| a) Bot accounts (prob not, who would make an account for this anime at this season anyways?) b) Some users completed the anime lately and faved her. c) [Most possible] Some people remade their fav listing, since it's limited to 10 (20 to donators). d) [Not sure] Bot accounts were faving Chisato and MAL decided to kill those accs, removing the favs afterwards. |

Austin_Bale said: MAL regularly purges bot accounts that inflate favorite numbers for certain characters. They are bots programmed to do random tricks such as adding favourite character, manga, etc, upload a bio and a profile picture. The goal is to pass these accounts as legitimate so the anti-bots measurement don't detect them. Afterward they use these bots to manipulate the score of the database.

| Well even Chisato was inflated then because now she’s around 5.7 k |
| I think bots are at it again |
