Nifty to see Chihayafuru on top of all those shounens.  It deserves all the attention.  Good to see Kono Oto Tomare placing well, too. 

No. 10 is also interesting--the Japanese certainly love their detectives.  Actually, some of my favorite TV series ever are Japanese detective works, like Trick and Keizoku.  Both are freaking brilliant.  I really need to rewatch Keizoku: SPEC 2 and the related movies, there is nothing like it.
