An upset this early in the game makes me sad.

The surprise. “Asachura” was supposed to win. Such is the unpredictability of Saimoe.

Asachura was not going to win lol, I’m honestly surprised she came so close. Ayame is underestimated, but she’s decently popular. The Haruhi fanbase has long and away discarded Asachura and left her for dead. The right hand side of the A1 group is beyond weak, I wouldn’t be surprised if Minna ended up winning it. Misaki surprised me, however, as I thought Kaguya would have won in a close one. How embarrassing, but that is the nature of weak pairings. Asuna didn’t stand a chance, but with the unpredictability of Saimoe, she somehow finished second.
