Again, another day of weak voting returns - one match took in exactly 1000 votes, and none of them hit 1300. Aruru won, as expected. Momoko managed to pull out a victory over Pachira by 60 votes - but the world's strongest bride is probably the tournament's weakest winner, as we've had plenty of rounds where the third place finisher pulled in more than 427 votes! Finally, Aika pulled in a strong victory over Montmorency, showing that embarrassing comments are indeed still prohibited.

F-3 is all Seto no Hanayome, pitting Maki the tiny assassin against the nameless, clumsy, bespectacled Iinchou (class rep). Maki has certain advantages - goodness knows being very short and murderously bipolar is no handicap in this competition - but the clumsy girl moe presented by Iinchou is a formidable challenge. The latter pulled in significantly more votes in the prelims, as well. With another competitor, it's entirely possible that a split vote would sink both of the Seto competitors, but Futago Hime just isn't the show to do it.

I would be shocked, amazed, and flabbergasted if Miyuki didn't take F-7. Sure, she's a one-dimensional character. Sure, people are starting to call her "Mi-wiki" due to her enormous store of useless information. But she's more or less designed to be inoffensively moe in one of the most popular shows this season, and the opposition is fairly weak. (Not that I have something against girls who jump through time! But c'mon, against a clumsy girl who's blind as a bat without her glasses and lives in mortal fear of the dentist's drill?)

F-11 puts a couple of strong competitors from some second-rank shows up against each other. Manabi Straight hasn't really had a whole lot of voting success this far, but Manabi herself has a shot. She's up against Kaede from Shuffle, one of the original yandere characters. (Not sure about the origin of the term. It's obviously meant to contrast with tsundere, but instead of being both sweet and prickly, yandere girls are alternately sweet and completely insane. Think Rena in one of her Oyashiro moods...) Kaede has the voting advantage, but only a small one - Manabi came in just behind the top eight in her first prelim round and won the second prelim outright.
