Winners: Nagi and Himari.

Round 1 matches for Groups A & B are now over. No real surprise seeing Nagi’s campaign moving forward in the contest. A vote total of 424 is pretty impressive as well. Also I must acknowledge Himari’s win over Kaori. She just squeaked by with 4 additional votes more — reminding us how important it is to support your favorite nominee.

Saimoe will now be taking a break for this weekend’s Comiket 78 event. The tournament will resume on August 16th for Groups C & D first-round matches. See you then!
