprised at how the rest of the list shook out.</p>
<h2>Top Fifteen Characters By Word Count</h2>
<ol>
<li>28,046: Shindou Hikaru</li>
<li>10,422: Fujiwara no Sai</li>
<li>8,617: Waya Yoshitaka</li>
<li>8,216: Touya Akira</li>
<li>4,462: Isumi Shin'ichirou</li>
<li>3,514: Kurata Atsushi</li>
<li>3,108: Ochi Kousuke</li>
<li>3,078: Ogata Seiji</li>
<li>2,693: Touya Kouyou</li>
<li>2,654: Tsutsui Kimihiro</li>
<li>2,587: Kaga Tetsuo</li>
<li>2,466: Mitani Yuuki</li>
<li>2,439: Fujisaki Akari</li>
<li>2,315: Yáng Hǎi</li>
<li>2,028: Amano</li>
</ol>
<p>Waya outtalking Touya is no surprise, but I thought it might be a little closer; I'd vastly overestimated how much talking Touya did post-148.</p>
<p>I didn't expect Touya Kouyou to rank as highly as he did. He does, however, get a surprising amount of dialogue towards the end.</p>
<p>That Akari doesn't outtalk Kaga or even Mitani was surprising to me, though it really shouldn't be. I desperately hope she has a happy, fulfilling, and distracting high school career ahead of her.</p>
<p>I would have spitballed Kuwabara Hon'inbou up way higher on the list (he comes in at #16, with a word count of 1,893).</p>
<p>Hikaru's mom gets approximately the same number of words as Watanabe (her 1,540 to his 1,513, placing them at #17 and #18 respectively).</p>
<p>Yashiro comes in #30 with 999 words, putting him smack between Su-yeong (1,024 words) and Tsubaki (973 words).</p>
<p>Adorably, Touya Akiko and Seo Chang-won are one right after the other (#69 and #70, with 345 words and 337 words). I love Touya-sensei's bro-hood with Seo Chang-won too much for words! :3</p>
<p>ETA: Sorry for the delay in replaying; I hadn't realised I'd posted this as public, since I've spent the last month talking to myself in private posts ^^ It was so great to hear from you guys; I hope you're doing well, and I'm so gladdened to see you guys still love HikaGo ♥</p>
<p>Oh, and the transcripts themselves are available <a href="http://gogohikago.com/wiki/Transcripts">on the wiki</a>; once I've finished the JA transcripts I was gonna make something for offline reading like an epub or something, so that's down the pipe.</p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=verys&ditemid=8387" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
