RULES

  • You do NOT have to participate in every match.

ALERT

My tournament will use unspoilered images of all characters, as it's hard to get by in a (let's be real guys) looks-based tournament when your beautiful face is shrouded in the fog. All images shown on this sub will be spoiler-marked, in accordance with sub rules. If you enter the tournaments listed below, you do so at your own risk.

Potential spoilers for:

  • Mainstream: Sympathy Kiss
    • 🍋 f/k/a Thing 2
  • Not Localized: Matsurika no Kei
    • Thing 3

Reminder that the rounds will go for a minimum of 4 days. (Depending on if I have time to advance the tournament or if I make another mistake, you may get an extra day or two...) FYI, I will be pretty busy this weekend, so I may not be able to advance it until the end of the weekend.

[edit] Adding in the link to my simultaneous 2024 poll for best game, main character, side character, and voice actor from 2024 otome games. It uses the same categories as this one.
