Winner: Saki Miyanaga.

Group Af Results:

  • 1位　226票　Miyanaga Saki @ Saki: Achiga-hen – Episode of Side-A
  • 2位　214票　Amae Koromo @ Saki: Achiga-hen – Episode of Side-A

Here it is! Saki versus Koromo. Who would survive and become our first Best 8 finalist? For Saki this would mean a quarterfinal debut after three campaign runs. (Back in 2009, she came exceedingly close to a QF spot, but was elminated by Hayate’s own Nagi.) For Kodomo, this would mean a third visit to the promise land. (Her previous best was in the 2010 Semifinals, where she unfortunately had to succumb to the threatening power of Hayate’s Nagi as well.)

Sorry Koromo, but your road to glory ends here. Today Saki came out the victor with a total vote count of 226 — a 12 vote difference. She keeps her dreams alive with a debut in the QFs. Congrats to her for making it this far!

Next up is the Group B Finals. Akarin MUST win tomorrow. Personally I believe she is one of the remaining players left who can eliminate the S-tier Saki force — i.e. Toki, Matsumi sisters. So for the sake of keeping this contest from a complete faction takeover, lets go Akarin!
