Wistoria's leap to the top came after a particularly strong episode that pushed its vote share past the rest of the field by a comfortable two-point margin. Witch Hat Atelier slid to second but remains a dominant presence this season, having led the chart multiple times already.

Biggest Movers and Debuts

My Hero Academia: More made an impressive debut at fifth place with 5.09%, signaling strong early viewer reception for the franchise's latest spinoff series. Its arrival just barely edged out Daemons of the Shadow Realm, which held steady at fourth with 5.10% a gap of just one-hundredth of a percentage point.

Re:ZERO Season 4 continues to hold firm in the top three, sitting at 7.35% in third place. The isekai heavyweight has been a consistent performer throughout the Spring 2026 season and shows no signs of dropping out of contention for the top spot.

Classroom of the Elite IV and Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 3 both maintained mid-table positions, while The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Season 2 held ninth. The romance series has also been generating buzz on trending couple charts, with the Amane and Mahiru pairing claiming the top couple ship ranking for the week.

How Trending Charts Compare

Separate trending data from earlier in the season paints a slightly different picture. Witch Hat Atelier had claimed first place on the trending chart for the second time in the season's first few weeks, while Wistoria only cracked the top 10 for the first time after initially placing thirteenth. The gap between the two has clearly narrowed as Wistoria's second season finds its footing and delivers increasingly impactful episodes.

MARRIAGETOXIN has also been climbing on trending charts, reaching third position and establishing itself as one of the dark horse hits of the season.

What to Watch This Week

With Wistoria now holding the crown and Witch Hat Atelier within striking distance at just over two percentage points behind, Week 6 sets up a direct rematch at the top of the poll. My Hero Academia: More's debut performance suggests it could also become a factor in the upper ranks as the season progresses. Spring 2026 continues to deliver one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory, with no single title able to lock down a sustained hold on first place.
