So, I'm doing a Prince of Tennis panel count.

I KNOW, I'm such a nerd. 8DDDD
I remember back when I hung out on NarutoFan 24/7, there was a Naruto manga panel count- counting how many panels each character was in, to compare screen time and stuff. I always thought that was really cool...
So last night, I came up with the idea of doing a panel count for the Tenipuri manga...I didn't start it until this morning cause I came up with it at like midnight last night, but w/e...

It's actually pretty amusing to see how it's turning out- I just finished volume 2. I didn't realize how late Taka was introduced compared to the other regulars- all of the other regulars had showed up a couple of chapters into volume 1 and had various bits of screen time. However, Taka didn't have ONE PANEL until the VERY LAST PAGE of VOLUME 2, when they showed the final set of regulars after the ranking matches. Kirihara got a panel before Taka- when reporter dude was saying that there's only one other middle-school tennis player that can do the one-footed split step. xDDD Meanwhile, 3 of the top 6 are the Freshman Trio, with the other two being Echizen (duhhh) and the two Echizen faced in the ranking tournament, Kaidou and Inui.
Sasabe from chapter 1 was the first to hit 100 panels, and at the end of chapter one he had more panels than Echizen- but of course, since Sasabe basically never shows up again, he's stuck at 108 panels for the series. Horio's the only character other than Echizen to hit 200- ewww. And Echizen's keeping a steady rate of panels, so far he's gotten 100 panels every 4 chapters.
Oh, and I probably mixed Ikeda and Hayashi up (they're the two that were bullying the freshman with that can game), but I can't figure out which one's which so I just kinda guessed...?

Anyway, this is how everything stands after the first two volumes:
