We're now starting the official voting to find out who is everyone's favorite manga character. We had a total of 66 manga characters make the first cut. 
WOW! I'm impressed. I really didn't think we'd get that many.Please take a moment and verify that your personal seconds have all made the cut. I had to do a lot of back and forth with two windows opened so I might have missed one.
That's why I tried to keep up with it every day but I'm human so don't get mad. Just let me know and I'll update the list. I haven't read many manga so I might have skipped one because I didn't realize it was a same character or title as one already nominated.Balmung - .hack//Legend of Twilight

If you're ready, vote now.
This round you're allowed to vote for 7 characters only. If you type an 8th, it will be ignored so the first 7 you type count. Again, no take backs because that's just too hard to keep up with.The goal here is to knock out 16 characters this round to get the number down to 50. But depending on how the voting goes, we might have a few more or a few less for the next round. Ties can result in multiple characters making the next round or getting knocked out. I'll keep everyone posted when things like this happen.
Remember, you're free to sell your characters again if you want. I think it's part of the fun of the thread to see how creative people can get but it's certainly not required.
The only thing required is to have fun! 
I'll vote a little later. You have until Aug. 22nd to get your votes in. Again, I'll just post closed sometime during that day. Throughout the week, I'll update this thread with tallys to show who the current leaders are, etc.
